Adult smokers usually have five to eight attempts before they can really say: I’m finally a non-smoker.
But why do so many people not get rid of nicotine addiction? Which routines and everyday behaviors keep smokers in line? And which health consequences do these people particularly like to suppress – such as the fact that a cigarette shortens life by eleven minutes?
The psychologist Dr. Karin Vitzthum is the director of the Institute for Tobacco Cessation and Smoking Prevention at the Vivantes Clinic in Berlin. In the podcast she explains the physical and psychological dependency, why smokers gloss over consumption and gives advice for those affected and their relatives.
“Embarrassing – doesn’t exist” is the podcast that breaks body taboos.
Compulsions, buttocks hygiene, pain during sex – these are topics that hardly anyone likes to talk about openly. Knowledge editor Clara Ott wants to change that. In her podcast “Embarrassing – doesn’t exist” she asks experts, doctors and psychologists the questions that many do not dare to ask. Because silence is often worse than shame.
Embarrassing questions that Clara Ott should ask experts in the podcast are welcome to clara.ott@welt.de.
