Mianca's First Post

My name is Mianca Tran. I am seventeen and I'm in class... I'm majoring in nursing. This is my first year at Ohio State University of Marion. My main focus in on school and only school. Everything else comes second in less family importance. Umm, I don't know what else to write. Oh, I'm Vietnamese nothing else also, I'm the only child. That's about it...

Some interesting research I found about methods proven to stop smoking is there are tons of methods such as a pill, a patch, electric cigarettes, cold turkey, etc. This article says that counseling is really helpful because they will coach you individually to help you quit. The second health clinics and the third is medicine. I found out that cigarettes have 4,000 chemicals that cause cancer, that's about 40 carcinogens. They say for new patients trying to quit, they should start with coaching and counseling to discuss about their goals to quit and how much to cut back or method to use. Also, they say the hardest thing to have while trying to quit is having someone around you a lot smoking.
