AMA endorses stop smoking program and TV campaign
The American Medical Association backs a new quit smoking program with corporate sponsors, launching a large TV marketing push. Dr. Randolph Smoak says television will counter tobacco industry narratives, with infomercials hosted by Sarah Purcell and a kit sold via phone or General Nutrition Centers stores. Dr. Edward Taub, who designed the program, notes a pilot showing about 30 percent one-year success, comparable to top national programs.
