Abstract
Smoking is known to cause disease and shorten life. Scientific findings on health dangers, government regulations for labels and advertising, lower insurance rates to non-smokers, and cash incentives to employees who stop smoking all serve as strong encouragers to kick the habit (Davies, 1986). Recent Iowa legislation and the nationwide trend for a smoke free societal environment are motivating forces to quit smoking permanently. Addiction to tobacco is a learned habit which is possible to relearn as the habit of nonsmoking (Hyder, 1979). Once the smoker begins asking. "Why do I smoke?", and begins to approach the problem from a deep, internal desire to examine his/her smoking habit, the counselor can be a resource person and facilitator for the smoker to deal with personal smoking issues (American Cancer Society, 1987).
