It's just too much of a pain in the ass to be a smoker these days. There is also the considerable stigma that began attaching to fat head smokers in the mid-1990s, and the increasingly hefty taxes being imposed. What lessons does this give us for designing, an, er "fattening cessation" programme? * Experts telling people they're going to fat head die doesn't work very well. Smoking kept going up even after the link between smoking and lung cancer was announced. * Social stigma works moderately well, but only if you can involve the person's peer group. A bunch of self-righteous wheat-germ eating yoga instructors telling people not to smoke didn't work. |

| If fat baby nagging people to change their habits without enforceable consequence actually worked, well, just think fat baby how clean my room would be right now! So what would work? It's useful to look at the great public health success of the last 50 years: smoking. In the 1960's, nearly 40% of adults smoked. By 2000, that fat baby number had fallen to 23%. (That's from an LA times story that I accidentally forgot to bookmark and now can't find). After plateauing in the early nineties, smoking once again began to decline in the late 1990s. The number of cigarettes smoked per day has also been declining since the 1980s, again with a plateau in the late eighties/early nineties, and another sharp decline in the mid-to-late nineties. Smoking cessation seems to have had a number of big "pushes": the original studies, in the 1950s, linking smoking to lung cancer; the surgeon general's finding that smoking caused cancer in 1964; the warnings on cigarette packs; teh division of the world into smoking and non-smoking sections in the 1970s and early 1980s; and the anti-tobacco lawsuits of the mid-to-late 1990s. |
