(OPEN):
A RECENT SURVEY SHOWS THAT HALF OF ALL SMOKERS REGULARLY DRINK COFFEE
AND SMOKE, AT THE SAME TIME; AND, WHILE SMOKERS MAY SAY THAT
COFFEE-DRINKING GOES HAND-IN-HAND WITH THEIR CIGARETTE, MANY ARE UNAWARE
THAT SMOKING ACTUALLY AFFECTS THE WAY THAT THEIR BODY PROCESSES
CAFFEINE. THE SURVEY--CONDUCTED BY THE MARKETERS OF "COMMIT®
CAPPUCCINO" NICOTINE LOZENGE--ALSO SHOWS THAT SMOKERS DRINK ALMOST
TWICE AS MUCH COFFEE AS NONSMOKERS; PLUS, 86-PERCENT OF THOSE SURVEYED
ARE UNAWARE THAT THEY MAY NEED TO CUT BACK THEIR CAFFEINE INTAKE--WHEN
TRYING TO QUIT. DOCTOR SAUL SHIFFMAN, OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH, HAS MORE...
(SHIFFMAN):
"IT'S IMPORTANT SMOKERS UNDERSTAND THEY DON'T NEED TO GIVE UP
COFFEE, WHEN TRYING TO QUIT. BUT, BY DRINKING LESS COFFEE, THEY
MAY HELP THEIR BODY ADJUST TO LIFE WITHOUT CIGARETTES--AND AVOID
CAFFEINE SIDE-EFFECTS. SMOKERS ENJOY THE TASTE OF COFFEE--AND THE
NEW 'COMMIT CAPPUCCINO' LOZENGE IS A GREAT OPTION TO HELP A SMOKER QUIT
IN A SAFE, EFFECTIVE WAY--AND GIVES THEM THE COFFEE FLAVOR THEY MAY BE
CRAVING; IT CALMS NICOTINE CRAVINGS AND WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS--WHILE
GIVING SMOKERS THE COFFEE FLAVOR THEY ENJOY, WITHOUT THE CAFFEINE."
