Whoopi Goldberg “Kickin’ Butts”
As Whoopi Goldberg mentioned previously on The View, she is trying to quit smoking. She is going to share her experiences with the audience through a series of weekly segments. Here are the weekly topics:
Monday, October 15 – the official kick-off of “Whoopi’s Kickin’ Butts”
Tuesday, October 23 – different techniques for quitting. Whoopi selects her method of choice
Tuesday, October 30 – PSAs encouraging people to quit smoking. Do they work?
Friday, November 9 – how smoking affects the human body
Thursday, November 15 – “The View” will mark The American Cancer Society’s “Great American Smokeout” as they check-in with Whoopi and monitor her progress
The Great American Smokeout is part of the American Cancer Society Great American Health Challenge, a year-round initiative that encourages Americans to adopt healthy lifestyles to reduce their risk of cancer. The Great American Smokeout occurs every third Thursday in November, encouraging smokers to quit or make plans towards quitting smoking on that day. The Great American Health Challenge calls on Americans to ‘Check, Move, Nourish and Quit’ through the Great American Health Check each January, the Great American Get Active Challenge each May, and the Great American Eat Right Challenge every August. More information on the Great American Health Challenge is available at www.cancer.org/greatamericans or by calling 1-800-ACS-2345.

After 40 years my mom quit a few months ago. My best friend also quit. My mom did it on her own and my friend did it with the help of medications.
