Hi Darvo,
 
Congratulations on 1 year smoke-free! Way to go! It's interesting that you are thinking about a career change. In regards to getting into this field, what are you looking to do?

Hey Darvo, congrats on nearly 1 year !.
 
Well to answer your question.... there were 900 + browsers ..... browsing when i logged on just now, so you've certainly come to the right place ! I'm sure we would all appreciate if you stuck around & offered your experience.
 
Are you wanting to make money or just provide free advice ?
 
As i see it, there's some real dodgy looking 'quit now !' marketing going on. Then again there's the likes of Allen Carr who is completely genuine with his clinics & literature. There are also a heap of quit aids - pills, patches, gums, programs, literature, Hypnotherapy, Acupuncture... you name it's out there. The market is saturated with it !.
 
Thank goodness for the Stop Smoking Center, Its free, provides unlimited advice, experience & support to an often broke, confused & desperate smoker. It's a shame we can't clean up all the misleading claptrap out there.
 
Sorry Rant over.
 
I genuinely hope you get some interesting replies to your post, only wish i could help more.
 
Good On ya !
