The Father of Smoking Cessation, Dr. Karl Fagerström, tells smokers to quit smoking now. He also listed down ways to get rid of the habit.

Fagerström was in Manila to speak on “Why Quitting Can’t Wait: A Forum on the Issue of Nicotine Addiction.”

Watch this video interview with Fagerstrom done by multimedia reporter Izah Morales.

He has created a nicotine dependence scale, aptly called “The Fagerström Test For Nicotine Dependence,” which later earned him a World Health Organization medal 1999 for outstanding work in tobacco control, according to this website.

Listen to this interesting podcast of Fagerström’s speech during the UK National Smoking Cessation Conference way back in 2005.
