Smoking... One of the largest public health issues of our day. For a certain period of time, the percentage of adult smokers had steadily declined with the aid of anti-smoking educational campaigns (largely designed by health psychologists). However, in 2006, this trend had stalled...
For some reason, awareness and education ceased to be a driving force for current smokers to quit. This is where Health Psychology professionals enter the picture again. This time it's much more complicated.

What is the demographic make-up of today's smoker? Why are they immune to current anti-smoking awareness campaigns? Most smokers today are among the lower tiers of wealth and education in this country. For a significant percentage of individuals, the sophisticated delivery of education about health problems is less effective than addressing the more subconscious motivators of change, such as peer pressure and image concerns.
This is where health psychology becomes very interesting and vital for our progress toward eradicating smoking, eliminating the staggering associated health care costs to our country, and addressing other issues such as disease caused by stress or nutritional habits.
