I was reading these statistics from a site and I was shocked!


It is estimated 6.6 million children live in homes with at least one alcoholic parent.


80% percent of American high school students have tried alcohol and 62% of these teenagers have been drunk.  


There are approximately 14 million people addicted to alcohol in the United States alone.

Sorry, these specific facts came from the Narconon Drug Rehab in Georgia.

Here are some tips I found to help people while they quit smoking to not gain weight.


1. Plan activities for times when you have the urge to smoke a cigarette.


2. Keep your hands busy all the time (especially at night)


3. Carry a bottle of water with you whenever you can


4. Bring a healthy snack with you in Ziplock bags


5. Keep sugarfree gum, mints or even moutwash with you


6. Exercise!

What is the solution for this problem? Some campuses are dry, but I don't think that is the solution. I think the students have to learn how to handle stress in a safe manner. You will be faced with difficult and stressful events all your life, you can't just go get drunk to make all your problems disappear.
