My guest for this episode of Let’s Talk is Dr. George Kolodner! Dr. Kolodner is an addiction psychiatrist and the Medical Director of the Triple Track Treatment program for smoking and vaping cessation. He is the Chair of the American Society of Addiction Medicine Nicotine and Tobacco Addiction Special Interest Group, and a Clinical Professor of Psychiatry at both the Georgetown University and University of Maryland Schools of Medicine.
In our conversation we dive into the shortcomings of older models of of nicotine cessation treatment, including:
- If we’ve known how hazardous smoking is to health for decades, why is it still such a public health problem?
- Why does the medical and insurance system treat addiction to nicotine differently than other addictions? And more importantly…should it be treated differently?
- What are the three core tracks in your method, and why are each important for nicotine cessation?
- Which is tougher to quit: smoking or vaping?
And more!
