QUESTIONS FOR THE SPA GUIDE
Answer to Question 18:
I cannot personally recommend any spa since I have never gone through a stop smoking program at one. However, the following resorts have smoking cessation programs. I suggest contacting each of them and asking for information on their programs and data to support any claimed success rates. I would start with Coolfont.
The following are spa resorts in the US which have smoking cessation programs.
Coolfont
Coolfont's Breathe Free Program provides professional support
to help those ready to give up the habit of smoking. The program
has led hundreds of smokers to a healthier and happier smoke-free
life-style and is recognized by the American Lung Association,
American Heart Association, and American Cancer Society.

Please let me know how it turns out.
By the way, there is a new page on the Spa Site titled "Stop Smoking Spas" found at http://spas.mininco.com/msub28.htm . As I find other spas with smoking cessation programs, I will add them to the page.
