Pandemic Anxiety = Fewer Smokers Quitting

 From a Washington Post story about a small apparent drop in smokers trying to quit.

 “The pandemic took the big basket of anxieties, depression and addiction that we have in the U.S., and, for smokers, it put that basket on steroids,” Catherine Saucedo, deputy director of the Smoking Cessation Leadership Center at the University of California at San Francisco, said in a news release from NAQC.
