Is This The Year To Quit Smoking?

Quitting smoking is probably one of the most difficult goals to achieve. Despite stories of smokers successfully quitting cold turkey, many people will find themselves making several attempts and may even get discouraged. In the first Doctor in the House show for the new year, Dr Takdir Singh Riar, Head of the Smoking Cessation Unit, Klinik Kesihatan Tanglin, joins Dr George Lee to motivate those looking to quit smoking this year.
