An EX Update—for Anglers
July 1, 2010
Legacy’s EX campaign, a free internet resource using evidence-based information to guide smokers to useful resources that help with successful quit attempts, was described in the February 2010 newsletter. EX touches all kinds of people in all kinds of situations. There is a feature on ESPN about two experienced fishermen who have qualified for the Bassmaster Classic over 25 times and were smokers. They are struggling, on camera, to re-learn life - and fishing - without cigarettes with the help of EX.
You can watch their struggles and learn about their success here:
