David has seen the devastating impact nicotine addiction has on individuals and families. He has spent years developing new concepts and techniques to treat nicotine addiction. He is dedicated and believes deeply in what he does.

Working with thousands of smokers David found that a number of people were dependent on the antidepressant properties of nicotine to medicate underlying emotional issues. As a result he wrote a textbook and workbook and produced a video on Chronic Emotional Stress. When he combined treatment for nicotine addiction with treatment for nicotine dependency recovery rates for smokers went up significantly.
