The Power of One
This month, United States Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin released her first report on the effects of tobacco smoke. (This is Dr. Benjamin’s first such report, but it is the 30th in a series of similar reports since 1964.)

It is the first report to claim that even one cigarette is enough to cause cancer, heart attack, and other organ damage.

Having earned her Masters of Social Work from the University of Southern California and with over thirteen years of experience as a clinician, she recently authored The Law of Sobriety as a "guide to life." I asked Gaba for her take on addiction in America and her approach to addiction recovery. We also discussed Janice Dickinson's full-blown panic attack that aired on Celebrity Rehab.
