Heidi Woodring, Nevada Elizabeth Dole Foundation Fellow
Heidi supports her Army veteran husband of 16 years, Chris, by caregiving for his PTSD, major
depressive disorder, knee and back ailments, distal tip amputation and other health-related issues. It’s
full-time transportation, emotional, medical, financial and essentially all-encompassing personal and
household care that coexists with the needs of three kids, ages 7, 13 and 17, and elderly
grandparents.
Her helping hand also extends outwardly to other wounded warrior families and caregiver
communities. For three consecutive years between 2013 and 2015, Heidi was awarded the President’s
Volunteer Services Award for her work with Operation Homefront and Hearts of Valor. She enjoys
advocating for other caregivers, and bringing awareness to the caregiver’s life and struggles in her role
as an Elizabeth Dole Fellow.

Using a Smoking Cessation Medication
• Everyone trying to quit smoking is encouraged to use medication unless they
fall into these special circumstances:
• People who smoke less than 10 cigarettes a day
• Adolescents under 18 years of age
• Pregnant or breastfeeding women
• People with certain medical conditions
• People should consult their healthcare provider regarding:
• Whether or not to use medications
• Which type of medication(s) to use
• Any other medications or health conditions that may be relevant
• Follow the directions on the package and your doctor’s instructions
![Page 34: Welcome [] militarycaregiver@ ... •Freedom From Smoking in-person group clinic * •Freedom From Smoking Plus •Lung HelpLine * ... Freedom From Smoking Self-Help …](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070607/5aa08ea07f8b9a62178e4828/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Nicotine Replacement Medications
• Includes nicotine gum, patches, lozenge, nasal spray and inhaler
• Nicotine replacement medications (NRT) deliver nicotine to the body more
slowly than cigarettes and cause lower nicotine levels in the bloodstream.
• NRT occupies nicotine receptors in the brain, keeping them inactive or
desensitized. This results in:
• Less desire to smoke
• Less withdrawal symptoms
• Less pleasure and reward if the person smokes a cigarette
![Page 35: Welcome [] militarycaregiver@ ... •Freedom From Smoking in-person group clinic * •Freedom From Smoking Plus •Lung HelpLine * ... Freedom From Smoking Self-Help …](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070607/5aa08ea07f8b9a62178e4828/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Medications Reduce Recovery Symptoms

36
Non-Nicotine Smoking Cessation Medications
• Includes bupropion (Zyban® or Wellbutrin®) and varenicline (Chantix®)
• Begin taking these medications 1-2 weeks before Quit Day
• Zyban® works by blocking the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine
(responsible for pleasure and arousal).
• Chantix® works by reducing feelings of craving and withdrawal and by
blocking satisfaction and rewarding effects of nicotine
