On this episode of Blunt Force Truth, Chuck Woolery and Mark Young welcome Dr. Gregory Jantz and Kent Atherton to discuss how evidence suggests that the government actually wants people to keep smoking, despite the message they seem to promote.
Dr. Jantz is an addiction expert who founded The Center – A Place of Hope, and Kent Atherton is a serial entrepreneur with an interest in smoking cessation. Based on years of working with his patients, Dr. Jantz talks about the science and psychology behind addiction – and what they’ve found helps people successfully overcome addiction and what doesn’t.
They follow the shocking money trail of the billions of dollars the government receives to support smoking cessation programs, which they won from tobacco companies in 1998. The incredible amount of deceptive, wasteful and misguided spending reveals how the government blatantly profits off of citizens’ nicotine addictions.

He is a sought-after public speaker and a best-selling author of 35 books.
