From the Publisher
WARNING: This book will seriously improve your health
'Did you enjoy your first cigarette? Do you know anyone who did? Exactly. Your body's initial reaction to smoking is the true one. Trust it.'
'Look at an ashtray. Imagine the contents of that inside the tender tissues of your own lungs. Do you still want to light up?'
'Grab the keys and run. Smoking is like a lifetime in jail, chained to a habit you hate and fear. Imagine someone has just given you the keys to your cell. What are you waiting for?'
You may wonder why the world needs another book about not smoking, everybody knows the risks associated with smoking: lung cancer, heart disease and premature ageing to name a few.
"I realised that my desire to live as long as possible was stronger than I'd previously thought when something happened which changed my blasé view of smoking profoundly. A close friend of mine, in his late thirties, began suffering severe chest pains and was diagnosed with 'small cell lung tumours' the most virulent and inoperable form of lung cancer. Despite radical surgery and aggressive chemotherapy and radiotherapy, he died in a hospital bed days short of his fortieth birthday. At the age of thirty two, I realised I was only a few years younger than he had been when he developed cancer." Neil Casey
If you are serious about stopping, carry this book with you wherever you go. Whenever you feel a sudden craving for a cigarette (or cigar, pipe, etc) open the book and read as many pages as you need to help you kill the craving.
This little book contains over one hundred 'bite-sized' pieces of non-smoking wisdom, some in the form of statements, some in the form of questions.
