A little pocket guide of why Smoking Cigars for your health is the new "healthy" option for any busy lifestyle. It is really just Quit/Stop smoking satire written by a lover of smoking and fine cigars.
Help Yourself or Someone You Love Quit Smoking the T'ai Chi Way is a 3-stage program (pre-Quitting, Quitting, and post-Quitting) for the unready, the stubborn, and the scared. Emphasis is on severing the smoker's emotional link with tobacco by preparing the unready, persuading the stubborn, and calming the fears of the apprehensive. T'ai Chi is a very old Chinese method of reducing stress and maintaining health. Now the magic and mystery of this ancient art can be used to help the 45 million American smokers overcome their addiction to this paralyzing habit. The program has more exercises and strategies than similar systems. It contains video links to show you how to do the t'ai chi exercises which makes quitting easier. These practical exercises enable the reader to feel the internal energy that the Chinese call chi. This energy, and the ideas behind it, can unlock the door to freedom, better health, and happiness.
In the book RISE FROM THE ASHES, the reader is guided on a transformational journey from tobacco dependence to freedom. Whereas conventional smoking cessation programs speak of a 'three-link chain of addiction' consisting of psychological, physical and social components, this new unconventional book contends that there is a fourth missing link - 'the spiritual' - which must be addressed for true and lasting freedom to be found. Nicotine addiction (or any addiction for that matter) may be an indication that something is spiritually out-of-sync in a person's life. In this book, the spirituality of both addiction and freedom is examined in depth. In the research literature there is something referred to as the 'Stages of Change Model.' With regards to an addictive behavior or habit, people are usually in one of six stages: Pre-contemplation (not ready to quit); Contemplation (thinking about quitting); Preparation (ready to quit); Action (quitting); Maintenance (staying quit); Termination (living quit). The Christian mystical traditions also speak of stages: Awakening, Conversion, Purgation, Illumination, and Union. As a person moves through these stages he or she is growing stronger spiritually, becoming more centered upon the Divine. While it may be true that usually the spiritual stages are representative of a person's life journey as a whole, they may also represent the changes necessary for a person to move from one unique area of brokenness to a place of healing, freedom, and life. These psychological and spiritual models of change complement one another, and are interwoven throughout this book. Author, Gary H. Peck credits his own ability to quit smoking and to remain tobacco-free to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit and to an ongoing pursuit of the spiritual life. By learning to implement time-honored spiritual practices and to apply age-old wisdom, the reader of this book will also be able to enter into the spacious freedom of a spirit-centered, smoke-free life.
"How much do I miss cigarettes? How much do I miss cigarettes, you ask? Oh, I don't know if you can believe this. I don't know if you can understand this. But if you had a friend that you really loved, that you really, really, really loved, and that friend died, that's how much I miss cigarettes." Smoking has been called the hardest habit/addiction to break. Many smokers who try to quit on their own fail, and most who attend a smoking cessation program go back to smoking shortly thereafter. Then there are others who are drawn back to smoking many years after quitting. Why? Grieving for a Smoke addresses the psychological addiction to smoking. Although nicotine is addicting, the cognitive and emotional investment smokers have with smoking plays a major role in the challenge of walking away from the habit. The book discusses a variety of reasons why smoking is highly significant to beginning smokers, what happens as smokers reinforce those reasons through continued smoking, and why smokers return to smoking after quitting. If you have stopped smoking, tried to stop smoking, or have thought about stopping, this book will help you understand the various feelings that will bombard you as you say goodbye to cigarettes. By understanding how your mind will process this "loss," you will be able to take control of your life and move through the various stages of grief to a brighter tomorrow. This book is a must read before you quit and three months after you quit

On Gratitude is the adventures of a schizophrenic recovering from tobacco who, ironically, is a chemical dependency counselor. This photo recovery book playfully works with recovery issues like unemployment, thinking errors, and addiction and shows that gratitude and humor, despite a psychiatric disability, are important in challenging the addictive logic of coyote, a powerful representation of addiction that can pull the rug out from underneath you when you are least expecting it. Jean uses a coyote stuffed animal with clients to represent the addictive beliefs and logic coyote represents to her. She has another doll that represents honesty and sobriety or "smobriety" (from cigarettes). When people want the cigarette or drink they can't refuse-that is coyote's logic and reasoning. In her own journey she asks, "what is the nature of that logic-what does the logic need and what is it hungry for-is there a different way to get that need met?" She challenges her own thinking errors with respect to cigarettes. Nicotine is a cunning, baffling and powerful logic. She calls that addiction coyote. Jean Marie Manthei is in recovery from tobacco for six years. She has worked as a chemical dependency counselor in Colorado Springs since 1993. Jean was motivated to write this book to experience more positive outcomes. The pro-social aspect was that perhaps others would be inspired. There are positive outcomes-you have to create them.

This book was Henry Ford's personal attempt to thwart the public's growing love affair with cigarettes. It features a letter from Ford's friend, inventor Thomas Edison, which reads "Friend Ford, The injurious agent in cigarettes comes principally from the burning paper wrapper. The substance thereby formed, is called "Acrolein." It has a violent action on the nerve centers, producing degeneration of the cells of the brain, which is quite rapid among boys. Unlike most narcotics this degeneration is permanent and uncontrollable. I employ no person who smokes cigarettes. Yours, Thomas A. Edison." Ford also references his discussions regarding cigarettes with the eminent naturalist John Burroughs. The entire pamphlet focuses on discouraging smoking in childhood. Mr. Ford compiled various other testimonials from famous persons giving their opinions on the evils of cigarettes, as well as the rebuttals from Percival I. Hill, President of the American Tobacco Company.
