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.

"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

Firstly, congratulations for deciding to take positive action and move forward with The WINNING WAY Method. There are 3 Zones which you will enter to slowly and systematically become a non-smoker: THE CUTTING DOWN ZONE 8 WEEKS, THE QUIT ZERO ZONE 16 WEEKS & THE PERMANENT QUIT ZONE where you reach your final destination. Over the years I have had in-depth conversations with countless smokers who would dearly like to kick the habit, but are terrified that if they do, they will not be or feel themselves, and that it would be a quantum leap into the dark unknown for them. - This is particularly so for long-term smokers. But what I try to get them to think about is not the unknown - but the known - the time when they once were non-smokers and felt their normal-selves. There are so many things in life that seem insurmountable - yet often when we reach our goals, we look back and see that the fretting and worrying was worse than the getting on with it and going through it. You are looking at this book because you want to stop - you have the will, and by following my unique positive mindset strategy, along with using easy supports like e-cigarettes, nicotine replacement methods (NRT), Quit Tea, a hypnosis CD, and de-stressing inhalers, you have the way. It is possible for everyone to achieve non-smoking status. With The WINNING WAY method you do not have to quit right away - it is about small steps that allow you to gradually cut down your cigarette number. - This makes the transition phase as calm and un-stressing as possible, and allows your mind and body to acclimatise. Step by step, I will show you how to be in a much stronger and successful position to quit for good and never want to light up again. - With the WINNING WAY method, smoking will become a thing of the past - a foreign country Shirley Amy, BSc.

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.

In the critically acclaimed "Five Men Who Broke My Hear"t, Manhattan journalist Susan Shapiro revisited five self-destructive romances. In her hilarious, illuminating new memoir, Lighting Up, she rejects five self-destructive substances. This difficult quest for clean living starts with Shapiro's shocking revelation that, at forty, her lengthiest, most emotionally satisfying relationship has been with cigarettes.
A two-pack-a-day smoker since the age of thirteen, Susan Shapiro quickly discovers that it's impossible to be a writer, a nonsmoker, sane, and slender in the same year. The last time she tried to quit, she gained twenty-three pounds, couldn't concentrate on work, and wanted to kill herself and her husband, Aaron, a TV comedy writer who hates her penchant for puffing away. Yet just as she's about to choose her vice over her marriage vows, she stumbles upon a secret weapon.
Dr. Winters, "the James Bond of psychotherapy," is a brilliant but unorthodox addiction specialist, a
former chain-smoker himself. Working his weird magic on her psyche, he unravels the roots of her twenty-seven-year compulsion, the same dangerous dependency that has haunted her doctor father, her grandfather, and a pair of eccentric aunts from opposite sides of the family, along with Freud and nearly one in four Americans. Dr. Winters teaches her how to embrace suffering, then proclaims that her months of panic, depression, insecurity, vulnerability, and wild mood swings win her the award for "the worst nicotine withdrawal in the history of the world."
Shapiro finally does kick the habit-while losing weight and finding career and connubial bliss-only to discover that the second she's let go ofher long-term crutch, she's already replaced it with another fixation. After banishing cigarettes, alcohol, dope, gum, and bread from her day-to-day existence, she conquers all her demons and survives deprivation overload. But relying religiously on Dr. Winters, she soon realizes that the only obsession she has left
to quit is him. . . .
Never has the battle to stem substance abuse been captured with such wit, sophisticated insight, and candor. "Lighting Up" is so compulsively readable, it's addictive.
