Stopping smoking is marvellous. Starting again is depressing. Finally ending this never-ending cycle is simply DIVINE This book will be of special interest to anyone who managed to stop smoking with Allen Carr's excellent book "The Easyway to Stop Smoking" but started again. Does this refrain sound familiar to you? "I feel so angry with myself and so frustrated. How could I have been so stupid? I re-read Allen's book several times but it doesn't seem to help. I'm desperate. What can I do?" If it does, then this is the book for you. You like every other human being were born a non-smoker. What's more, you never decided to become a smoker for the rest of your life; all you did, like millions before you, was to try a couple of cigarettes. Then one day it dawned on you that you couldn't stop - somehow you had become addicted. Now you simply can't imagine life without smoking; in fact the very idea of never smoking again probably makes you anxious but you are feeling increasingly sick and tired of having to smoke. Sick and tired of being a slave to nicotine and the tobacco/nicotine industry. Maybe like many others, you stopped smoking, were happy as a non-smoker, but for reasons which sounded good at the time and now seem absurd, you lit a cigarette or a cigar, believing that somehow this time you could control it. Now you're smoking the same as before or even more. The time that you spent not smoking seems unreal a distant dream. Perhaps you're one of the millions of smokers who stop every night and start again every morning. Whatever your story or experience, Geoffrey Molloy will help you put an end to this energy-sapping, morale-crushing cycle and guide you to freedom, helping you regain control of your life. Geoffrey Molloy has spent sixteen years (eleven of those in collaboration with Allen Carr) helping thousands of smokers free themselves from the thrall of nicotine addiction. He uses his immense experience, insight and eclectic sense of humour to engage his clients, free them of their addictions and recover their lives. More than 500 corporations have adopted his stop smoking, alcohol or anxiety management programs and he contributes frequently to radio, TV and printed media.
Cigarette Smoke/ Tobacco Rob Me No More, is an autobiography geared to help you as an individaul to get through your cigarette addiction.
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.
"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
The purpose of I WANT TO QUIT SMOKING, SO HELP ME GOD, is to assist smokers using a Christian-based approach. Judy Murphy Simpson, having worked with thousands of smokers, has found that including Christian principles and concepts into the quitting process greatly increases a smoker's opportunity for success. Key messages in the book include: Letting go of past failures Accepting responsibility Developing a positive attitude The vast majority of smokers are physically, mentally and emotionally addicted to cigarettes. They feel better when they have a cigarette. But, nicotine is like a slap in the face. The "hit" that relieves their discomfort quickly loses its short-lived effects. Then the smoker feels let down or tired. Yet smokers often convince themselves that they are never alone, if they have their cigarettes: their little buddy, pal, best friend who is always there to provide comfort and a pick-up. But deep down, most smokers acknowledge the truth: cigarettes are really their worst enemy. What do you have to lose by reading this book?

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.
