Everyone has their thoughts and beliefs about the best and easiest way to conquer smoking. I used to smoke - in fact I was really good at it. REALLY good at it! However I knew deep down that I didn't want to do it and was introduced to the book 'Alan Carr's EasyWay to give up smoking' it definately worked for me as well as my wife - but you HAVE TO WANT TO GIVE UP! I don't know what it is about this book that makes it work but it does. It even says that you should smoke while reading it! Google the title and you are bound to find used ones for sale. Ironically though, I believe Alan Carr died of lung cancer. I have now been smoke free for a number of years and have done a complete about face and am running marathons! From one addiction to another! Good luck!
