There are lots of them out there. Which one is right for you? The stop smoking book that is right for you is the one that gets you to stop smoking.

There are plenty of books on quitting--many informative, supportive, coaxing, humorous, brilliantly researched, and helpful.  I can’t recall the title (it was about 15 years ago I quit smoking cigarettes), but you’ll know it when you see it, as it has something like twenty words in the title, all hyphenated: something like, The No-nagging-low-pressure-how-to-really-quit-smoking-cigarettes-book! 

And it’s written by an MD offering info on how smokes are a dual drug…unlike any other: they are, he says, upper/downers.  When you’re nervous or agitated, you take long…slow…drags and are tranquilized; when you’re logy, sluggish, tired, you take short.quick.puffpuffpuffs, and are instantly energized, hyped up.

Doc X exclaims, “No wonder it’s so hard to quit smoking!”  He also defines another characteristic that helps us appreciate why we’re so hooked.  He gives the times for onset, noting how there’s only one other drug, of all drugs (OTC, street, prescribed that hits the brain faster, and that’s crack cocaine.  If I recall correctly, crack hits you in 3 seconds, heroin in 10, 7.  

Cigarettes are harder to quit than heroin!

To quit smoking get all the help you can, books, tips, friends, support groups etc. If you have smoked for any length of time, if you have ever tried to quit smoking berfore, then you know how hard it is to stop smoking. For some people it is the hardest thing they'll ever do.
