Okay so this is a tough one for anybody that has tried or is trying to quit smoking. I was told to get this book from the online support group I used it to help me quit smoking. I found the book relevant in some areas but honestly,I dont think there is one thing about quitting smoking that is easy. I am now 14 days smoke free and cant say that it has been easy but I am willing to try anything to help me quit smoking.I took things from the book, used a patch for the first week and occasionally some nicotine gum, but what really has helped me besides the pot of coffee a day( LOL)is the online support group I found on About.com for quitting smoking.Having others who understand how hard this is and finding support day or night has helped me the most.If the book helps, use it.If it is a patch, some gum, a plastic straw, do it.What I will recommend is support.It will help more than I can tell you.Smoking is a drug addiction.Some say stronger than herion.I dont know that for sure, but I can tell you that it is bad and hard to quit but doable,I am doing it so anyone can.If the book helps great! Try anything, just quit!
