4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly helpful, December 29, 2000

By	Kristin S. (Vermont, U.S.) - See all my reviews

Of course, a book can't make you want to quit smoking. But, it can remind you of the reasons and even provide some new ones.

Not all of the reasons in this book will work for every person. But, if one doesn't apply to you, some of the other 1,439 will. Some are funny: "Climbing the walls is aerobic exercise." Others focus on health, smell, expense, perserverance and pride.

Carry this book in your pocket or purse (it's small enough). Highlight favorite or especially meaningful statements and flip to them in times of need. Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars SMOKERS AND EX-SMOKERS MUST BUY THIS BOOK, July 23, 2002

By	Adam (Palm Beach, FL USA) - See all my reviews

This book got me to quit. I've tried quitting a hundred times. I smoked for 24 years since I was 14 years old and have never gone more than 2 months without a cigarette until now. I've been quit for 3 months as of today and I'm nowhere close to going back; I'm done with this disgusting habit. I've used a million different strategies to quit and I always went back to smoking...until I bought this book. Whenever I tried to quit before I would have a reason to quit that I thought would work. For example, I would quit because of my health, or my tennis game, or my love life. Whatever. Eventually, when faced with enormous cravings, these excuses didn't hold up to the power of nicotine. What this book does is give you 1440 reasons to quit, not just one or two reasons. Now, when I get a really bad craving where I think I'm going to bust, I just pick up 1440 Reasons To Quit Smoking and I realize what a dangerous and stupid habit it is. Now, if I was to ever decide to smoke again, it would just be suicide pure and simple. Also, go to quitnet.net, the best website in the world if you want to stop smoking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Well.....okay, February 13, 2003

By	D. Villarreal "dvmarie" (Texas) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It delivered what it said it would - 1,440 reasons to quit. Not all of them inspired though ... It's a small book too - the type is also small. I didn't think it was worth the money spent. You could find more inspiration online or from sections of more meaty books like Complete Idiots Guide to Quitting. After getting through the first few pages I was like "Dang! - I could do a more imaginative job myself" (and I'm a crummy writer) :-) But hey, if you want to send a message to a smoking friend .... this is a positive and non-confrontational way to do it....would make a good stocking stuffer too (it's that small...)
