Easy-to-read information on why it's so hard to stop smoking
Dr. Brigham has done an excellent job of explaining the grip which tobacco has on persons who use it. Her information is very matter-of-fact, when suddenly she drops in a dose of humor which makes the book very enjoyable.

Very Technical and Statistical - not Heartfelt
I read the first half of this book, and was dying to stop reading. It was scientific and statistical, but I could not use that to quit. What I really needed, was Chapter 1 - OK here's an overview of how to quit . . . clear details to follow in subesequent chapters.

Easy-to-read information on why it's so hard to stop smoking,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dying to Quit: Why We Smoke and How We Stop (Hardcover)
Dr. Brigham has done an excellent job of explaining the grip which tobacco has on persons who use it. Her information is very matter-of-fact, when suddenly she drops in a dose of humor which makes the book very enjoyable. The many charts are also very informative -- when shown to my friends, they encouraged them to read the book.Anybody who knows and cares about the health of a user of tobacco should read this book. Also, tobacco users themselves should read it to learn more about why they smoke or chew.

Now I understand why it was so hard for me to quit smoking!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dying to Quit: Why We Smoke and How We Stop (Hardcover)
"Dying to Quit" really helped me understand why quitting smoking is so difficult--and why I gained 40 pounds in the process. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is trying to quit smoking and to anyone who has ever smoked. It is easy to understand and relate to. After reading "Dying to Quit", I'm sure glad that I was finally able to kick the habit before it "kicked" me!

Fascinating commentary on what nicotine can do.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dying to Quit: Why We Smoke and How We Stop (Hardcover)
Dr. Brigham's coverage of the impact of nicotine on the human body is thorough and interesting. She is an engaging writer and has interweaved a captivating account of a typical smoker. This book very much like Carson's "Silent Spring" for the smoking world.

By A Customer
This review is from: Dying to Quit: Why We Smoke and How We Stop (Hardcover)
The tobacco industry has conspired for years to make tobacco more and more addictive. Ms. Brigham has given clear examples of this in her new book.
