Why do we smoke? That’s simple, we smoke because we get rewards from it; it relaxes us when we are stressed, it perks us up when we are down, it’s a social thing we can do with friends. Those are our rewards. Now here is the price we pay for rewards: Nicotine sucks the nitric oxide in our body causing face wrinkles, it destroys our arteries, it affects our kidneys, liver, brain, fertility, and sexuality. It is more addictive than heroin, and as toxic as cyanide. Plus we must inhale the smoke to get nicotine into our lungs and cigarette smoke is full of chemicals which cause cancer and tar which coats the membranes of our lungs causing COPD. The above was the reason for this book, documenting what Steve, a healthy, strong, hammer-swinging carpenter went through from the day that he discovered he had lung cancer from smoking, to the day he died two and a half years later. Readers become aware that lung cancer is not like a heart attack where you clutch your chest, fall down, and BAM you’re gone. No, lung cancer brags: “OK, you’ve had your fun smoking for 5, 10, 15, 20 years, now it’s my turn and I’m going to love watching you suffer while I am torturing you to death.” The majority of smokers who read this book, quit. Those who have considered taking that first puff decide not to, fulfilling the goal of the book “Leading to a Smoke-Free Life.”

A MUST have for every family bookcase,

This review is from: Leading To A Smoke-Free Life, Steve, A Father's Diary: The Ultimate Stop Smoking Book, Quit Smoking Now And Never Smoke Again (Paperback)
Gabriel Roy has excelled himself with this no holds barred informative and true account of the perils of nicotine, in this case describing in detail the emotions and agony that he and especially his son Steve underwent.
Inspiritional yes, courageous yes, but in my opinion this wonderfully written book is a tool that can be used as a priceless life saving aid to stop smoking no matter how far down the road the smoker has travelled, and also as a preventive measure at an early easily influenced stage in a person's valuable existence on earth. Hand this book to a teenager and I can guarantee they won't then allow their health and future happiness to go up in a ridiculously expensive and nonsensical puff of smoke. Well done Mr.Roy on providing such a beneficial book under what must have been tough circumstances. Thanks to you, out of your sadness, driven determination and willpower there will be a longer and healthier future for many people. A definite must have for every bookshelf! Keith A. Steadman, author of The Bipolar Expeditionist. The Bipolar Expeditionist
