4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative and Philosophical, December 16, 2001

This review is from: Nic-the Habit: Cigarette Smoking Kills.Com (Paperback)

I have tried to quit smoking many times, but I always went back to smoking when times got rough. This book helped me deal with the tough times: I really enjoyed the Chapters on spirituality: Free will, Non Judgment, The message and the two chapters on meditation. I was horrified reading about all the chemicals and toxins and the second-hand smoke research within the book. The book makes a lot of sense about going inward to quit smoking. For those who have had a difficult time with quitting, going inward has helped me and gave me strength to deal with my addiction and realize that I have the power to say no.. It sounds simple, and it is. The book is a bit harsh at times, but all and all I has helped me not want to go back to smoking.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't fulfil any of its promises, April 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Nic-the Habit: Cigarette Smoking Kills.Com (Paperback)

This book is just rubbish, in my opinion. It's full of typos. It's written in barely readable English. It just waffles on. It does have a little bit of useful content, but from the reviews you'd think it was terrific, and I promise you, it absolutely is not.

This review is from: Nic-the Habit: Cigarette Smoking Kills.Com (Paperback)

This book helped me quit smoking and also got be to go back to the gym. I lost 30 pounds in one month. The book gave me back my life. The book has some assignments that are necessary to re-examine yourself and realize just how destructive cigarettes are to your whole spirit. This book is more than a smoking cessation book, it is about the author's journeys to quit smoking, along with his life and him finding himself in Nepal. His lessons learned are shared with the reader to help them also quit. I am an Executive in Stocks and I am a type A personality and this book has helped me to relax and take 10 minutes a day to myself to just relax and be silent within. I also got the hypnotic CD from cigarettesmokingkills.com to help with meditation and relaxation. This book is Perfect for anyone who wants to quit smoking or for a friend or family member who needs to quit!
