Why do some ex-smokers suffer from withdrawal symptoms even years after their bodies are free of nicotine? Why do some people stop smoking without suffering, when others go through agony? These are the questions smokers should ask themselves if they want to give up - they form the basis for the simple method contained within. This text explains in accessible language what happens when you smoke that first cigarette. It examines the psychological and chemical processes the body undergoes and what can be done to master them.

the holy grail,
This review is from: The Nicotine Trick: The Totally New Way to Stop Smoking (Paperback)
I am shocked to find only one review of this book.I was a smoker of 40 years standing and a fully paid up ADDICT and expert at giving up smoking (and failing).The way this book looks at addiction(or lack of) is the trick and one that worked for me and required the bare minimum of will power (thankfully 'cause i didn't have much).
I succeeded beyond my wildest dreams---i know just because it worked for me does not guarrantee it will work for everyone----but it is not expensive and it truly is a NEW WAY OF QUITTING and worth the price of the book.

This review is from: The Nicotine Trick: The Totally New Way to Stop Smoking (Paperback)
A fellow hypnotist recommended this book because it takes an interesting view of smoking and smoking cessation, and I must admit that those insights have helped me in my practice.
The problem I have with this book is that the author rags on hypnosis, saying that it's a waste of money. He later writes that he won't be using hypnosis to help people quit smoking, because it's not needed. The truth is, he uses hypnotic techniques throughout the book. It's a masterpiece of building expectation and applying metaphor. His approach culminates with directing the reader through a series of visualizations that use metaphor and future pacing to communicate the message to the unconscious mind--that's self-hypnosis, plain and simple. Perhaps Casey doesn't realize what he's doing, or perhaps he's trying to avoid the wrongful stigma that hypnosis carries with the uninformed. In any case, he's proven Hazlerig's Law once again: "The more someone rails against hypnosis, the greater the chance that they're using it." That said, the book does contain methods that are effective in helping some smokers to quit.
