YOU ARE NOT TOO OLD TO QUIT SMOKING!
Tobacco Free After 50 reveals how older smokers who kick the habit possess remarkable healing capabilities, a resilience, even after 30 or more years of smoking.
Yes, older smokers DO bounce back from a broad array of tobacco-related conditions!
Indeed, smokers of all ages need to quit and anyone trying to recover from this addiction is fighting for his or her life. Richard Delano and Krista Schaafsma's innovative smoking cessation book is designed to help older smokers break free from the addictive drug nicotine and to plan their quit.
According to author Delano, a former 30+ year smoker and his co-author, Schaafsma, cigarette smokers tend to convince themselves that they are just caught up in a nasty habit; they refuse to believe they are addicts. Those over 50 often believe there is no worth in quitting. Although tobacco users generally do not view themselves as drug abusers, the reality is this: smokers have an addiction and tend to remain in denial about confronting their problem. Tobacco Free after 50 uses personal success stories from twelve charismatic former smokers as well as additional insight by twelve experts who expose the complexities of nicotine, its crippling effect on the brain, and its ultimate devastating effect on the lungs. Because nicotine distorts the brain's natural functions, the onset of withdrawal causes a painful process which is the chief cause of relapse or continuing the habit. Tobacco Free After 50 explores the insidious process of nicotine and demonstrates how! it is not too late to quit by assisting dedicated readers to troubleshoot their crisis and design their individualized Tobacco Free Action Plan.
Some facts about older smokers:
-- Over 13 million Americans aged 50 and over are currently smokers, accounting for over 27 percent of all adult smokers in the United States.
-- This number will grow as Baby Boomers with high smoking rates reach 50.
-- Older smokers make fewer attempts than younger smokers to quit, but are more successful when they do.
-- Older smokers do not try to quit as often because many do not believe that quitting will improve their health and well being. In fact, the bodies of older smokers possess remarkable healing capabilities and the ability to bounce back even after 30 or more years of smoking.
Although this book specifically cites the special stories and experiences from those in the mature market, Tobacco Free After 50 creates a cessation plan that is fit for everyone of all ages. It allows smokers to choose which quit method works best for them whether it's joining a personal support group or selecting medications that may help offset the nicotine cravings.
The testimonials from older smokers on how their habits got started, how they learned to hide their smoking and sneak cigarettes from others while attempting to quit, exposes the personal humiliation and difficulty behind kicking the habit.
Tobacco Free After 50 invites readers into the private lives of ex-smokers and reveals the paths they have taken to strip themselves of their addiction and to demonstrate their eventual humble yet mighty success to stop smoking for good.
