Coed stop-smoking programs just won't work, according to Embree, because "smoking is not the same addiction in women as it is in men." Embree, an ex-smoker and therapist who has developed a program just for women, explains why women become addicted and delineates a plan for quitting, avoiding weight gain, and retraining one's subconscious. Exercising, healthy eating, and journal writing are among the suggestions for maintaining a no-smoking regime. Denise Perry Donavin
Review
Women are different from men. A woman's addiction to nicotine is generally much more severe than a man's, while the danger to her from smoking is even greater. Even if they could quit smoking, many women won't because they're afraid of gaining weight. A Woman's Way: The Stop-Smoking Book for Women is a stop-smoking plan created specifically for women, written by an expert who is a woman and an ex-smoker. A Woman's Way presents a tested and proven plan which is not a will-power method (which is painful and usually unsuccessful), instead it teaches women smokers to reprogram their minds to stop craving cigarettes. Female smokers learn to replace their addiction with something better through relaxation and visualization techniques along with a diet and exercise program. A Woman's Way is the perfect gift for the mother or wife, sister or daughter who can't quit on her own. A Woman's Way deserves to be on the lending shelf of every medical center and community library in the country! -- Midwest Book Review
