Product Description

This evocative little volume -- the size of a pack of cigarettes -- packs a remarkably powerful message. The author, a former pack-a-day smoker for 20 years, presents a succinct program to help people kick the habit. His technique is simple, based on a few distinct steps: Determine why to quit smoking, rank each cigarette smoked for its importance to your lifestyle, gradually reduce the number of cigarettes smoked, quit, and finally guard against a resumption of smoking.

About the Author

Charles Wetherall recognised that millions of smokers ignore government health warnings and the ordinary "how-to-quit" books. These are the smokers who would not take the initiative to buy a book and probably wouldn't read one even if it were given to them! Not only is Wetherall's system proven to be effective, but its unique pack-sized format guarantees that this book will be read!

5.0 out of 5 stars It worked!, October 13, 2008

This review is from: Quit: Read This Book and Stop Smoking (Running Press Miniature Editions) (Hardcover)

I smoked 2-3 packs a day of menthols and tried the pills and hypnosis but neither worked. Read this book in less then 2 hours and haven't smoked since! That was over 7 years now and saved thousands of dollars not to mention smelling like a dirty ashtray. Please try this book before you blow money on useless treatments like I did. Good luck!

I used this book years ago to quit smoking (successfully now, for 20+ years). Besides the very good advice about how to quit smoking, I especially like the pages in the back where you list your reasons for quitting. You can use this technique for quitting anything, so this book is very handy as a diet book if you want to lose weight. Just keep going back to your list of reasons for losing weight, e.g. health, blood pressure, get into small size jeans, etc. , and you will find it easier to modify your behaviour. The book is small enough to carry in your pocket, like a pack of cigs. Keep re-reading page 109, and your list of reasons, and it will help you quit any bad habits you truly want to change.
