intelligent advice on quitting smoking
this book is dated now. it would be nice if there was an updated version with the advent of patches now in use.
i found some of the statistics very illuminating and provided me with a strategy on quitting smoking which i am attempting to implement. for instance only half of all people who stopped smoking did so cold turkey. the other half had a well thought out plan of gradual cessation. which makes sense to me. we did not become smokers overnight so it's logical that we don't become non-smokers overnight.
there is a useful appendix on the brands of cigarettes and their tar and nicotine level to guide you to weaning you off nicotine if you prefer to attempt to quit that way.
at the price this book sells for it is a good value in my opinion

The No-Nag, No-Guilt, Do-It-Your-Own Way Guide to Quitting S
This book is an excellent guide for anyone thinking about cutting down or quitting smoking. It was THE most important thing I read before I quit smoking. Haven't had a cigarette since July 3, 1989!

Helped me prepare, then reduce, then quit, smoking 4 yrs ago
I wanted to smoke less, not necessarily quit.The book is realistic and practical.The only thing it isn't:magic.It still wasn't easy.Now I have quit entirely. ... Read more

Are you addicted to Nicotine?

Have you attended a smoking cessation program that gave you a good education on tobacco and focused on the cigarette?

It's time to try a very different approach to smoking cessation. 'I Don't Smoke!' is about a proven plan that focuses on you—not the nicotine. It's an approach that looks at quitting as a joyous adventure. After all, you're going to be free of a serious addiction—it's like overthrowing a dictator.

If you are one of the 47.7 million adult smokers in the United States, chances are you have wanted to—and have tried to—quit smoking. Eighty percent of adult smokers want to quit completely, according to a survey by Gallup and the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But the nicotine in cigarettes is an addictive drug that can make quitting difficult . . . but not impossible. Now from Dr. Joseph Cruse, founding medical director of the Betty Ford Center, comes a program that applies addiction recovery techniques and includes the importance of feelings and increased self-worth. If you want to quit smoking, you can laugh and feel good while you are freeing yourself from your addiction. Using powerful and positive affirmations, retraining your brain, and calling in a virtual army of support from others, this program makes smoking cessation a lifechanging and joyous adventure!

There are millions of former smokers who have recovered from their addiction to nicotine. Millions who can now boast, 'I don't smoke!'—and mean it. Take the first step and join them today.

Good read
I can't say this book helped me quit -- I did that twice. No cigs for the past 30+ years, after a 2-3 pack/day habit.
But I can say I learned a lot about cigarettes and women, and that's a Good Thing. Especially the women part.

An excellent resource
As an RN and a recovering smoker I am always interested in material on how to quite the habit. It has been my experience that most of the "How to Quit" material is sadly lacking. This is not, however, true with Cynthia Pomerleau's fine little book "Life After Cigarettes".

The main thing that sets this book apart from the others is the author's willingness to talk about the elephant in the living room; cigarettes are an effective method of weight control.The weight gain that follows quitting is a major factor in the high remission rate of quitters. This is especially difficult for females in this culture of hyper body awareness.

Dr. Pomerleau outlines a total program of diet, exercise and medication that are the tools for the lifestyle changes that are the basis for changing any major dependency. But most of all she provides insight into the process of going from being a smoker to being a non smoker.

The book includes an extensive section of additional reading and resources.

Overall this is a wonderful asset for the woman who wants to quit smoking and contains enough good general material to be of help to a male reader as well. I would recommend this to any smoker and especially to the women who smoke.

A quit-smoking companion
This book is sensational!!I have never been happier to purchase a book that is so informative, has research to back its findings, and is written by a woman for women.It addresses our biggest fears about giving up that old friend cigarettes.I have recommended this book to many women who truly fear gaining weight and truly want to quit smoking.It is an invaluable resource for me.Thanks, Amazon, for letting me know it was available and for shipping it so expediently.

Written for Women by a Woman Who Knows Her Stuff!
Life after Cigarettes is aimed at women: why they smoke, why they should join the non-smoker trend, and how to do it for good.Here's my take on this book.

PROS:

1. Author, Cynthia Pomerleau, has created a short book, meaning it's not stuffed with fillers.She gets to the heart of the matter right away, and you can read the entire book in just a couple of hours.

2.Everyone's heard (over and over) of the dangers of smoking, but Pomerleau goes a step farther and focuses on the vanity reasons why women should stop smoking.For example, did you know that smokers typically have a larger waistline to hip ratio than non-smokers?Pomerleau shares plenty of new information, and she has the credentials needed to do it.

3.Although the book is geared toward women, there are many aspects that will be helpful and motivating for men. For example, they may not have as much difficulty with weight gain after quitting as women, but it's still a problem for quitters.Pomerleau offers practical solutions to deal with this problem.And don't forget -- men respond to vanity issues, especially in this troubled economy.

4.The book is packed with additional resources, so you won't have to go far to find the support you need to get through the process of quitting.

CONS:

I found no fault in this book, easy and quick to read, full of the latest information, and packed with additional resources.

I highly recommend Life after Cigarettes.
