Review: A powerful short guide

Although this book is not lengthy, it does contain some very powerful information to help someone quit smoking.It covers both the physical and behavioral sides of cigarette addiction.There are pretty much too ways to quit smoking: gradual reduction or immediate stop (cold turkey).  At first, I thought this book was going to the gradual approach because, in chapter one it says "You should not – at this point – throw away your cigarettes, hide your ashtrays or give your lighters to your friends or neighbors."  But actually this book is a cold turkey solution, beginning with Chapter 5, talking you through the first 5 days.I believe the method in this book will work.  I quit smoking 16 years ago by different means but I can see how everything in this guide is relevant to a person quitting.  I would also encourage any one that smokes to find a way to quit, my mother quit only after the second time COPD complications put her in the hospital.The one thing I feel that is missing is this book is covering a relapse.  For many, just lighting up one last time is all it takes to derail their plans to quit.Also, due to the brevity of this book, I would encourage Howard to create an audio version of this book.
