I am a smoker of 25 years and I can very much relate to the author of this book. I remember as a young kid all the kids around me that would offer them and the peer pressure was just unbelievable. Of course not all of us are peer pressured. Some of us just pick it up from parents or they see others doing it so they think it's cool. I have several times told myself that come morning I will start a new day fresh, that I wouldn’t buy that next pack. Boy was I wrong. I would wake the next day only to find myself at the counter of a gas station buying the next pack. I have struggled to find a way to quit. I have never had a family member pass due to smoking or anything related to smoking and I am sure if I had. It would make a difference on how I look at smoking. Also I never really understood all the effects and withdraw symptoms that were associated with trying to quit. I'm sure this is why a lot of people run straight back to them. When I started to read this book I instantly thought to myself that this might be a waste of time but as I continued to read I found that this book could be what helps me make my big break from them. One of the author's ideas could be the change I need to take that leap and make difference in my health. The author gives details on how she tried to stop and how it didn’t work for her. The book gives me more insight on things I could be trying that will help me reach my goal and information on why it may or may not work for me. I am very excited to put some of her idea's to work and see what one works for me.  This is a must read book for any smoker. Any one of the things the author tried on her journey may be the one that works for you
