Description
Smoking is easily the commonest avoidable cause of illness and death world-wide. Many people who try to stop fail and remain addicted. Many others never try and unwittingly or otherwise have their lives shortened, sometimes dramatically. Many self-help guides to stop smoking exist and some claim high success rates but the reality of stopping smoking is that it is very difficult for most people. Most of these guides avoid or are very light on the need to properly inform the smoker, which is a key part of successfully stopping. The NetDoctor stop smoking guide comes from several different angles as no one approach has been found better than another: Proper information gives the smoker adequate reason to stop -- a key part of stopping successfully The book draws on the experience of the thousands of people who have used the NetDoctor web-based support service to stop smoking over the past two years
