"How cigarettes keep you addicted and how to make your next cigarette your last. Only five percent of smokers are able to quit the first time they try. This has less to do with willpower and much more to do with nicotine's addictive properties and ability to make smokers feel so good (even if only momentarily). Ex-smoker Andreas Jopp provides exactly what it takes to kick the habit: precise explanations of the thought patterns that keep millions of smokers from quitting and exactly the guidance and support they need to succeed. Every single smoker is different, and therefore everyone's quitting strategy will be unique. Jopp addresses common fears about quitting and combats them with authoritative, up-to-date research and expert opinion"--Provided by publisher.
