wow soups, youve impressed me
for those who think that it may be too hard for them to quit smoking, give the book a try (havent read it) but also consider the nicotine replacement therapies if you think going cold turkey will cause you too much anxiety
now for those who have tried it and claim that it doesnt work, id probably say that you may not have been ready to quit in the first place.
if you are considering using the patches/gum/inhaler, have a chat to your gp (hoping that he/she has any common sense) and plan it out. like with business, "people dont plan to fail, they fail to plan"
combination therapy (i.e. wearing patch, and then chewing gum when the urge is too great) is a good way to step down from addiction, but it has to be a serious attempt. even though they say you get over the withdrawl in the first few days, the nicotine receptors in your brain are still active for up to 8 weeks (im pretty sure) so thats why they recommend the program last for 8 weeks. also, from speaking to drug reps on the matter, they also recommend that even if your a 10 a day smoker, start on the strongest patch/gum and stay on it for the same length of time a heavy smoker does
all the NRT's only release about a third of what you get from a normal cigarette and are released much slower (20 minutes compared to 7 seconds) so therefore removing the "reward" you get from sucking down a fag.
the reason why i am arking on about this is that youve got a better chance of quitting if you use the NRT's properly and possibly overcome thoughts about failure last time round you tried to quit
my name is dr phil, and this is my dot com

I've heard the exact same story from someone in our office- she was a heavy smoker for 20 years or so, tried all sorts of ways to quit and couldn't til she read this book. She has not touched a cigarette since, so yeah, if you're serious about quitting, I'd say this is the way to go.
