Incredible! July 12, 2008
I have to admit the title of this book had me a bit skeptical when I began reading it. My 30 year habit progressed to a pack and a half to sometimes two packs a day. I've tried everything over the years to quit and even had managed to get two and a half smoke free years under my belt before I picked up that nasty cigarette again. Even after 2 1/2 years it still had a grip on me. This book was recommended to me and I figured that it couldn't hurt. Not being much of a reader I found this an amazingly quick read. My advice is to read it from cover to cover with an opened mind and you too will be a non-smoker. It was the easiest thing I've ever had to give up! Unbelievably easy!
Nicotine free for over a year! July 12, 2008
I had been wanting to quit smoking for a long long time. Like many people, I tried Zyban, the patch and the gum. I tried the "help group" stuff that they talk about in the patch and gum supplements... Nothing worked, of course. I read this book and quit cold turkey- And it was easy. Health departments and doctors should use this book instead of automatically getting out the prescription pad.
Take the power back smokers June 29, 2008
I was a pack a day smoker for 20 years, compulsively it was probably the most important thing to my sanity. I use to quit every other month and make everyone nuts, until Carl's book helped me break the brainwashing. Just remember you can never convince yourself to have just one. Non smokers don't occasionally pick up a smoke for any reason.

I tried many methods to stop smoking--cutting down, nicotine replacement, hypnotism, an on-line stop smoking program, and several convolutions and combinations of my own device. Nothing worked until this book. And even with the book--the first time I read it, I quit just for a day, and then was right back to smoking! But, I knew the book was right, and a couple of weeks later, I got back with it (didn't even have to re-read the book), and quit for good. I had forgotten how good it feels to NOT smoke. Each breath of air refreshes me, I am much more active, I don't stink, my teeth and mouth are clean, and my woman is all over me.
So--what's in the book?
You get a convincing rebuttal of every reason you can think of to smoke a cigarette--even one more cigarette.
You come to understand the subtle but powerful brainwashing that is associated with nicotine addiction.
You get a good deal of information on the nature of nicotine addiction, why nicotine replacement therapy (gums and patches) are so ineffective, and why the physical addiction is not nearly so hard to overcome as the psychological addiction (the triggers that make you want to smoke). And you get a lot of help in dealing with those triggers.
It's still not easy to quit; for me, dealing with my "triggers" was quite a job, and there were many times in my workday when I would get stressed by a work conundrum and want to reach for a smoke, as I had been doing for years. But I learned to deal with it, and am a better person for it. This book has helped me beyond stopping smoking. It has helped me to deal with stress in general.
This book is a life-changer. Best money I have invested on anything in my lifetime.

I am so happy for all of the people who read this book and find success. I knew that quitting smoking was not going to be easy, but after reading this book and other reviews, I thought I wouldn't have much problem handling it. I have been reading it again. This is NOT easy (for me). I think his book is wonderful because he understands the addiction and is not preachy, he's like a supportive friend. I will say he has given me a new perspective, and I think that many people can benefit from this but do not go into it thinking it's not going to take some work.
