Stop Smoking

by Clive Hopwood and Peter Cross

Published 23 December 2005
"Stop Smoking" isn't like other books out there on the market. Addicts know the risks they take every time they inhale. They hear all the negative publicity and government warnings too. They may be smokers but they aren't stupid. What they want is tried and tested methods to help them stop. That's where Peter and Clive come in. In "Stop Smoking" they reveal: how to stop the chain reaction ("well I've had one so why not two..."); how to step out of the comfort zone; the point of needles - how acupuncture can help; whether patches, gum and nicotine replacement therapies really work; why keeping super busy keeps the addict at bay; hints on how to de-stress your life after you've given up. With the "52 Brilliant Ideas" series readers can enhance their existing skills with negligible investment of time or money and will substantially improve their performance over the course of a year. Each of the 52 chapters tackles a single aspect of the subject in an entertaining and lively way. At the end of each chapter is a "how did it go?" feature which allows readers to reflect on the lesson in a classical experiential learning pattern.
The tone of each book is personal and informal; readers will feel as thought they are having a one-to-one with their favourite coach.
