I recently (over two months ago) decided I was going to quit smoking as well. I got a prescription for chantix and started taking it. My quit date was approaching and I realized the chantix wasn't helping as much as I thought it should. I talked to a friend about this, and she told me about the book that she read to help her quit smoking. Figuring I needed more help to quit, I bought the book. I finished it in less than a day, forcing myself to read it all on my "quit date." After reading the book, I took two more chantix pills and realized I didn't need it anymore. I have since been completely smoke free. I passed the book onto my roommate. He finished the book in two days and has been smokefree. I gave the book to my mom and she has been smokefree for over a month. My sister bought the book (she lives a few hours away) and quit smoking as well. The original friend of mine quit smoking and has been that way for over 6 years. I have three other friends who recently quit smoking as well.
I completely doubted the ability of this book when I first heard about it, but without a doubt is the only thing that has ever helped me quit smoking. The name of the book (and the best $15 you will ever spend) is:
The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. His website (which has a testimonial by Ashton Kutchner) is
http://www.theeasywaytostopsmoking.com/
My biggest advice to anyone reading the book is to follow the directions he outlines.
