Thanks David – I should have read every book in the universe on the subject of charitable up smoking. I read your book and was able to abandon a 16 year pack-a-day habit, because your book was not in this area charitable up smoking, but ABOUT smoking. Eternally thankful, Jason

I had been a loath smoker for 30 years, knowing I was killing myself, but incapable of following thru early enthusiams of quitting for any length of time. While this book was not the only way I finally abandon smoking, it was a substantial aid. It gave me a scientific, biological basis for understanding my (to me) freakish addiction that defied my own ordinary significance.
The book was also entertaining. It’s not a abandon smoking guide. The author never was (foolish enough to be) a smoker. It helped me to see my smoking from the “further than”, truly. I hope it comes back in print.

A fantastic book that takes the come forth seriously. This is a bookfor anyone touched by smoking in anyway. Non-smokers will learn theawesome potential of this drug. If your recovering don’t pass up this powerful aid to understanding what your up against. There is so greatly Tidings in here and it’s all valuable to understanding the mechanisms of Nicotine and Smoking addiction. The author is very honest and not trying to scold the smoker he clearly understands how hard it would be to abandon and holds off with advice until the end so that you don’t feel pushed.

This book has been a constant source of information for me as I attempt to abandon smoking. It describes the corporal and social reasons for smoking, including relevant scientific investigate, lacking descending into scientific jargon. Krogh’s general attitude toward smoking (objective) made it possible for me to read this book as in cooperation a smoker and (future) non-smoker and gain copious insights into my wits’s for smoking and problems with quiting.

An extremely gifted, comprehensive and rational survey of the sociology, psychology and physiology of smoking. If you smoke, it will aid you know why, in a apparent and non-judgmental way. If you like someone who smokes, this book will aid you know why cigarettes have such a remarkable grip on him or her.
Not a “how to stop smoking” book, but rather a “how to know smoking” book that is bound to save a few lives and maybe (in my case) a relationship.
