Customer Reviews

I really got a kick out of this book.

This book is funny. I got started on it and found it very amusing and could hardly put in down.

3 years in April

As a nurse, I had tried many methods to quit. While reading this book, I put a checkmark next to the reasons that I could relate to. I then typed all of those reasons over, "brainwashing" myself to some degree. For example, the next time I thought I deserved a cigarette to celebrate I remembered a reason... there are other ways to reward yourself besides putting your mouth on a tailpipe. It is so true, I went to Starbucks and still saved money!!! Please give this book a try.

SMOKERS AND EX-SMOKERS MUST BUY THIS BOOK

This book got me to quit. I've tried quitting a hundred times. I smoked for 24 years since I was 14 years old and have never gone more than 2 months without a cigarette until now. I've been quit for 3 months as of today and I'm nowhere close to going back; I'm done with this disgusting habit. I've used a million different strategies to quit and I always went back to smoking...until I bought this book. Whenever I tried to quit before I would have a reason to quit that I thought would work. For example, I would quit because of my health, or my tennis game, or my love life. Whatever. Eventually, when faced with enormous cravings, these excuses didn't hold up to the power of nicotine. What this book does is give you 1440 reasons to quit, not just one or two reasons. Now, when I get a really bad craving where I think I'm going to bust, I just pick up 1440 Reasons To Quit Smoking and I realize what a dangerous and stupid habit it is. Now, if I was to ever decide to smoke again, it would just be suicide pure and simple. Also, go to quitnet.net, the best website in the world if you want to stop smoking.

It Helped Me

I picked up Dodds' book a week into my quit. It was a blessing to have in my hands as I persevered. Dodd has accumulated into one place some of the best reasons for quitting and staying quit. I added my own reasons, wrote in a few motivational quotes, and highlighted my favorite Dodd reasons--when I want to smoke, I pull the book out and it provides me with a ready-made-source for quitticisms (solid reasons for not smoking). I realized that I need my addict thinking to change: I needed a brain washing in terms of how I thought about smoking, and this little book was a tool I used to begin the washing process.

Surprisingly helpful

Of course, a book can't make you want to quit smoking. But, it can remind you of the reasons and even provide some new ones.Not all of the reasons in this book will work for every person. But, if one doesn't apply to you, some of the other 1,439 will. Some are funny: "Climbing the walls is aerobic exercise." Others focus on health, smell, expense, perserverance and pride.Carry this book in your pocket or purse (it's small enough). Highlight favorite or especially meaningful statements and flip to them in times of need. Good luck!
