Description

I'M TOO STRESSED TO STOP.
I'LL GAIN WEIGHT IF I QUIT.
I'VE TRIED AND FAILED TOO MANY TIMES TO COUNT.


Why are you still smoking, even though you want to quit? Based on twenty years of research and hands-on work with countless smokers in his clinics at Columbia University and New York Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Daniel F. Seidman understands that people smoke -- and quit -- for different reasons and what works for one smoker might not work for another.


Are you a Situational Smoker? Monitoring your reactions in different situations is a step toward permanently losing interest in cigarettes.

Are you a Worried-about-Weight Smoker? Properly using treatments like Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) can help you quit and get healthy in all aspects of your life.

Are you an Emotion-Triggered Smoker? Scheduling your smoking breaks and sticking to a rigid "smoking schedule" helps break the link between stressful situations and craving cigarettes.


In a comprehensive, 30-day program, Dr. Seidman explains how to retrain your brain, take advantage of all the tools at your disposal, and end the month smoke-free and feeling stronger than ever!

How did you come to write this book?

On November 30, 2007 I received an email from Mehmet Oz, a colleague at Columbia University telling me: “I am working on an Oprah show to smokeout America”. I began to work with him and Michael F. Roizen, M.D. of the Cleveland Clinic on what I realized was a tremendous opportunity to help smokers: an entire Oprah show on helping smokers quit!. This book, in part, grows out of the spirit of Mehmet and Mike’s approach to health and the public: to present medical and human problems in all their complexity but to do it in understandable terms which can benefit large numbers of people. This is a tough balance but a crucial and worthwhile endeavor. Great thanks to Mehmet and Mike as well as J. Lee Westmaas, Ph.D. of the American Cancer Society for their unfailingly generous and helpful suggestions and comments which have been inspirational to me in editing the program presented in this book.
