| Stop Smoking Tips:
Finally, why don't we make
the "hassle" of quitting a different experience.
Chances are that we have already tried quitting several times, but
when someone said: please "quit" we thought it was a four-letter
word. There must be a better way to succeed. If so many people could
change their habits, and leave their addiction behind, why can't
we? What are we missing? Let's get the tools, learn from their success,
and think of the benefits we would get. In "The Smokeless Side"
book we would get additional support, and the tools that work. Of
course there are cartoons in the book to make our journey for change
a lighter experience. (No this book is not "The Far Side"
it is "The Smokeless Side".) Let us share this book also
with the kids in our family, and discuss it with them. We all deserve
to know better… Learning can be fun.
Please see bellow how links, graphics and
animations compelled me to design the following web pages: 1,

4, 5

is different from the book, but the cartoons are from "The
Smokeless Side". - see

. "This
is a great book, our patients love it! We think it is a useful stop smoking
tool."
Pat Harris nicotine dependence and substance abuse counselor
Yale University New Haven, Connecticut
. "I
found [your book] extremely entertaining and wonderful to read… Working
with humor you produced such a wonderful book that I believe, would be
extremely helpful to many people who are ambivalent and struggling with
the decision to get rid of the habit of smoking."
Moshe S. Torem, M.D. Professor and Chairman Department
of Psychiatry Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine, Akron,
Ohio
. "I
greatly enjoyed your book ‘The Smokeless Side’ and I would recommend it
for everyone."
Ernest L.
Rossi, Ph.D. Psychotherapist Private Practice, Malibu, California
author of 19 books on psychology (many of them translated to several languages)
. "The
Smokeless Side" is a wonderful gentle and non-threatening way to
move the smoker who is contemplating quitting into the next stage of action.
The humor allows one to consider the risks of smoking objectively. As
a former teacher I can see that this would be a very good book for parents
to share with their adolescent children.
Carol Eggers, RN, MSN, Nurse Practitioner, APT Foundation,
Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut
. "This
is a delightful book that will motivate some people. A creative and compelling
project!! Good work."
Robert S. Abernethy III, M.D. Massachusetts General Hospital,
and Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts
. «"The
Smokeless Side" is an excellent motivational book to quit smoking.
I can also strongly recommend it for smoking prevention. It is fun to
read.»
Bernard Favrat, M.D. Internal Medicine, Lausanne, Switzerland
