Very Technical and Statistical - not Heartfelt
I read the first half of this book, and was dying to stop reading. It was scientific and statistical, but I could not use that to quit. What I really needed, was Chapter 1 - OK here's an overview of how to quit . . . clear details to follow in subesequent chapters.

The tobacco industry conspires to keep us smoking.
The tobacco industry has conspired for years to make tobacco more and more addictive. Ms. Brigham has given clear examples of this in her new book.

Easy-to-read information on why it's so hard to stop smoking
Dr. Brigham has done an excellent job of explaining the grip which tobacco has on persons who use it. Her information is very matter-of-fact, when suddenly she drops in a dose of humor which makes the book very enjoyable. The many charts are also very informative -- when shown to my friends, they encouraged them to read the book.Anybody who knows and cares about the health of a user of tobacco should read this book. Also, tobacco users themselves should read it to learn more about why they smoke or chew.
