Although I don't personally smoke, three of my co-workers do and they've created a pact to quit smoking, and I am SO TIRED of listening to their constant complaining all the time about how hard it is to quit. I don't know if this book will help them or not, but I bought each of them a copy, and hopefully the personal stories will both help them to quit and give me some PEACE and QUIET around the office. Sheesh!
