^ The books explains to you that "replacing" the habit and "trying" to quit isn't the most affect approach and why the most common ways to quit have high relapse rates. Cutting down/will power is ineffective because from the start "cutting down" and "will power" makes you feel like you are making sacrifice of something you need. But the fact is smoking has no positive affects and there really is no reason for a smoker to smoke no matter how many excuses and lies you tell yourself.

He encourages you to smoke while you are reading the book because he breaks down the cravings you have and that you, again, gain absolutely nothing from satisfying that craving by having a cigarette. But he breaks it down in a way that when you want a smoke you realize how retarded it is and in the end you just stop.
