i started smoking around 4-5 years ago? probably averaged 10 a day..
the guy does say some useless things and repeats himself a lot, but most of the stuff he says does make sense.
hardest part is not quitting, the hardest part is convincing yourself that you're better off without cigarettes.
it's been pretty much a full day and haven't touched a smoke. threw away my half full pack and lighters. was not used to not smoking after meals.. but i just remember what the book tells you:
don't kid yourself, there's no such thing as just one. that one will just lead to a lifetime of smoking again, guaranteed.
worked well for the first day i'd say

On the road to quitting, just think about the hundreds of dollars you save, and all that could be used to go to something a lot better !

i've tried e-cigarettes when they first came out. maybe they got better or something but when i tried them they didn't help or helped very temporarily. reason being the nicotine in the vaporized form takes around 20 mins to get to your brain, instead of 7 seconds in cigarette smoke (which is helped along by some nasty chemicals to make it so quick acting). so e-cigs won't fulfill that 'urge', only give your hands something to do cause the nicotine kicks in way too slow to actually work.
plus if you listen to what the book says, another reason why e-cigs don't work is because you're still telling your brain: nicotine is good. i need nicotine. that's why i'm switching to a substitute of nicotine. but it's not and you don't need it. because what cigarettes do is make your life shittier, but every time you have a smoke it makes it slightly less shitty temporarily, so it feels good.
quitting cold turkey is better.
