1: Not what I expected
As a supplement to Alan Carr's oringinal easyway book, the little book of quitting is cool. But alone, this book is not really all that motivational. I read the Easyway and this book twice, and I'm still smoking like a chimney. Don't waste your money, just go buy some patches.

2: Great motivator - buy it!
I joined a quit smoking group and tonight was our quit night to throw away our cigarettes, etc. Someone in our group brought this book and read it out loud. It had numerous AHA moments and several things that are really inspiring about quitting. I was hesitant on whether I'd be able to do it but after hearing some of the stuff in this book I now know - I CAN BE A NONSMOKER TOO!

3: The Little Book of Quitting
This book works best when you purchase Allen Car's "The Easy Way To Quit Smoking." You have to really want to quit smoking, and if you do, these books will make it much easier for you. I have not had a cigarette in one month, and I have not used any nicotine patches, gum, or lozengers to help. You are just continuing the addiction to nicotine by using those items. It is best to just put out that last cigarette and say "I am a nonsmoker!"

4: Don't Bother
If you don't already believe the fundamentals of this book you aren't ready to quit. The continuous "I AM A NONSMOKER" was annoying. Although admittedly, I'm not a big fan of the Cheerleader type self help books. I still can't fathom how this book ever got 5 stars based on quality and price. If you're committed to quiting talk to your doctor and join a group or try replacement therapy and skip this money waster.

5: The Easyway Works!
I quit smoking for the first time in my life using the easyway a year and six months ago. It was the easiest and most enjoyable way to quit smoking, no lie. You can't describe the feeling of the "Magic Button" being pushed untill you experience it yourself.
Six months ago, I started smoking again. I read the book again and it didn't work. The button just wasn't there. I was too filled with self-disgust, fear and foolishness to let the book work for me. With the added tedious nature of reading the full length book for the second, third and forth time (without the elated "Magic Button" feeling), it just wasn't working.
This morning I read The Little Book of Quitting and I felt that button pushed in my mind. I know I have quit smoking again, once and for all. It sounds crazy, but I just know.
I think the big difference is that on my second and subsequent attempts I expected the book to work magic without really letting the content sink in. My advice would be to read with no expectations. Don't think about how it's going to work, just let it work.
I would reccomend The Little Book of Quitting for people who were in my situation. If you have read the original book and need a refresher following relapse, I would highly reccomend this book. If you have never read The Easy Way To Stop Smoking, I would suggest you pick that book up first.
Good luck!
