Breaking the Addiction: How to Quit Smoking

By Marlow Doyle

Quitting is easier than you think. It's not the smoking you like; it's the nicotine drug you are addicted to that is fooling you. I smoked for 10 years before breaking the addiction. I will provide you with the proper insight to quit along with "quitting" tactics you can practice daily. You are on the path towards an early grave... no joke. I can help direct you towards a better life.
