Ma’am, please read the following book then give it to your son:
The Easy Way to Quit Smoking by Allen Carr. This book only costs $ 14.95 at Borders (you might get it cheaper at Amazon) and it is the ONLY book I’ve ever read that worked when it came to quitting smoking.
Shocking websites don’t work. No smoker quits because they get scared of the “possible” effects. They already know what these are anyway. You need to understand that smoking is drug addiction. The drug you are addicted to is nicotine, and it’s the worst drug you can GET addicted to, because it is harder to kick than heroin.
Smoking creates the addiction immediately–and even those people who tell you they aren’t addicted, are. But here’s the good news: kicking the nicotine habit does not have to be painful, make you gain weight or make you go through “withdrawal” symptoms. In fact, withdrawal from nicotine is almost unnoticeable! It only creates a small physical feeling–no more than a slight hunger. (Want proof of this? Most smokers “withdraw” from nicotine every single night while they’re asleep, and it doesn’t even wake them up!) So why do people have such a hard time quitting?
Because of the MENTAL withdrawal. It’s not the habit, it’s not the “pleasure”, because there is none. It’s not even the social acceptance, because there isn’t much of that either. It’s the mental idea that smoking is somehow a “reward” or “pleasure” or “good thing” for the smoker. And what creates that feeling? CIGARETTES DO.
Mr. Carr’s book is an EXCELLENT way to quit smoking, and I can promise you it works. He also has seminars all over the world that teach the method. Please trust me when I tell you that trying to “shock” your son into quitting is never going to work.
