Description

If you know that it's time to quit, this workbook can give you the tools to change. Guided by challenging awareness and motivation exercises, you start by learning how to assess your own smoking habit and lay a foundation for successful quitting.

The authors cover the latest research on nicotine replacement therapies and other coping techniques, detail the most effective strategies for setting a quit date and making it through the first weeks, and show you the best approaches to minimise your risk for relapse.
