quitting smoking

That's the point, if you "will" yourself to quit you will essentially torture yourself. Using your will power makes it like you're giving something up, which you're not, you're gaining the stuff you gave up when you started. It works better than most ways and it's worth a shot (books only 120 pages large print anyway). And by 'understands smokers' I meant that he knows more about smoking than most people do simply because it isn't something most people think about. You don't have to use it to quit, but it's better than the patch.

And no it doesn't have chapters like that, some examples: Why we carry on smoking, Self-imposed Slavary, The advantages of Being a smoker (empty page actually).

He goes into a lot of things that I just never thought of when I smoked. It opened my eyes to it (and not about health risks or anything, he purposfully avoids te use of scare tactics).

I found it useful because it was a different way of thinking about it and it was easy. Try it or don't, but I recommend at least checking it out. If it doesn't work, you're no worse off than you were before.

Edit: About the "last" smoke, if you plan your last smoke (ie: this is my last smomke) and you concentrate on how gross the damn thing actually is then that's fine, but if you're thinking "god I can't give this up" then you shouldn't be quitting yet anyway.

It's kind of like jumping off a high board, you hesitate for a minute then just go and everything works out just fine.
