Quit Smoking Tips

Many websites can be found with lists of quit-smoking ‘tips’. These are all unhelpful, being nothing more than a re-hash of conventional advice on how to go about quitting.

Such an approaching trivialises this serious problem and may mislead would-be quitters into thinking it’s just a matter of finding the right sort of hints or suggestions. Tips on quitting do nothing to help understanding about why one smokes in the first place, nor why quitting seems so hard.

The following blogs are satirical critiques of a number of such websites and an article in the Reader’s Digest entitled ‘The 23 Best Ways to Quit Smoking’.

There is only one way – never mind a best way – to quit smoking, and that is – just quit!

How to do this easily is explained in my latest book, ‘How to Stop Smoking with the Symonds Method’, or better, in my one-to-one Skype sessions.
