Hello. I’m Eldon Sarte, online publisher of sites like Wordpreneur.com, author (Wordpreneur Reloaded, GolfIncome: eBay, etc.) and, probably of most importance to you, formerly a 25-year pack-a-day smoker...
If you suspect that I really enjoyed smoking cigarettes, that I miss them, and if they weren’t dangerous I’d go right back to using them again… you bet your cigarette lighter that’s all true!
Which is what makes this book a bit different: I’m no militant anti-smoking activist. Nor am I a health nut. Assuming you’re an adult, I figure you can make up your own mind and do whatever you want to do. If that happens to be to continue smoking cigarettes, knock yourself out. It’s your call. Better than even odds, though, that you’re at least thinking about quitting, which is why you’re reading this, right?
So why I think there may be a need for this book?
Well, fact is, I didn’t find the quitting experience all that difficult. Period. I didn’t say it was instant, but neither did it take all that long. Now if someone like me who by no stretch of the imagination can be called a short-term, light smoker; who fondly remembers the habit and would gladly pick it up again if the planets line up a certain way; and who had absolutely no direct personal health issues pressuring me to quit… if someone like me can quit without much difficulty, maybe learning how I did it can be helpful to your efforts as well, don’t you think?
Besides, I figure a straight talk, no agenda book may do better with the communication thing. As a smoker, I find many of the other “quit smoking” resources too preachy, alarmist, scary, emo, touchy-feely, militant… just plain uncomfortable and a turn-off. With this book, however, I’ll just tell you what I did and why I think it worked (and has worked for years… I didn’t just quit yesterday!), and maybe, just maybe, you’ll find it helpful to your objective.
