    This year, give yourself every chance for success and pick up "THE AFFIRMATION ADVANTAGE TO QUIT SMOKING: WIN THE MENTAL BATTLE AND STOP SMOKING". This year be one of the 3% who succeed. 

    NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: 
    The essence of this book is to help you create a self-affirmation and a daily positive affirmation that you connect with and helps you beat your tobacco habit. If you've purchased "The AFFIRMATION ADVANTAGE For Weight Loss: Win the Mental Battle and Lose the Weight" [Kindle Edition], then you already have the skills to do this. The difference between the two books is that the sample affirmations and reflections relate to health, habits, and smoking. The other difference is that this book presents studies that show how using affirmations will help you stop smoking; while the other book's studies showed how affirmations helped people lose weight.

      Introduction

      In many ways, his story is just like your own.

      Just like you, he picked up the habit in his youth. Like you, he had been influenced by cigarette ads, his friends, and possibly even all those cool actors and actresses he’d see on television or in the movies. But was unmoved by the health warnings.

      It was part of his day-to-day. With that first cigarette in the morning, or after a meal, or with a drink. Smoking was a constant in his life.

      And he stayed true to his tobacco habit even as he made his way through Harvard Law School where he would eventually graduate as a lawyer. Then in later years as he pursued his goals, he would try to kick the habit. But would constantly disappoint himself and those around him when he would backslide and return to his daily habit.

      His marriage did not end his relationship with tobacco-even though his wife constantly urged him to quit. The birth of two daughters may have started him seriously thinking about giving it up, but in the end he’d find himself waking up to that first cigarette. Even when his habit endangered his chances of reaching his ultimate goal, he found it difficult to give it up-trying to hide it instead.

      This man. Smart. Well-educated. Extremely successful by any and every measure. This man struggled to quit smoking-a habit that he’d had for over 30 years.

      Barack Hussein Obama II, the 44th and President of the United States of America and the first African American to hold the office was declared smoke-free by his wife in 2011, 12 months after his final (hopefully) attempt at quitting. The reason? According to The First Lady, he wanted to be able to look his daughters Malia, 12, and Sasha, nine, in the eye and say he did not smoke.

      BREAKING UP IS HARD TO DO

      According to Dr. Rachel Tyndale, Scientist and Head of Pharmacogenetics in CAMH's Neuroscience Department-and also a Professor in the Departments of Pharmacology, Toxicology and Psychiatry and also the Endowed Chair in Addictions at the University of Toronto:

      Each year approximately 70% of smokers try to quit;

      40% manage to quit for a full day;

      70% don’t make it past a week;

      3% make it through the whole year.

      Read that again, only 3% succeed in their efforts to quit. So if you’re really trying to quit, then you’re going need all of the help you can get.

      Why It’s So Hard to Quit

      It’s widely recognized that smoking is addictive. For most people the addiction is partially physical and partially mental.

      As for the physical addiction, studies have shown that nicotine addiction is as hard to break as a heroin or cocaine addiction. This side of the addiction is primarily neurological, your brain becomes dependent on nicotine to function and when that substance is removed your body goes haywire-at least for a time.

      When quitting anything like this, the first three days are the hardest. Those three days are when your body is removing all the nicotine and addictive substances, and also all the chemicals the smoke introduced to your body; your body is working to get back on an even keel.

      However, once
