How to Stop Your Child Smoking

In his new book, Allen Carr, best-selling author of The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, directs his common-sense methods at parents and children. It is, he asserts, by falling into the nicotine trap that the vast majority of smokers are introduced to the idea that they cannot enjoy life or cope with stress without taking chemical poisons. If you can encourage your child to see the truth about smoking, then you may also help them avoid addiction to other drugs. This straight-talking, sensible book is the key to achieving this aim and gives sound advice on: how to communicate freely and openly with your children; how to understand the stresses they are under; recognising that smoking is not a choice, but a trap; resisting the pressure of friends, partners and advertising; being aware of the misconceptions surrounding smoking; setting a good example; and quitting without substitutes.
