This is Richard Craze's honest and funny account of giving up smoking after dedicating himself to tobacco for over 30 years. His journal holds the reader's hand through withdrawal symptoms, mood swings, coughs, mouth ulcers and all the other symptoms. He offers real help for those wanting to give up, and especially those who see smoking as cool (which is, frankly, most smokers) and don't want to sacrifice their personal image when they quit the fags.
