Stop Smoking: It's All in Your Mind  by Gillian Bridge
Smokers know full well that their problem is in their minds. The mind uses triggers to reinforce the habit. For some it may be a cup of coffee, for others the telephone.

The program in this book has an 87% success rate. Smokers will learn the unique reasons why they smoke and from there how to tailor a personal step-by-step programme that will help them to give up smoking for good.
