Almost 50 years ago, my father published this brochure to help smokers overcome their addiction. He knew the struggle firsthand—once a heavy smoker himself, he eventually managed to quit. But for him, the victory came too late.

Smoking is Evil: A Systematic Approach to Quitting

This 1970s guide presents a methodical alternative to willpower-based quit attempts. The core insight: smoking addiction has two components—physical dependence and learned habits. Since habits are within our control, systematically breaking smoking routines (after meals, in bed, during stress) weakens the entire addiction structure.

The approach emphasizes gradual change—eliminate unnecessary "habit cigarettes" first while still smoking when genuinely craving nicotine. This teaches the body to produce less of the chemical antidote that creates cravings. Combined with understanding emotional triggers and brain chemistry, this systematic method offers a practical path to freedom from tobacco addiction.
If you've tried to quit before and struggled, know that this time can be different. With the right plan and the determination to see it through, success is not just possible—it is within your reach.
Take the first step today.
