About the Book

Smoking, Who? To Quit Smoking, Belittle Smoking

MY MISSION

My mission is your mission. My mission is to know that you quit smoking or vaping. Since that’s what you want, too, then read this book! It works!

Why will the book work? Well, because….

  1. The intention to quit smoking or vaping is the seed, and it is already yours.
  2. Now, that you are acquiring it, the book belongs to you. It is your gardening tool.
  3. Moreover, you are the soil, because you are the planet; “Planet You*” (*insert your name here).
  4. By reading this book you’ll be loosening the soil, and that will allow your seed to grow like Jack’s beanstalk. Make sure you wave the tobacco plant goodbye as you climb high to the top of your new world.
  5. Are you good soil? Everyone is. Just read the book. You might have doubts at times & feel tired like a lonely athlete skating for ages on thin ice at great speed.

Change the perspective. When the ice cracks, you’re also the new chicken who escapes its broken eggshell. (Indeed, since you are the planet, you are everything. And if things seem to get hard, remember, when you were born you cried, scared that your world has ended.)

WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY, EVERY DAY

Symbolically speaking, Smoking, Who? will be available around World No Tobacco Day, but in reality you will notice a delay, meaning that in fact as a non-smoker you are going to celebrate World No Tobacco Day every day, for the rest of your life! This is the only thing that should matter; no matter what date it is, you’ll be a non-smoker forever (or a non-vaper). 

THE RECIPE

It took months for this to be written – including almost two decades of smoking – however, Smoking, Who? is a material that can be easily read from start to finish over the span of a weekend. Some of you may need extra days, yet, in order to get the best result it is recommended to complete the task in no more than two weeks. Why, you may wonder? Well, just like you boil an egg in boiling water, you break a habit when determination screams louder than whatever held you back. When you move fast, you don’t procrastinate; you react.

The right information, the proper amount of time, and your attention will work together to build up the motivation and to keep its level up, enough so that you succeed.

AT THIS MOMENT IN HISTORY

Currently, smoking is still one of the biggest public threats the world has ever faced, and one billion deaths caused by it are expected before 2099. At this moment in history, more than eight million people are killed by this vice annually, and the numbers are increasing drastically from one year to the next. Meanwhile, vaping is an epidemic. We all deserve a chance to stop smoking and vaping because quitting these habits has a huge positive impact on one’s physical and emotional state. We need more happiness.

ABOUT THE CONCEPT 

Cost-wise, Smoking,Who?  is in the smokers’ (or vapers’) price range, and the intention is to direct money towards charitable and educational projects pertaining to people & to cleaning the environment. There are already a few such projects in process; read the details in the book and in the Buy E-Book section!

The slow-motion animation video at the beginning of this blog article is an example; it was created with the participation of 86 8th graders from Brooklyn, NY, in May 2022. The making of the video was part of a fun Earth Day project at school, which was offered at no cost to the institution, and it also was a graduation gift for the children! By buying this book you will allow for more of these positive things to happen!

“The major way to redeem your freedom is to become indifferent.“

“The thing is that tobacco is not mortal like us, and it stays until the first of you two bites the dust. People will exit our lives, and we must deal with the loss, but tobacco never leaves. We have to kick it out; don’t think it will ever go away on its own. Tobacco is not a person who dies or moves on. Tobacco is here to milk you of life, health, willpower and wealth, tobacco will be with you till your smoking related death, unless you change your mind. I hope it has nice long legs and good humor, but we both know that’s not the case.

Tobacco is a combination of mold with a squatter, taking over your internal space – your sanctuary.” (Excerpt of Smoking, Who?)

“Smoking is an express train to death. No matter how you put it, you get to the destination faster. On the other hand, ‘not smoking’ allows Time to kill in its own specific manner.
Time alone is the classical murderer to die for.
Time always dies on someone else, so if you must do anything – make it last longer.
Don’t break your hourglass (6:19).” (Excerpt from Smoking, Who?)
