These questions and more are addressed in Growing Up Tobacco Free, prepared by the Institute of Medicine to help everyone understand the troubling issues surrounding youths and tobacco use. Growing Up Tobacco Free provides a readable explanation of nicotine's effects and the process of addiction, and documents the search for an effective approach to preventing the use of cigarettes, chewing and spitting tobacco, and snuff by children and youths. It covers the results of recent initiatives to limit young people's access to tobacco and discusses approaches to controls or bans on tobacco sales, price sensitivity among adolescents, and arguments for and against taxation as a prevention strategy for tobacco use. The controversial area of tobacco advertising is thoroughly examined.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why can't smokers quit? Most smokers think they can't quit because they've got a bad habit or they're addicted to doing it. But... that's not why they can't quit smoking. That's why they smoke! They can't quit smoking because they don't know how to quit smoking. Just about everything you have ever done in your life, you had to learn how to do before you could actually succeed at doing it. You had to learn how to walk, how to count, how to write, how to drive a car, how to play a musical instrument and how to get around 18 holes on a golf course. But unlike golf, when it comes to quitting smoking, you have to succeed at the 100% level: you either do it or you fail... completely. Quitting smoking is a learnable skill... just like every other skill you have learned and developed over the years. Sadly, there is very little real-world, street-smart advice about how to actually do that. Until now... Here's the first thing a smoker needs to know about succeeding at quitting smoking forever: There is nothing more essential to your success at quitting smoking forever than the act of preparing yourself to do it. Nothing! I see smokers make the mistake of not being properly prepared to quit smoking all the time. Heck I did it over 70 times myself... until I finally learned how to get myself ready to quit. So... before you try to quit smoking, take some time to learn how to do it. This book will teach you 5 easy-to-learn but very necessary skills to prepare yourself to succeed at quitting smoking forever. It will also give you the confidence and motivation to use your new skills. Remember this: One of the hardest decisions you'll ever make in your life is deciding whether to walk away from trying to do something or to buckle down and try harder. You'll never regret the fact that you decided to buy this book and learn how to quit smoking. You'll not only add years to your life and save a lot of money, you'll have learned something that will serve you well for the rest of your much healthier, richer life.

Download or read book Nicotine written by Gregor Hens and published by Other Press, LLC. This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE ECONOMIST By turns philosophical and darkly comic, an ex-smoker’s meditation on the nature and consequences of his nearly lifelong addiction. Written with the passion of an obsessive, Nicotine addresses a lifelong addiction, from the thrill of the first drag to the perennial last last cigarette. Reflecting on his experiences as a smoker from a young age, Gregor Hens investigates the irreversible effects of nicotine on thought and patterns of behavior. He extends the conversation with other smokers to meditations on Mark Twain and Italo Svevo, the nature of habit, and the validity of hypnosis. With comic insight and meticulous precision, Hens deconstructs every facet of dependency, offering a brilliant analysis of the psychopathology of addiction. This is a book about the physical, emotional, and psychological power of nicotine as not only an addictive drug, but also a gateway to memory, a long trail of streetlights in the rearview mirror of a smoker’s life. Cigarettes are sometimes a solace, sometimes a weakness, but always a witness and companion. This is a meditation, an ode, and a eulogy, one that will be passed hand-to-hand between close friends.
