Helping a Loved One Live Smoke Free

According to author Barbara White Melin, every tobacco user knows at least five people who want him or her to quit. But if you’re one of those five people, there have been virtually no books to help you. Until now.

Melin tried almost a dozen times before she successfully gave up smoking. With a well-intentioned but misguided parent nagging her, she learned what tactics don’t work—and, eventually, what tactics do. After you read her compassionate, enlightening book, you’ll know.

• Why quitting nicotine is even harder than quitting heroin
• What to do before and after your loved one quite tobacco
• How to enlist the help of friends
• What to do if the loved one is your child, your parent, is pregnant, or vhews tobacco.

“Barbara White Melin has given all of us a wise path with science and heart to help those we care deeply about with their own struggles with nicotine addiction. This is a gift that will spare much misery and death!”
