by Pierre Doncieux

Ok, I've decided: tomorrow I will give up smoking! This is a resolution made by millions of people about one of the most commonly shred obsessions in the world. A syndrome of modern times, a contemporary challenge, a personal struggle, the conquest of self and a test of self-discipline. Giving up cigarettes is one of the great battles of the 21st century. Far from being yet another method of freeing oneself from tobacco, this book is created like a sensitively written tear-off calendar - touching, shrewd, loving, and full of goodwill - illustrated by amusing and hard-hitting pictures. The smoker who reads this book can't avoid recognizing himself in this diary of a repentant smoker, and he will be happy to give his own personal 'advice' as he shares the narrator's trials and tribulations.
