CHAPTER THREE
In making our decision to stop smoking, you and I have probably traveled similar routes. But for the purposes of this book, it’s important to go back over some of the territory we covered independently. First we have to understand why we smoke, which is the subject of this chapter.

Let’s start by facing what seems to be an overwhelming fact. Smoking must be a pleasure. If it were not, why would at least six of every ten adult Americans smoke either occasionally or regularly? If it were not, why would they spend an average of $1.40 a week, every week in the year, for tobacco products?
