The Healthy Smoker Book by Charles K. Bens, Ph.D
How to Quit Smoking by Becoming Healthier First
It's been found that Japanese men smoke twice as much as American men but have half the rate of cancer (I don't know how that compares to British men but going by cancer statistics over here, it's probably a similar issue). The Healthy Smoker Book, by Charles K. Bens, explains why Japanese men have half the rate of cancer as American men and how to quit smoking by becoming healthier first.
Key Elements of the Book:
- How addiction happens in the brain
- The ideal "smoker's diet"
- Tests that measure smoking's impact
- Disease prevention
- Revitalise your digestive system
- Natural therapies for smokers
- How to avoid weight gain
- Examples of healthy smokers
- Scientifically proven supplements
- The ideal quitting protocol
- The psychology of quitting
- Detoxification foods/supplements
It makes sense to get healthy before you quit smoking because when you give up any addiction, it's a crisis for the body so it needs to be strong and healthy enough to cope. This book guides you on which supplements may help and also which foods may help you to quit, or at least to be healthier while you're still smoking. Some foods, for instance are more calming to the body where others do the opposite.
This book also helps you to plan to quit smoking, as well as helping with the psychological side of things.
If I still smoked, I'd certainly read this book as it shows a different approach to quitting. If you feel good in yourself, then it should mean that you can cope better without the nicotine. Anything that can help your willpower and desire to quit has got to be worth trying! If it doesn't help you to quit smoking, then at least you can try to counteract the side effects of your addiction.
