Regina man quit smoking and wrote book on how to stop 

“People would come into my gas station and say, ‘I really need to get off these cigarettes’ and I would share with my customers how I was able to quit smoking and a lot of them were having good success at it,” Smith said. “They would add a little twist to it, so this method was really improved, smoker by smoker.”

To help people break their tobacco addiction, he incorporated the methods in his newly-released book, I Legally Sold Drugs: Changing Mindsets for a Smoke-Free You.

Preparing mentally and breaking the routines around smoking are key to butting out, he said.

“The reader actually smokes while they read the book and they challenge their addiction every day over the course of 28 days,” Smith said. “So many smokers are afraid that they’ll fail and that’s why there are less and less attempts.”

The book challenges smokers to go without a cigarette for progressively longer periods of time.
