http://www.almotamar.net صحيفة إلكترونية يومية تصدر عن حزب المؤتمر الشعبي العام (اليمن) http://www.almotamar.net/4009.htm 2008-01-05 Every Thursday this month, ex-smokers tell how they exorcised their nicotine demons. This week: The reading cure. "Allen Carr will bore you to tears." That's how a softball buddy sold me on Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking, and the idea of limited motivational song-and-dance appealed to me. The book had apparently worked for my friend, and for many of his friends in turn. And with less than a week to go before my self-imposed date to quit on Nov. 1, 2007 -- in an effort to beat my impending 30th birthday and get a headstart on New Year's resolutions -- I was desperate to stock up on as much anti-smoking paraphernalia as possible.
