One book with two covers, 50 Reasons to Quit/Keep Smoking is an audacious attempt to tackle the touchy subject of smoking with humour and logic.
Conventional self-help books and social ostracising haven't worked yet on the nearly four million adults still smoking in Australia. So engaging them in a way that entertains and doesn't smack of sanctimony just might - as it did with the publisher, a veteran smoker of more than twenty years.
It takes the obsession and mystique out of smoking, a pastime that throughout the ages has besotted and repulsed more people than porn on the Internet.
