What they're saying on Amazon about Romancing The Smoke....

1.		Sonia Nordenson reviewed Romancing The Smoke: Reflections of a Nicotine Addict (Volume 1)  A Book to Give to a Beloved Smoker in Your Life May 11, 2013 Romancing the Smoke is wonderful--even (especially?) for a nonsmoker. Besides being enthralled and entertained, I now have a much better understanding of this most formidable of all addictions. This book makes a loving gift for those who "can stop any time"--but haven't. Add a comment View this book's reviews on Amazon.com
2.		Aleen M. Smith reviewed Romancing The Smoke: Reflections of a Nicotine Addict 1 of 1 people found the following helpful  The gory details of quitting, with lots of humor! April 25, 2013 John Aaron has put together the pain and misery of getting off nicotine in a funny and delightful book. I already had more than "60 days clean" when I downloaded the e-book, but it was worth the read. I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to be smoke-free.

3.		Jane Derry "Addiction Specialist" reviewed Romancing The Smoke: Reflections of a Nicotine Addict 1 of 1 people found the following helpful  Authentic and Honest Portrait of Nicotine Addiction January 7, 2013 This is a fantastic book that faces the denial of addiction head on. John Aaron recounts the history of tobacco use in America with insight and great copies of advertising past. This marketing past is the platform for John's own tobacco use history, and he documents his own use and ultimate un-use, with wonderful paintings of his own. Although there is great change, nicotine addiction has remained a somewhat socially acceptable behaviour, being downplayed especially if the user is facing other addictions. Although John is able to quit cold turkey on his own, this is not the case for most hardcore nicotine addicts. Many people are now accepting that nicotine addiction qualifies for drug rehab. All serious and quality drug rehabs today address nicotine as a lethal substance to be dealt with on the same page as all other addictive substances and behaviors. Nicotine Anonymous works for many where nothing else has. John has provided a very valuable addition to first person nicotine addiction literature. By John sharing his experience, strength and hope with others, he will hopefully continue to keep himself an un-smoker. Thank you Mr Aaron, for your contribution to facing nicotine addiction head on. An honest, gritty and painful piece that is entertaining and informative. One day at a time, congratulations. Jane DerryShow Less Add a comment View this book's reviews on Amazon.com

7.		Ken C. Lee reviewed Romancing The Smoke: Reflections of a Nicotine Addict (Volume 1)  Fantastic read - whether you smoke or not! November 7, 2012 I don't smoke. I never have. Nonetheless, this captivated me from beginning to end. Like life - and particularly, the life of a nicotine addict - this book is alternately hilarious, tragic, touching, fascinating, heroic, frustrating, and beautiful. And speaking of beautiful, the illustrations are sumptuous, entertaining, and amazing, supporting the text beautifully. A high quality book, this definitely gets my recommendation.Show Less Add a comment View this book's reviews on Amazon.com

Randy Graham reviewed Romancing The Smoke: Reflections of a Nicotine Addict (Volume 1)  Great Read November 5, 2012 The author's memoir tells a poignant story about his addition to nicotine and the journey he made out of Nicotine Canyon. It benefits greatly from the fifty-plus illustrations and photos, all in full color. His combination of humor, art work and easy-to-read writing style make this book an important read for smokers and non-smokers alike. Add a comment View this book's reviews on Amazon.com
9.		Linda reviewed Romancing The Smoke: Reflections of a Nicotine Addict (Volume 1) 2 of 2 people found the following helpful  Romancing the Air August 17, 2012 From what I have read I am very proud of the author, for it is through art he has escaped 40 years of smoke. I am proud of his wonderful feat to recover his lung capacity and breathe again. May all smokers find a pathway to express themselves that allows them to unlock this stronghold on their hearts before they cannot beat. The art work, the humor, the sad reality is all there as you turn the pages. John has shared apart himself to help others guide through Nicotine Canyon. Step up one and all and be alive, reach that goal, jump on that wagon. You too can relish the feeling of air sifting into your body and knowing you have done something important. The choice is yours....a good read no doubt. Breathe healthy, live happy.
