Here is a list
of websites and books that helped me in my fight against the addiction as well
as the development of this book. If you

Websites:
Blair Price's website is dedicated to
supporting and assisting anyone who has the desire to quit smoking. Here you will find a link to the support
group “Blairsville” as well as many other informative pages on smoking
cessation.
Bob's Place - A collection of quit smoking links and resources, ranging
from the totally serious side of addiction to a humorous look at the process of
quitting. “There’s a lot more to
quitting smoking than quitting smoking.”
Bud Ellis's page on smoking
cessation. Bud
gave selflessly to the cause of fighting this addiction until he passed away on
August 23, 1998. The site is maintained in his memory by his
friend Johanna. Included here are
instructions on how to access #NoSmokers, Bud's
chat channel for ex-smokers on IRC.
This is my own
website on quitting smoking. It includes
a copy of the "I commit to quit!" contract, congratulatory cards from
my kids as well as a few desktops I designed to aid you in your quit. Enjoy!
