(More customer reviews)There's so much to this little book. No doubt the title will irk some people, but the more I think about it, the more I realize the author's surgical knife may be cutting both ways. The fact is, all smokers have "reasons to smoke," and many of these reasons stay sheltered deep inside their psyches. What Brallier does in 128 pages is expose them all. Well at least most of them. You can't stop flipping the pages because one reason makes you laugh, the next makes you think and the next annoys you. But eventually you'll hit a reason that stops you dead (sorry) in your tracks. Bonk - your secret reason to smoke has been knocked loose from its little hiding place and is lit up under the spotlight. This guy Brallier KNOWS why you smoke. And that's got to take some of the delicious allure out of your smelly habit. So all you priggish bloggers who are freaking out because there's a book out there called "Reasons to Smoke," well maybe Brallier is smarter than you! And by the way - two more "reasons" why this book is so cool: 1.) At $4.95 it's cheaper than a pack of smokes, and 2.) It's so small you can roll it up in your t-shirt sleeve and pretend you're Travolta in Grease.

Reasons to Smoke is the rallying manifesto for the 45 million Americans who are still puffing away and stubbornly refuse to quit-or just haven't gotten around to it yet. The antithesis to our bestselling book Quit, which has sold more than a million copies, this book provides simple, humorous-but still compelling!- rationalizations for those large, cohesive communities of smokers who can be found bonding in scores outside office buildings, restaurants, and bars in most major cities across the U.S. They are unfazed by the smoking bans sweeping the nation. They have solid reasons to smoke. This book will add to their repertoire, and reinforce that lighting up isn't just a mindless addiction. A hilarious book with, guaranteed, no socially redeeming value, Reasons to Smoke will be a commiserating impulse item appealing to all those outlaw smokers out there huddling in doorways, feeling ousted by the non-smoking members of society.
