    About this ebook

    My non smoking journey is my experience and that is what I hope you take away from it. The writing of this account is not to encourage or discourage anyone to smoke or to quit.
    I did it my way. If you want to make it your way, be my guest. It was written purely for the pleasure of entertainment.
    Smoking in the 60s was considered cool. There was no hiding out behind buildings or having your evening smoke on the front porch. You could smoke wherever you wanted, whenever you wanted. It was freedom, man. It was the 60s. This is an account of what it was like to be a smoker then.

      SMOKIN’ IN THE SIXTIES

      Right off the bat I want to tell you that this is a story about how I quit smoking not how you can quit smoking. If you wish to take this method and use it then I have every faith that it would succeed for you. It just makes too much sense not to succeed.

      First let me tell you a bit of background on what kind of smoker I was, because I believe that there are a variety of different types of smokers. This is only my guess for I have not done any research on this and this method is only based on my own experience.

      To start, I was not what you might call an early smoker. I did not begin to smoke until I was around nineteen. I had had the occasional cigarette now and then from the time I was about fourteen probably. But it was just that, a single smoke now and then, offered from someone else.

      So at nineteen I found myself working at a grocery. We all had our regular fifteen minute morning and afternoon break times. But I found the smokers in the store were taking extra breaks.

      I’m just running out back for a smoke, they would say. And I got to thinking
