The book describes proven in practice, in real life information, ways to beat the craving for smoking. Describes practices.

Очевидно, чтобы оживить литературу, ее надо хорошенько, по-настоящему убить. С поэзией это иногда проделывают, с прозой реже. Проза тяжелая, так просто не убьешь. Перед нами совершенно новая проза, причем, в отличие от иных «новаторских» потуг, не только не скучная, – захватывающая. Сюжет, действие, диалоги, персонажи. Как снящееся кино – не оторвешься. Вашему вниманию предлагается книга Алексея Георгиевича Радова «Smoking kills».
