Nicotine addiction – the big lie

"In fact, there is hardly anything as absurd and absurd as smoking cigarettes and I think the book is very well and coherently structured. While the reader can read about the ingredients of cigarette smoke, apparent reasons for smoking and also possible methods for quitting smoking in a catalogue-like manner, Winter builds up his explanatory framework step by step. Through the way he addresses the subject, he certainly manages to appeal to smokers who are at least interested in not smoking and possibly keep them on the topic. The role of the industry is interesting in any case, and the author addresses this in several places. (...) But if you are planning to quit smoking and are still missing a crucial support, I recommend that you read this helpful little book. Good luck with it, you will definitely not regret it!"

Reviews of the previous hardcover edition "Nicotine Addiction - the Big Mistake":

"This guide is convincing! The author uses many facts to attack smokers and exposes the addiction as primarily learned behavior. He is not wrong and even die-hard smokers have to admit from time to time that they are largely subject to self-deception (...)."
Herz-Blatt 12/09 (Editor: Prof. Dr. med. Gert Baumann, Charité Berlin)

"As a clinical pharmacologist, I have regularly discussed the topic of 'smoking cessation' with the help of nicotine substitution (patches, chewing gum) in my lectures. What I have always found particularly unsatisfactory is the low long-term success rate, which is particularly dependent on the accompanying psychotherapy. The initially astonishing but plausible approach of Mr. Dipl.-Päd. Andreas Winter, that smoking is not an addiction and that nicotine does not induce physical dependence, not only explains the poor effect of nicotine substitution, but is also the basis for his therapy concept for smoking cessation, which is based on raising awareness of the background of smoking behavior. This therapy approach is plausible, very effective and therefore recommendable."
Prof. Dr. med. Dr. rer. nat. Ulrich Borchard, June 2007

"The author sees his thesis confirmed by the low success rate of these preparations used to date (...)."

"(...) His success rate is around 90 percent - which explains why people from all over Europe now seek advice from Andreas Winter. Winter's approach is described in detail with case studies and references (...)."

"The German qualified teacher Andreas Winter caused a stir with 'Nicotine Addiction - the Big Mistake' (...) and offended experts, but now he is receiving support from the professional world. Well-known doctors from Hamburg and Düsseldorf support his new approach (...)."
