Inhaltsangabe

'The Easy Way to Start Smoking' is a comic book subtitled 'A Step-by-Step Guide to Smoking Twenty cigarettes a day ? and Loads More in the Evening!' This is a darkly humorous take on the 'how to change your lifestyle' genre. The emphasis is NOT on starting smoking, rather a tongue-in-cheek satire which smokers and non-smokers will find hilarious when they are lighting up, trying to kick the habit, or staring at an ashtray! The perfect counter-culture book for all those who dislike being told what is bad for your health! Along with a full glossary to help the novice smoker with unfamiliar words and phrases there are also chapter titles such as 'Who Should Read This Book?'; 'The Recommended Daily Amount'; 'Maintaining a Diary'; 'Beating the Urge to Quit'; 'Myths and Monsters' and 'What is Peer Pressure?'
