About the book

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.
