Hey there, I’m Raj. I’m a writer living in London, United Kingdom. I am a fan of yoga, arts, and writing.

It seems like only yesterday that I took my last puff just before I went to bed. I had set myself a challenge never to smoke again. At 11pm on that eventful night I happily dumped three packets of cigarettes, my legendary glass ashtray, and four lighters. That was me giving Mr Nicotine the push – I never wanted to see him again.

It’s been a fascinating journey since. Fascinating because it has made me discover the wonders and power of my own mind. I’ve been watching my mind with mind, so to speak. It taught me to use curiosity in a positive way. Today I feel new. I feel clean. I feel energetic. I feel in control. More than anything, I feel proud of myself. If a weakwilled person like me can do it, so can you.

I love writing. Full stop. I also love my tribe of scribes. To me writing is an outlet. It’s a personal thing that lets my inner voice be heard across a wider audience. It makes me feel connected.. This book is my little way of helping people live healthier lives. Because smoking can eventually kill. If this book can in any way help protect smokers from the fatal clutches of cancer and other horrific diseases – mission accomplished!

This book offers you simple and effective ways to help you ‘kick the butt’ and say goodbye to Mr Nicotine (or Mr Nic for short) once and for all. Without the fuss. May it engage, entertain, and endear wannabe quitters to the practical tricks that these pages have in store for them. Enjoy the journey.
