Today, a review from my partner, Ron:
A Life in Smoke is an odd sort of book. In it the author documents her many attempts to quit smoking and a whole load of rationalizations as to why she took up smoking and continued to self sabotage all of her attempts to quit. Some as drastic as chaining her self up to keep from smoking.
Her feelings of letting her loved ones down by failing only further drag her down into self loathing and self pity. Quitting is hard, and there are more psychological addiction issues than physical ones. And she does touch on most of them, but it seems almost like an accident when she does.
