a little ironic, doncha think? he spent a lot of time in smokey seminar rooms, so there may be something in passive smoking after all...
i actually read this guys book years ago. i wasnt a smoker, but i was giving it to one. if you are a smoker i recommend it! honestly! the good thing about his method is he says right at the start not to quit while reading the book.
MYX:
Crikey! 100 a day. At a relaxed pace (which I would hope he was at that many) you figure 5 min per cig. Ok that is 500 min. That is over 8 hours of smoking a day. 8 hours of breathing smoke will not do good things for anybody. It says he quit over 20 years ago. There is a good chance that he was smoking filterless too.
I smoked back in highschool up till college. Asthma kicked in and I decided that I liked being able to breath (something I like to do fairly regularly.)

Your chance of getting lung cancer without smoking is 3%. Your chance of getting it while smoking is 6%
