Popis: | What happens as people successfully attempt to quit smoking is analyzed with the aid of data from a pilot survey of thirty ex-smokers supplemented by other types of materials. It becomes apparent that stopping smoking was, for most of the respondents, a private and individual process involving conscious self-direction and self-manipulation. From this process the individual emerged as a new person who (l)has completely lost interest in smoking or (2) knows that he will never smoke again. |
