"Freedom from Nicotine - The Journey Home"

Also written by John, the 4th edition of Freedom from Nicotine - The Journey Home (FFN-TJH) was released in 2020. This 399-page free book holds the distinction of being the only nicotine cessation book referenced in the U.S. Surgeon General's 700-page 2019 Smoking Cessation Report. Going deeper down the addiction rabbit hole than the other two books, FFN-TJH details 4 layers of nicotine dependency recovery (physical, emotional, subconscious, and conscious) while providing tips and exercises on how to navigate each.
