Nicotine and Me: A Memoirette of Quitting, Over and Over Again

By Margot Blythe

"Because quitting once was never enough."

In this raw, often darkly funny memoirette, Margot Blythe chronicles her 35-year relationship with nicotine-from her first cigarette at a campfire in Muskoka at age twelve to her final, painful goodbye to nicotine in all its forms: cigarettes, gum, patches, vapes, and mints.

Told with unflinching honesty, Nicotine and Me isn't a how-to or a self-help guide-it's the story of addiction as it's actually lived. From hiding nicotine gum in ziplock bags to snorkelling with nicotine gum in hand, Margot shares the messy, secretive, obsessive nature of nicotine addiction-and of quitting again and again.

Whether you're a smoker, a nicotine gum chewer, a vaper, or someone trying to understand someone else's addiction, this is for you.

Because it's not about one big quit-it's about the hundred tiny ones that happen before the final one sticks.
