More than meets the eye

There's so much to this little book. No doubt the title will irk some people, but the more I think about it, the more I realize the author's surgical knife may be cutting both ways. The fact is, all smokers have "reasons to smoke," and many of these reasons stay sheltered deep inside their psyches. What Brallier does in 128 pages is expose them all. Well at least most of them. You can't stop flipping the pages because one reason makes you laugh, the next makes you think and the next annoys you. But eventually you'll hit a reason that stops you dead (sorry) in your tracks. Bonk - your secret reason to smoke has been knocked loose from its little hiding place and is lit up under the spotlight. This guy Brallier KNOWS why you smoke. And that's got to take some of the delicious allure out of your smelly habit. So all you priggish bloggers who are freaking out because there's a book out there called "Reasons to Smoke," well maybe Brallier is smarter than you! And by the way - two more "reasons" why this book is so cool: 1.) At $4.95 it's cheaper than a pack of smokes, and 2.) It's so small you can roll it up in your t-shirt sleeve and pretend you're Travolta in Grease.

cute little book

saw this at barnes and noble yesterday, grabbed it on the way out. full disclosure: i'm not a smoker, but damn near all my friends are. gave it to one for his birthday, he cracked up - could completely identify. def. good gift for a smoker.

Funniest Ever

Max is one of the funniest authors and this book is a wonderful read for all the smokers and non smokers out there.

FUNNY!!!

Funny stuff! Great concept, perfectly executed. Brallier nails it. Perfect gift for smoker and ex-smokers, and should be enjoyed by anybody who knows, was, or is a smoker. Where's this book been all these years?!?!

Great book!

I'm not a smoker but Max has made some compelling arguments to become one. A funny and quick read. And cheap too!
