- Dr. Carl G. Hindy, Clinical Psychologist, Nashua, NH

Manual to anyone who is about to make their first attempt at quitting smoking and especially to those who have decided to quit cold turkey..

Observing those in my family who have successfully quit smoking - and those who have not - Cassius identifies and "hits the nail on the head" as to the exact roadblocks to success. A person should read this once, and then keep the book nearby to re-read over and over. Before they know it - they will find that they are - a non-smoker!"
- Judy Herzanek/Creative Manager, Changing Lives Foundation

“I found Positively Quit! Manual by Cassius Cheong very thoughtfully written and even inspiring! I like how Cheong debunks the myths surrounding reasons to smoke right away. I was surprised by how much I learned. I am very excited about this book! I have already recommended it to three people.”
- Kathleen Karabanov

"This book is unlike most self-help books. It is clear, concise, easy to understand and read. It gave terrific suggestions and even helped me think of some new suggestions I had never thought of before. The best part of the book is how Cassius Cheong explains that it is smokers' beliefs and attitudes which make it hard to stay free from smoking. I reread the book several times and thought long and hard about why it was so hard for me to not smoke. Basically, I didn't believe enough in myself and I went into quitting with the attitude that I was giving up the only thing that kept me going day to day. Now I finally know what I need to do to be done with smoking forever!"
- Laura M. Throop

This guide flies in the face of the conventional horror stories of quitting smoking; read this book and look to your "Quit Day" with excitement and joy.”
- Kim Ann Curtin, Life Coach & Business Strategist

"The book is short so it's designed to help someone quit quickly. It takes the reader through the addiction process, the relapse cycle and adequately prepares the smoker for whatever might happen in the coming days, weeks, and months. Becoming an ex-smoker is a lifestyle change and there are no easy fixes, but if you want to quit smoking and are ready to do so, this book can help."

- Jim Bouchard, Speaker, media personality and author of Think Like a Black Belt

"I thought it was wonderful. Very well thought out and insightful."
- Mary Anne Fields, Life and Business Coach

"Cas provided a clear, concise program that will help the thinking smoker to quit. While his approach won't necessarily work with emotion-based addicts (a lot of smokers, by the way), it is a valuable tool for anyone whose reasons for smoking are flawed enough to where they can make a clear DECISION to quit - and remain a non-smoker… For many smokers, this book will be that catalyst. Reason enough to buy and read it!"
- Michael Craig

"If you are a smoker, it means you are still enslaved by this killer habit. This book probably holds the keys that will set you free. Whatever you've tried thus far hasn't worked, so give this a try. For the little bit of time and money you'll invest in this book, you really can't go wrong."

- Diana F. Von Behren

- T. Page

"I am an avid marathoner who got hooked on cigarettes for 30 years. I tried quitting on countless occasions, from going cold turkey to using NRT, but all to no avail. One day I saw an article about Positively Quit! and decided to give quitting a shot again. Amazingly after taking up the programme, I quit smoking within a week. My chronic coughing had totally gone away. I am very thankful to be introduced to the uniqueness of the techniques used in the programme. I am so refreshed now!"
- Paul Ng

"The programme alters the way the reader perceives his smoking habit. This causes a complete shift in his thinking/habitual patterns. The exercises are a break from conventional methods used to break smoking habits, and equipped me with the tools to better handle the urges when I stopped smoking."
