    About this ebook

    This is my story. It is a true story. It is my journey from the first time I picked up a cigarette to my success of laying them down forever. For myself, that was a long journey, but for you I will take the heavily edited route. No novel here. But on the other hand, if you were intending to learn how I quit smoking at the start then you will be disappointed. If you are in a hurry and do not want any story, just please skip to the last chapter. You will be missing some good stuff though. :)
    At times, it will be humorous, scathing, self-indulgent, and so on. From time to time, I will be putting it to the big boys, including Big Tobacco, the FDA, TV, and even myself. The blame laid everywhere and nowhere.
    Because this is a true story, you may see parts of yourself in here. I do need to say upfront that although this journey of mine ended in success, it may not work for you.
    Let's look at things realistically. Nothing in Life is Guaranteed but death and taxes.

    Robert M. Yelverton

    First and foremost I am a story teller. A weaver of tales you might say. You will find my story telling to cross many genres. I can't help it. An idea will pop into my head and then grow. I do not control the ideas genres, nor do I control the stories unfolding. Why do I tell stories? Well mainly to shut the characters up. They do not stop whispering in my head until their story is told. Oh, also you the reader. Yes, I have to admit that I tell stories for your entertainment. My characters depending on genre and what they are doing will try to make you laugh, cry, hold your breath, bring you to the front of your seat, and so on. They want to entertain you. So on behalf of all the whispering people in my head I hope you enjoy the ride of what ever story you choose to read.

      Chapter One - Yes I was a real smoker

      ** Some Background **

      I am not one of those anti-smokers that have never smoked. You know the ones I am talking about. Some break out into fake coughing fits when you light up. Others give you the frown face of disapproval. They will also lecture you at
