The Ladykillers

This was the first book to examine the tobacco industry’s role in exploiting women. Although this was important to me, even more interesting was Jacobson’s finding that women often use smoking to keep their emotions in check, especially to stifle anger. For this reason, women find it more difficult to quit smoking than men do.

As someone who had tried many times to quit smoking, I found this insight invaluable personally. Eventually, I incorporated this into my work. I also was finally able to quit!
