.  .  .  in less than 3 hours You CAN learn how to Quit Smoking - FOR LIFE - from the comfort of your home - without patches, pills and gums, and, *without gaining any weight or suffering a single major craving - Fully Guaranteed by one of the most trusted entrepreneurs on the Internet (and a former 39-year smoker who quit by using this very program)!

Dear Friend,

 y name is Rick Beneteau and I am an author and Internet entrepreneur. It doesn't matter whether you know of me or not, but in case you are interested you can find out a lot here. 

What IS important is this: Last year, I quit smoking. Finally. For good. Forever. As easily and painlessly as the above headline states. And most important, I am prepared to help you (or a loved one) QUIT SMOKING, once and for all, the stress free way too!

And do you want to know the shocking truth about quitting that I learned after 39 years of smoking? 

It's easy!

Before you begin thinking that here we go again with yet another bogus claim about being able to quit so easily, I have a small favor to ask.

I want you to give me the benefit of any doubt you have for the next few minutes because I want to be the person who helps do for you what someone did for me -  that is to Have You Take Back Your Life! 

I want more than anything to help you or a loved one quit smoking, the easy way. Just like I did.

I will be soon be asking nothing more or less of you than exactly what I did to free myself from the evil clutches of smoking tobacco, but so that you completely understand how this can work for you, I first need to tell you my short story.

This is ALL about YOU so please stay with me here.

I smoked, like a champion, for all but 10 of my 49 years of living. By the time I finally quit last year, I could hardly crawl up a flight of stairs without being barely able to catch my breath. Last year I had developed a smokers cough so bad that during a hacking fit I actually tore a chest muscle. Just a few weeks prior to quitting I began waking up in the middle of the night, gasping for breath. I had to borrow a friends asthma puffer. My teeth were a sickening yellow, my eyes disgustingly dull, my skin that ungodly grayish color that branded me "a smoker" and I always seemed to be the only one at social gatherings having to hide somewhere just to steal a few puffs. I had tried valiantly to quit twice before, but failed miserably.

The Tobacco Industry kills more people in North America from Monday to Thursday of each week than the terrorists murdered in total on Sept. 11, 2001 Some family members and friends had started almost pleading with me to 'save my own life' but I was totally convinced that after failing to quit before, I was a lifelong 'nicotine addict' - and would probably be sucking on a cigarette with my dying breath. The way I had started to feel last year, it seemed like it wouldn't take too much longer.

In fact, these are the untouched words of my eldest daughter, a registered nurse, who was the MOST surprised of anyone that I had really quit smoking for good: "Dad, you know how much I wanted you to quit smoking for a long time but especially after the birth of Corbin and Cameron. I couldn't be more proud of you, and happy for my sons, that their grandfather will now be around a lot longer to be a great influence in their lives." Sara N. Wilson RN

Well, this was Beneteau - the Smoker, just last year. Coughing, hacking, gasping for breath with everyone griping at him to "just be a man and quit!" But despite even this pressure and how bad my health was becoming, another attempt at quitting was not even close to being on my radar screen. Ahhh, the seductive power of puffing!!

A Chance Meeting

In 2003, I met a man named Rick Saruna. At the time, I had been looking for a local practitioner of NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) and relaxation therapy to help a relative of mine through a difficult time. I came across Rick and his clinic in my hometown of Windsor, Ontario.

If you want to know the entire truth, Rick was flabbergasted when I called the first time as a few weeks prior he had written my name down to contact me after buying a book at a conference he had attended in New Hampshire -  my company was listed in the book's resource section. So we had 2 reasons to meet.

We met a few days later at his clinic and discussed a plan of action for my loved one. I noticed that a large part of his practice was devoted to helping people quit smoking and he claimed a 90% success rate. Knowing what I knew then about the horror stories of myself and others who tried to quit smoking, I was quite skeptical of this claim. Making one of my notoriously off-handed remarks, I commented about my being in the 10% -  the stereotypical, weak-minded, incurable addict.

Rick replied SO matter-of-factly that the 10% who failed to quit represented those who didn't follow his simple program and that in a couple of hours he could get me to give up smoking for good!

He added though that this time, I would quit for good, without major stress and without suffering through weeks or months of painful cravings and withdrawals (that eventually led to my failure before) and *without gaining any extra weight whatsoever. In fact he said I would lose weight with his program if I wanted to!

Sure I would:-)

90% of lung cancer occurs in those who have smoked. Each package delivers the equivalent of one chest x-ray. Look, I wasn't even close to thinking about making yet another mother-of-all-painful-decisions-to-quit-smoking, so Saruna's promise would have been an absolute miracle in my case! All he said I had to do to was set aside 3 hours of my time and pick the date for what I now call "D-Day", or "done day". I did just that. Afterall, what could having at least a semi-open mind and investing 3 hours really cost me in the bigger scheme of things?

After 3 hours, I really did Quit!

My 9:00 a.m. session with Rick lasted 3 hours.

As an early riser I had already been up for 5 hours when I arrived - without a cigarette - and I was not in a great mood. I believe in the power of the mind and all, but at this point I just 'knew what I knew' about cigarette addiction and it just felt like this exercise would be one of total futility. Actually, I saw myself taking a break to light up outside just as soon as I could:-)

Maybe this is how you feel right now. Doubtful? Even skeptical? If that's true, I encourage you to please, please read on. Everything changed VERY quickly for me from this point forward!

See, I made a commitment to at least have an open mind, the very same kind of commitment I will be asking you to make here, so I started listening to what Rick began telling me - the real truth about my addiction to tobacco.

Everything he said soon made a whole lot of sense - including why it would be very easy for me to finally quit smoking this time.

You are about to read just some of what I was shocked to learn. Afterall, it IS these "truths" that make the difference between smokers being able to quit, and not. And just so you know, I shook my head in disbelief at some of these the first time I heard them!

The Real Deal about Smoking and WHY You Can Quit Easily Too!

 Smoking cigarettes is NOT a natural or pleasurable thing to do. The body rejects it, ie: hack, cough, spit and did someone say, horrible taste? Your body tells you this is really bad stuff! However, I must have said a thousand times, "I enjoy smoking" or "that cigarette will taste good right after dinner", but that was because they (the Tobacco Industry) made me believe smoking cigarettes was a natural and pleasurable thing to do. What I soon learned was that I really love NOT SMOKING! You know, lungs full of clean air, tons more energy, no shortness of breath, nice bright white teeth, increased mental clarity, the amazing taste of foods, a more radiant complexion and increased self-esteem simply because of being victorious in the war of tobacco addiction!

 It was your mind that convinced your body to start smoking in the first place so you could look cool/be accepted/whatever reason your mind came up with, and it is only your mind that can convince your body to stop. This IS the focal point of our program and the reason it really works. No other program I am aware of takes your belief system, the most important ingredient in the successful quit smoking equation, into consideration - hence the staggering failure rate of theirs and the 90% success of ours!   

 Here is something that has got to shock you - nicotine is not what you are mainly addicted to in cigarettes! The tobacco companies and even the government and health care industry would have you believe this is true but there is another ingredient in the highly guarded, patent protected list (imagine that, it's the public's health at stake and this is a trade secret!) among the 1000's of chemicals in each cigarette that really is the one responsible for your addiction - and - the terrible struggle for most people to quit. In our program we reveal this ingredient (it will amaze you!) and more importantly, we teach you how to control and easily counteract your addiction to this substance - a simple and painless thing to do.

 While every other quit smoking program is focused on helping you fight off false cravings for nicotine, hundreds of thousands of people who are sincere about quitting are sadly spending millions of dollars buying up expensive pills, patches, inhalers, supplements and gums in a losing battle to save their own lives. Therefore, both the smoking and the quit-smoking (pharmaceutical) industries (did someone say among the largest government lobbies in the U.S.?) are raking in billions and billions!

 The main reason people fail to quit (and why it took almost 40 years of smoking for me to learn this) is that from the time we were little children we have been lied to and literally programmed by the powerful tobacco and pharmaceutical industries as well as the media to believe that we are heavily addicted and cannot quit. Between having you keep smoking, and, keep quitting, they have a vested interest in keeping you as a dying, sorry I mean paying, customer. Not a laughing matter at all but I couldn't resist.

Believe me, no matter how strange or "conspirial" the above might seem to you right now, this will ALL make total sense when you experience just how easy it is to quit smoking using The Quit Smoking Right Now Program. 

In other words . . . the proof is in the quitting!
