Books and Booklets on Smokeless Tobacco

“Stop Using Smokeless Tobacco Now!” by Zach Malott, Director of Stop Smokeless.com

stopbookOur Program consists of several, important things: An 11-Chapter eBook that provides everything you will ever need to quit and to quit for good. A cessation forum that is unique to anything you have ever seen on the web! You have to be a cessation program member to enter this part of the forum, but we have a very unique public forum also. The replacement of smokeless tobacco with Mint Snuff, a non-tobacco product manufactured by the Oregon Mint Snuff Company.

We recommend Mint Snuff by the Oregon Mint Snuff Company because it is clinically proven to help reduce the withdrawal pangs associated with tobacco cessation in the early stages. We are considered a low-intensity self-help intervention program as defined by Herbert H. Severson, PhD at the Oregon Institute in Eugene, Oregon and reported in the journal Nicotine and Tobacco Research. This research concluded that programs based on much less contact with the client than our program was very successful over quitting without a cessation program.

Cost: $39.99 which includes the eBook, cessation program, and lifetime membership in the program.
