Roughly based on my blog post “The Argument,” this episode deals with the idea that everyone who wants to quit smoking wants a system of “gradually cutting down” before they stop.

This strategy will never be successful. There’s hard science to it.

Referencing Allen Carr’s The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, I talk about the reasons why cutting down won’t work, and how it’s actually just prolonging the amount of time you’re spending completely miserable.

I also note, as I always will, how amazing smokers are. You all are my favorite people, and I love you! However, the things that make you great have nothing to do with your smoking. I promise.
