About John
John Maloney is a caring and
dedicated stop-smoking coach
with the background and personal
experience to truly understand
the struggles that smokers face
every day. He has experienced
his own addiction to cigarettes,
as well as the physical and
emotional challenges involved
with quitting, and is passionate
about helping others win
their battle with cigarettes
too. John can give you the stop
smoking help you need to help
you quit smoking for good.
Growing up in a family
environment with a heavy smoker
in the house, John was exposed
to cigarettes at a very young
age. And like many others in
these situations, by his early
teen years he had picked up the
habit himself. As he grew older,
his smoking addiction grew
stronger and stronger –
especially during times of high
stress. Sometimes, it even got
to the point where he would
light one cigarette while
another one was burning so that he
didn’t have to breathe in any
fresh air. He even kept an
ashtray near his bed so that if
he got up in the middle of the
night he could take a few puffs.
Like most smokers, John never
really thought about why
he smoked so much – it was
mostly just habit. His body had
become so addicted to the
nicotine that he felt like he
needed it to help calm and relax
him.
John went on like this for many
years – like a mindless machine
–
until while he was under
extreme stress, he found himself
in a situation where there were
no cigarettes available for an
extended period of time. The
desire to smoke was so powerful,
and the pain of not smoking so
intense, that it finally made
him stop and ask himself why.
Why does not having a cigarette
cause such pain, suffering and
mental anxiety? It was during
the search for an answer that
the switch was flipped. He
realized he was not really
smoking for any type of pleasure
or satisfaction, but rather he
was smoking to avoid the pain
of not smoking. From that
point on, he made it his mission
to figure out how to
kill that
desire – first in himself … and
then to help others who were
feeling chained to cigarettes do
the same.
After smoking over a quarter of
a million cigarettes in his
life, John has been smoke-free
now for over 20 years. As your
stop-smoking coach, he can
provide you the guidance,
support and knowledge you need
to overcome the cravings, the
stress and the fear – and
finally kill your desire and
quit smoking, once and for all. |

"Having smoked a quarter million
cigarettes in my lifetime, I
understand the struggle.
Don't settle for anything less than
the personal attention you deserve.
Once the DESIRE is dead, you will be
totally FREE from cigarettes and
their harmful dependency."

The Basic Truths
of Quitting |
 |
|
|
|
No one can make anyone else want
to quit smoking.
When someone tells a smoker
it is time to quit, the smoker
DOUBTS the necessity; and
nothing happens.
When the smoker tells himself
or herself it is time to quit,
he or she BELIEVES that
something has to be done; and
something does happen.
No decision is needed to become
a smoker. Unfortunately,
to become an ex-smoker, the
decision to quit is an absolute necessity.
