Dick Morrison's life has truly turned into a nightmarish cycle of addictions.

He is constantly indulging in overeating, overworking, and smoking an excessive amount.

One day, when an old college friend informs him about a guaranteed way to quit, he is more than eager to give it a try.

However, what Dick is completely unaware of regarding Quitters, Inc. are their highly unconventional and brutally harsh enforcement methods.

Now, he is faced with a difficult choice.

On one hand, he has his desperate craving for cigarettes.

On the other hand, there are the extremely dire consequences that come with giving in to his addiction.

Dick must now seriously consider just how crucial that next drag really is and make a decision that will have a significant impact on his life.

Will he be able to resist the temptation and break free from his addictions, or will he succumb to the allure of that next cigarette and face the harsh penalties?

Only time will tell what Dick Morrison will choose to do.

The story had its moments that kept me engaged.

However, it also had some areas that could have been improved.

The plot was somewhat predictable in parts, but there were still a few twists and turns that managed to surprise me.

The characters were decently developed, although I would have liked to see more depth in some of them.

The writing style was smooth and easy to follow, which made it an enjoyable read overall.

The ending, with the revelation that "The little finger on her right hand was missing," was a bit of a shocker and added an interesting element to the story.

Despite its flaws, I would still rate this story 3.5 stars for its overall entertainment value.

It had enough going for it to keep me interested from start to finish and left me with a sense of satisfaction.

First published in 1978, QUITTER'S, INC. is a remarkable piece of work that will truly make you think twice before seeking help for a tobacco addiction.

It is a story that delves into the very essence of human nature and the lengths one might go to in order to break free from an addiction. The author, Stephen King, has masterfully crafted a narrative that is both very short and very dark, leaving a lasting impression on the reader.

The audio version of the story is equally engaging, with a narrator who brings the characters and the plot to life. It is a thrilling listen that will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.

\\n  NOTE: DO NOT READ BOOK SUMMARY....GIVES TOO MUCH AWAY!!!\\n

So, if you're looking for a quick and intense read or listen, QUITTER'S, INC. is definitely worth checking out. Just be prepared to have your mind blown and your perspective on addiction forever changed.

Ok, I have a clear preference when it comes to reading. I much prefer either reading physical books or using my kindle. I do listen to one audiobook a week, but I'm extremely particular about the voices. At its best, the voice doesn't really draw my attention. However, at its worst, I simply won't be able to finish the audiobook.

Now, let's talk about Eric Roberts. I am absolutely in love with his voice. From the very first introduction, I knew that I was going to have to search for and listen to everything he has ever narrated. He is truly the best narrator I have ever listened to.

As for the story, I have to admit that I'm addicted to my vape. I find myself hitting it mindlessly, and as I was reading, I could really feel everything that Jimmy was going through. I think this story is going to be especially enjoyable for those of us who smoke because it makes us face the question: could we quit under his circumstances? And that, to me, is the scariest part. It really makes you think about your own habits and whether you would have the strength to make a change if faced with a similar situation.

Audio read by Eric Roberts.

I was already familiar with the story and its various twists as it was a part of the movie Cat's Eye back in the 80s. Nevertheless, it was still quite enjoyable to listen to the original text.

The narrator, however, wasn't exactly to my liking. At certain moments, he gave the impression of being rather bored with himself. This, in turn, made it somewhat difficult to remain fully engaged, despite the fact that the story itself was interesting and engaging.

Perhaps a more animated and enthusiastic narrator could have enhanced the overall listening experience. But even with this minor drawback, hearing the story in its original form added a new dimension to my understanding and appreciation of it.

Overall, it was a worthwhile listen, and I look forward to exploring more works in this format.

Chilling.

I don't smoke - Thank GOD! I would have stopped after this story. I read this 20 years ago and I still remember this and how it made my spine tingle.

Sinister. Very sinister and also, I think this would work.

This story is truly one that haunts the mind. The description of the events and the atmosphere it creates is enough to send shivers down anyone's back. It makes one realize the potential dangers that can lurk in the most unexpected places.

The fact that I remember it so vividly after all these years speaks volumes about its impact. It serves as a reminder that we should always be cautious and aware of our surroundings.

Although it may seem like a fictional tale, it has the power to make us question the reality we live in. It makes us wonder if there are truly such sinister forces at work in the world.

In conclusion, this story is not only chilling but also thought-provoking. It leaves a lasting impression and makes us appreciate the importance of staying safe and vigilant.

King is truly King.

He has once again proven his remarkable abilities and skills.

The way he carried out his actions and achieved his goals was nothing short of extraordinary.

It was as if he was in a league of his own, showing everyone else that he was the one to be reckoned with.

The ending of the story or event had a profound impact on me.

It left me in a state of shock and amazement, reeling from the unexpected twists and turns.

I was completely captivated by the entire experience and couldn't help but be in awe of King's achievements.

His actions will surely be remembered and talked about for a long time to come.

He has set a new standard and shown that he is a force to be reckoned with in whatever field he chooses to pursue.

Jesus!

I don't know if I have ever read this kind of creepy horror short fiction before. Of course, when the writer is King, you can expect it.

Morrison is completely addicted to smoking and wants to quit. When an old friend tells him about an organization-like office called Quitters, Inc. that guarantees they can help him get rid of his habit, Morrison somehow accepts it. However, Quitters, Inc. demands a high price from anyone who wants to join them by paying close attention to their work. What exactly is it? Well, you'd better read it to find out the real and terrifying story behind it. I would say it's scary as hell.

This short fiction seems to be full of mystery and horror. The mention of Quitters, Inc. and its high demands makes one wonder what kind of strange and terrifying methods they use to help people quit smoking. King's writing style is known for its ability to create a sense of unease and anticipation, and this piece is no exception. I'm curious to see how the story unfolds and what kind of horror awaits Morrison.

This is an extremely short story. For some inexplicable reason, it gave me the really dark vibes of a Goosebumps book. Stephen King managed to achieve a lot within such a limited page space.

It commences and concludes with the act of meeting someone. In both instances, one encounters a completely new individual. Jimmy emerges as a new man following his "treatment". Later on, when Dick meets his wife, she is literally a new person to him. However, she is also distinct from her original state as her finger has been cut off.

The brevity of the story belies its depth and the impact it has. King's ability to create such a sense of unease and transformation in just a few paragraphs is truly remarkable. It makes the reader wonder about the nature of change and the consequences that come with it.

Despite its short length, this story lingers in the mind, leaving a lasting impression and perhaps even a few goosebumps.

Stephen King is a renowned author known for his captivating and often mysterious stories. One such story that I found extremely interesting and mysterious is the one that served as the basis for the Bollywood movie "NO Smoking".

I came across this story after watching the movie. It revolves around a chain smoker who is persuaded by his friend, who himself has successfully quit smoking and was once a chain smoker, to join an organization called Quitters Inc.

The events that unfold after this are truly a delight to read. The story takes unexpected turns and keeps the reader on the edge of their seat.

At the end, the protagonist manages to quit smoking, which is a satisfying conclusion. However, the story is more than just a simple tale of quitting smoking. It delves into the psychological aspects of addiction and the power of persuasion, making it a fascinating and thought-provoking read.

I only wish that it had been a full-length novel instead of a short story, as I would have loved to explore the characters and the plot in more depth. Nevertheless, it is a great read that I would highly recommend to anyone who enjoys mystery and psychological thrillers.

My first King work!!

I absolutely loved it. I never in my wildest dreams thought that a 20-page work could leave such a wholesome after-feeling. The way it ended was just NICE! It was like a perfect conclusion that tied up all the loose ends and left me with a sense of satisfaction.

Well, if this is how all of King's works are, I'm sure I'm going to be head over heels for him pretty soon!

This is a short novel or a long story,

whose theme is a new, very aggressive and expensive method for quitting smoking.

Kindle claims that it can be read in thirty-three minutes.

The story might explore the details of this unique method, perhaps delving into the reasons why it is so aggressive and costly.

It could also describe the experiences of those who attempt to use this method to break free from their smoking addiction.

Readers might be curious to know if the method is successful and what kind of challenges or obstacles the characters face along the way.

Overall, this short novel or long story offers an interesting and potentially thought-provoking look at a new approach to quitting smoking.
