Sage Hart, MS, CHES Certified Health Education Specialist & Nicotine Cessation Specialist

I’m a health educator who has spent years helping people quit nicotine while navigating my own struggles with cigarettes and vaping. As a quit coach, I’ve worked with thousands of clients, learning what truly helps people reclaim their health.

I started smoking at twelve. I quit numerous times, sometimes for months or years, always returning during life’s toughest moments. My own relapses taught me more about addiction than textbooks ever could—and they gave me the empathy to meet readers where they are.

This book is the guide I wish I’d had: practical, science-based, and free of judgment. It combines my lived experience with professional evidence to offer real strategies that help people build lasting freedom.
