About this ebook
In You Don’t Need to Smoke Anymore! Al Ballard gives a fool-proof, failsafe step-by-step method to quit smoking once and for all. Utilizing leaves of the moringa tree—considered a miracle tree in many countries and even revered in others—combined with a gradual and progressive substitution plan, you can quit smoking with absolutely no withdrawal symptoms whatsoever.
Al Ballard doesn’t just talk the talk. After 50 years of smoking 2-3 packs a day, he was diagnosed with lung cancer. He knew that it was only a matter of time. After a spiritual awakening and an ironclad reinforcement of his belief in God, Al created the method that got him off tobacco.
By following this program, you can finally break your addiction once and for all and not have to go through the mental agony, physical withdrawals, and all the other numerous, unpleasant side effects that accompany quitting smoking.

Al Ballard was born at 7:07 AM on 7-7-1947 and has lived an unusual and charmed life ever since. He has had numerous jobs including (but not limited to) truck driver, driller, tool dresser, heavy equipment operator, bartender, lab tech and janitor while his main career has always been as a salesman of many products and 30 years of owning and operating a placer gold mine near his home town of Helena. Never one to conform to the boring hum-drum of “normal” everyday life, he has appeared in six movies (including “A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT”), six television shows (including “NORTHERN EXPOSURE” and been a contestant on four game shows (WHEEL OF FORTUNE, SCRABBLE, SUPER PASSWORD and THE PRICE IS RIGHT). Diagnosed with late stage, small cell, fast growing lung cancer in 2006, Al was given a maximum of two years to live. He and his wife Bobi felt that they had neglected their childrens religious training and so tried to rectify that so the kids would have something to believe in and hang on to when Al passed. Al became a born again Christian at East Valley Foursquare Church in East Helena, Montana and his cancer miraculously disappeared. It didn't go into remission, it left as if it never existed, after having been observed by five separate doctors and confirmed by multiple X-rays, CT scans, MRI's and biopsies.. His final medical report, by his family physician said “Spontaneous healing, remarkable recovery” When asked why this was on the report the Doctor replied “Because they won't let me call it a miracle, but you and I both know, don't we Al?” Al believes that he recovered from the lethal cancer so that he could develop the program for quitting smoking contained in this book. It is his fervent hope that this program will save many lives and prevent much misery, which is why the book and necessary products are priced so cheaply. This is not about making money, it’s about saving lives and is payback for having his life saved and restored. While God and faith are mentioned a few times, this is not a religious book at all. Al's hope is that once you are set free of addiction to nicotine you will realize that you couldn't have done it alone and that you may consider examining your faith and beliefs.

You Don't Need to Smoke Anymore! - Al Ballard
Foreword
A week before I published YOU DON’T NEED TO SMOKE ANYMORE
I had an appointment with my family physician. Although only anecdotal, I thought I you might find the results interesting.
For well over a year I had been smoking the Moringa/tobacco cigarettes. At this point I was at the 80% Moringa 20% tobacco ratio and had been at that stage for over 6 months. Without any effort on my part, almost automatically, I had cut down from a high of 3 packs a day just prior to starting the program to 1 ½ packs a day of the mixture cigarettes. Instead of exerting a tiny bit of will-power and quitting smoking completely, I had continued to smoke and in actuality had, at times, forced myself to continue smoking. My thought was that while I was promoting the quit smoking or nicotine reduction program, I needed to be able to whip my little tobacco injector and a tube out of my pocket, roll up a cigarette and light up to demonstrate how things worked. My theory was that if I quit completely I would probably hack and cough if I tried to demonstrate how to use the program, just like a person that had never smoked would do if they picked up a Lucky Strike or a Camel Straight for the first time and took a big drag. You can just imagine how it would have looked.
Anyway, on this day I parked, finished my cigarette and walked into the doctor’s office for my annual checkup. The first thing nurse did was weigh me. I was exactly the same weight as a year ago despite not adhering to my carbohydrate program as I should. Then she took my blood pressure. For almost 30 years I had been fighting high blood pressure and had suffered two heart attacks. This day my blood pressure was good for an older, overweight male smoker and much better than prior readings. The nurse and I were both pleased. Next she measured the amount of oxygen in my blood. This is known as oximetry. For years I had been fighting low oximetry numbers because of smoking. Usually the numbers were around 89 or less, the target number being a minimum of 90. This day it was 93, even though I was still smoking 30 or more cigarettes a day.
The difference was that the cigarettes I was smoking were a combination of Moringa (explanation to follow in the book) and regular tobacco. The only downside to the examination was that prior fasting blood sugar levels were slightly elevated because I had not been adhering to the low carbohydrate diet my doctor recommended. The reason I had been cheating on my diet a little was because my ability to taste foods, which had been dulled by 50 years of smoking, had returned. Almost everything I ate tasted wonderful; dining became an enjoyable experience again. The surprising thing was that since I was eating more due to the improved taste I hadn’t gained weight! The only reason for that which I can think of is because my energy levels were way up from my previous couch-potato
days as a coughing, wheezing smoker. I was breathing much better and had tons more energy, which of course used up the extra calories. I just needed to eat less carbs, but the volume of food could stay where it was. Things couldn’t get much better than that!
As soon as I published this book, I had no reason or excuse to smoke anymore and I just quit. No withdrawal, no cravings, nothing. The only thing I felt was relief. The program works, it’s easy, and it’s cheap. You regain all the benefits of being a non-smoker while still smoking and when you decide to fully and permanently quit, you have already weaned yourself off of the nicotine.
Please share your own success stories with me, I love to hear them.
Welcome
My name is Al Ballard, and I've smoked cigarettes for over 50 years. I hate smoking almost as much as I dislike reformed smokers. Nothing is as bad as a reformed anything. For years I've heard former smokers tell me that quitting smoking is easy, all you have to do is make up your mind.
They say, All it takes is will power;
or, You'll quit when the time is right.
Former smokers say, If I can do it, anybody can.
Former smokers make themselves feel superior, and they like to rub your nose in their success because they were smart enough or strong enough to quit, while you haven't yet. The guilt trip sure doesn't help much, either. A person tends to go smoke a cigarette just to assuage the guilt, all the while saying, I like to smoke; when I quit liking it, I'll quit. I can quit at any time; I just don't feel like it right now. Sure, it costs a little money, but it's my money and if I want to spend it on something I enjoy, then I will.
We've all been there and done that, right?
The good news is that all that is over now. There is a new way to quit smoking for good that doesn't require huge amounts of willpower. In fact, this new way doesn't force you to quit smoking; rather, it allows you to quit smoking. There is a big difference. It’s easy enough and simple enough that at first you aren't going to believe it's possible. It is and I will show you how.
In recent years, health issues associated with smoking—and cancer in particular—have been much more in the limelight. Smoking bans in public places are in all 50 states, for example. Many other factors are making smoking less and less popular. Further, raising public perception of the negative health effects and dangers of smoking is making clear the importance of smoking cessation. Now is the time, and this is the way. Literally, your prayers have been answered.
This program is not the fastest solution to smoking cessation, but just like when you diet and try to lose weight, slow and steady is the healthy and permanent way. The same thing
