Dick Morrison's life has become a nightmare of addictions, filling his days with overeating, overworking, and smoking way too much. When an old friend tells him about a surefire way to quit, he's more than willing to give it a shot. But what Dick doesn't know is that Quitters, Inc. demands a high price from anyone who strays from their rigid rules-like a few volts of electricity for the nearest and dearest... or maybe a missing thumb? Forced to choose between his desperate need for cigarettes and the dire consequences of giving in to his addiction, Dick must decide just how important another drag really is.

"I learned that Stephen King is a master at writing unusual books. This is a short story. I had it in my MP3 player and listened to the whole thing while taking my walk. If anyone wants to quit smoking they should read this book and learn how Stephan King would have you quit smoking. " — Janet (5 out of 5 stars)

" This is a fairly typical Stephen King short story, which meant that I enjoyed it as a bit of fluff but probably won't remember it a year from now. Without giving away too much, it did make me wonder though what The Company would do if their client ever got a divorce or was single... "
