# Satirical Smoker Guides 'The Rules of Quitting Smoking' Nixes Vices in the Butt By Marie | Published 2011-08-25 | Updated 2011-08-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rules-of-quitting-smoking References: [good.is](http://www.good.is/post/the-rules-of-quitting-smoking/) & [good.is](http://www.good.is/) [Cigarette addictions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicotine-addiction) are no laughing matter, but 'The Rules of Quitting Smoking' by Christie Young of GOOD is a lighthearted illustration of the difficulties many smokers face while trying to kick the habit in the butt, if you will. I always love Young's illustrated guides for her ability to deal with real issues faced by so many women, in a clever and often hilarious way. 'The Rules of Quitting Smoking' is no different, beginning with the statement, "Follow up hot yoga with a cigarette and iced coffee," which is all too true to the lives of many young smokers I know! Christie Young's 'The Rules of Quitting Smoking' is incredibly realistic, and will reassure any smokers dealing with the difficulties of [kicking the habit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quitally) that they're not alone. I just hope anyone trying to quit is eventually successful and doesn't spend too many nights smoking "half a pack over Patsy Cline," as this chart reads. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 58% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Humorous Educational Guides:** Creating satirical guides that address serious topics in a lighthearted and relatable manner presents opportunities for engaging and effective education. - **Illustrated Visual Learning:** Using illustrations to depict real-life situations and challenges can enhance understanding and resonate with a wide audience. - **Addressing Addictions with Humor:** Using humor to approach sensitive subjects such as addiction can help reduce stigma and encourage open dialogue about quitting. ### Who This Affects Most - **Publishing:** Publishers can explore the market for satirical educational content, creating books or online resources that provide humorous insights on serious topics. - **Education:** Educational institutions and organizations can incorporate more visual and interactive learning methods, leveraging illustrations to make complex topics more accessible. - **Health and Wellness:** Healthcare providers and organizations can use humor as a tool to engage with individuals struggling with addictions, offering support and promoting cessation efforts. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Gen Z-Targeted Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outsmart-nicotine.md) - [Nicotine-Quitting Gamification Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unsmoke.md) - [Social Habit Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicquit.md) - [Data-Driven Vape-Quitting Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quit-vaping-app.md) - [Smoking Cessation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoke-free.md) - [Timer-Based Quitting Support](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quit-smoking-or-vaping.md) - [Modern Nicotine Replacement Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicotine-replacement-system.md) - [AI Smoking Cessation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cessation-app.md) - [Nicotine Addiction Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quit-snus-addiction.md)
