[edit] Tao of quitting smoking

Blatant advertisement, also probably copyvio. -- Antaeus Feldspar 05:16, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• "The Tao of Quitting Smoking is a spiritual guide written in a no-nonsense Dr. Phil-like way..." That Dr. Phil, he's my kind of Taoist. 249 web hits for "Tao of quitting smoking", nearly all online bookstores, one Usenet hit that is from the book's author. Delete this press release; it can't be worth improving. Samaritan 05:48, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, book advertisement/promo. It's either a copyright violation or plagiarism, see [1]. Megan1967 08:10, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. We shouldn't have to waste time voting on this kind of commercial self-promotion. HowardB 10:03, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
