Muriel Crawford, J.D., FLMI, CLU, ChFC, CEBS, is a prize-winning educator who has turned her talents to education about smoking. Her years of studying the hazards of tobacco use has resulted in this valuable book. In authoring Smoking: 201 Reasons To Quit, Crawford engaged the help of prominent physicians and scientists who reviewed her work for accuracy. She is the author of four life and health insurance textbooks for which she was awarded the prestigious Fellow of the Life Management Association Education Award. As an educator, she is expert in explaining in layman's language complex subjects, such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, and emphysema. Crawford's passion about smoking cessation derives from her father's terrible suffering from emphysema, stroke, and heart disease, all caused by his smoking. She says, "One woman quit smoking because she read the manuscript of my book. That alone made it worthwhile for me. But I hope to convince many others that they must quit--for themselves, for their families and friends, and for society as a whole."
