Mel Gibson shares a story of how he quit smoking after 45 years. He says he read the book, "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" by Alan Carr, which his son gave him. The book helped him stop smoking even after he was told by a doctor that he had first-stage emphysema. Mel Gibson feels like it involved neurolinguistic programming and self-hypnosis and worked through a mind trick.
