Rez Seyedin, the founder of Smoke Free Society, has dedicated his life to helping smokers quit and educating kids not to start, after quitting smoking himself more than 20 years ago and publishing his book, "Proven Stop Smoking Technique." The book reveals his personal and proprietary technique that helps smokers quit smoking by weaning smokers off of their cigarettes in 17 days without use of any substance or drug and has become the cornerstone of the smoking cessation plans and programs for the organization. As an ex-smoker and longtime student of psychology and human behavior, Seyedin helps smokers better understand their habit, addiction and dependency to nicotine
through awarness and education. His love for the wellbeing of children has motivated him to establish this nonprofit to energize and unite the community to dedicate more time and effort in helping educate children to prevent them from ever starting to smoke. “Every day, over 4,400 children, as young as 8 years old, start smoking in America alone. As a caring nation and guardian of our children, we must do all we can to educate and prevent our children from a lifelong enslavement to tobacco and smoking,” said Seyedin.
