Ishmael Ashar
Ishmael Ashar, 37 years of age, was born in the South-East of England in 1987, he is an Engineering graduate and currently an entrepreneur involved in E-Commerce.
One thing plagued his life, and of his loved ones, it lingered like a bad fart, (not that there’s any good farts, if you disagree, educate me further! on ishmaelashar@smokingunlocked.com), and was a bigger culprit than imagined, for many of his underachievements in life. Smoking! It was an addiction, like most, that brought pleasure as well as pain. It had been the cause of many family members deaths. At the time he felt it was beginning to really cripple him, he decided to quit, dissected everything smoking related and buried it for good! His solution comprised of both practical, as well as psychological methods. He then wanted to help his father quit, as well as every other smoker he saw and felt sorry for. “If only they knew, that, they really don’t need it.”
His love of science, history, reading, study of other “nerdy” subjects, coupled with his professor-like mind helped immensely in him unlocking smoking! He lived true to the name, jokingly once given to him by his elder brother, ‘the mad professor!’ Due to him bashing away on his keyboard sometimes at 2.00am! Ishmael is an avid reader, from Harry Potter to philosophy! He loves cricket, astronomy and sitting by himself in silence, contemplating the nature of existence! He has also overcome drinking, gambling and overspending, which he aims to write about, and help others, in the near future.
