The story by Stephen King, is about a man named Dick Morrison, and he has an addiction to smoking. His old time friend asks him to visit Quitters, Inc. to get help. Morrison asks his friend what the treatment is, but his friend said that he had signed a contract, which states that he is not allowed to tell anyone what they do. This leads to Morrison going to Quitters, Inc. and meeting with Vic Donatti. Donatti is trying to help Morrison with his smoking addiction. Donatti uses a technique that scares Morrison so much, that in order to not let that happen, he does not smoke anymore.
This story is very interesting, from seeing what one thing can do to make you scared enough to do the right thing.

It is quite a challenge with a story like this to give a review reader a clear picture of the basic idea without giving away too much detail.
Here, I think it's possible to say a little more without spoiling the story. Perhaps you could mention that the Quitters, Inc. company is run by mafia types, who use the same kind of threats of physical violence to scare people out of smoking that they do in running their criminal rackets.
