A short note to thank you for the session on Saturday and your powerful, professional and easy to understand delivery of facts about smoking.
Pack a day to zero. Can’t quite believe myself.
A rather unexpected benefit that has come out the course is related to Anxiety. For several months now, I have been suffering panic attacks, and my general level of anxiety is high. I can’t tell you what a different person I feel already and it’s only Monday morning. I believe there is such a strong link here and it’s one of the first things I have noticed that has changed since I stopped smoking, a wonderful feeling too, I must add.
Feeling very confident that I will never smoke or be tempted to smoke ever again.
Thank you for helping me to regain my life.
“Normal” as you described it, feels so damn great!

Just wanted to send you my thanks as the 3rd time has definitely been lucky for me!!
How good is life as a non-smoker! I must say this has been the easiest thing in the world for me this time and I am finally a fully fledged non-smoker and could never imagine smoking again – Yuck!!!
Anyway just wanted to let you know I was powering along, many thanks for your help and belief in all of us.

I have been meaning to write for a while, but haven’t managed to until now. Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to you. I attended the course on the 24th January this year. Even though I had read the book a few times and agreed with the principles, I had also attended various other courses and used patches and gums on numerous occasion, but never quite succeeded in becoming a non-smoker. So I attended the course a little sceptical that my two years of stuggling to stop smoking were going to be resolved in half a day.
Anyway, so I left the course, was going OK in the afternoon, I went out that evening was a bit fuzzy but was doing OK. I went to an event that was a bit surreal for me with my father, who smokes. So I had a few cigarettes in the car on the way home. I was so disappointed, I was just thinking another course failed. But I said I would start tomorrow which a fresh slate.
So I woke up the next day as a non smoker. And now 4 months later I am a non-smoker. I knew that if I made 3 months then I have done it.
I was quite surprised at how easy it was. The first few days my head was a bit fuzzy and scattered but that was it, no horrible withdrawal pangs nothing. If the thought popped into my head, I knew that it was the little monster dying, which was a thing to rejoice.
I can tell how nice it is to be a non-smoker, I really enjoyed smoking (yes I know there was nothing to enjoy), but I did, but I much prefer and enjoy a 100 times more being a non-smoker.
I now look at smokers and am so grateful that I am no longer caught in the trap and am free to enjoy my life.
Anyway, thank you, am not sure what you did that day, but it worked and I am grateful.
Cheers Karin

I know its only been 10 days since I stopped smoking from your wonderful workshop but I just wanted to say a big thank you because not only was the day surprisingly enjoyable, but the transitionary period afterwards has been great – and really EASY!!. Each day I feel better and better, and stronger and more confident that I am no longer a smoker and it feels BRILLIANT!
I’ve been through all my usual triggers (alcohol, stress etc) and have had no cravings whatsoever – I am over the moon already and 100% confident that I will not smoke again!
So thank you thank you thank you!! It really is a wonderful experience!
Best regards

I Was pregnant and using patches to try and stop smoking for 2 days i was ready to give in and become a slave to the fags again well with my hormones as well as patches it was just making me go crazy!
I then remembered i had once read an Allen Carr book after my sister gave up from reading it but at that point in my life i read a little and put it to one side that side ended up the back of my draw (silly me at the time) so any way got it out of the back of my draw again to read it as an extra incentive for stopping I mean what harm could it do?
Well tunrs out in did me more good than harm as a day later as i was in the bath reading the book it got to a point i got to thiking i don’t want this nasty nicotine going in my body so i wriggled the patch off as they never stuck on well any wayz and after i felt really in control of my body and knew i would not smoke again OR wear a no good patch :) Thank you so much x x x my baby is due 12/12/08 and will be so much more healthy now thanks to this amazing book :)

I quit smoking over 2 years ago after almost 40 years using Allan Carr’s method. It was so much easier than I thought it would be. I was sure I was going to be the last smoker in America. I can’t thank you enough!

After starting smoking, ridiculous as it sounds when i was 26. I have tried to stop ever since. I tried patches, tried cutting down. of course none of this worked. I started reading the easy way book but being such a slow reader i grew inpatient and then i discovered the dvd in the library. Rented it out not thinking too much of it until an hour later when i didn’t want a cigarette again. I haven’t smoke since and feel i have myself back. I am one of those converted non smokers that pushes this dvd every time i hear someone say they want to stop smoking.
Thank you.

I was lucky enough to come across this book (I don’t remember how, it’s been awhile). Smoking was a love/hate relationship and I wanted to quit but couldn’t. I had tried several times to quit and failed, so I assumed I was doomed to be a smoker.
I read his book about 3 years ago, quit smoking, and never looked back. It’s great to be smoke free, and I thank Allen Carr everyday for his help. I don’t think I would have been able to quit without him. Not only that, it was so EASY to stop and I still have no desire to smoke another cigarette!
I always recommend this book to any acquaintances I have who smoke. I’ve considered getting some cards made to hand out with Allen Carr’s info on it :) Thanks Allen for freeing me from smoking, and giving me back my health and life!

I had smoked since I was 15, and really never even tried to quit.Now 35, I had tried it all, gum ,patches will power ect…and always seem to find my way back to smoking. 5 months ago my front door neighbor, stoped coming outside to smoke! I asked and she told me about Allen Carr’s book. I bought it, read the first 2 chapters and said, this is not for me!!..haha
A few weeks later decided to read again, I really had nothing to loose!
My last cigarrette was June 19,2008.
I cant even remember that I was a smoker!
Its truly fantastic!!

Just wanted to say thankyou. I read The ONLY WAY to Stop Smoking and I did. Simple as that. A resigned smoker on 25 a day my habit increasing my health decreasing I read the book and stopped. All the fears,phobias complete hogwash about how hard it is to stop smoking and how difficult it is to rid the body of nicotine craving, turned on its head. My one regret is that I cant thank the man responsible for his help. I hope it is some consolation to Allen’s family that he continues to improve the lives of others on a daily basis. ThankYou Peter Rawson. Roscommon Ireland

hi, allen.
I just had my last nicotine inducement ie: cigarete. 1 hour ago i was set free from that awfull drug that follows and chases you around the place! I now know how stupid i was smoking my brain away 20+ per day. The book is amazing, the truth is amazing! Truth can be buried for years, yet when its unearthed it hits you full force. It is this positive power that makes it easy to stop. It is the same power that kicks the essence of life back into you. It is this power which will grow and expand untill indeed the avalanche will occure!
Thank a million!

Amazing? Not really, Allen Carr just explains why you do what you do. So in my mind he’s a GENIUS at seeing the simplicity of it. I’ve spent the last twelve months trying to stop myself (successfully) leaving a message on this website. Why? Because ASH state there are no statistics that prove Allen Carrs method Is successful after 12 months. It IS successful and I wanted to write this after 2 weeks of stopping smoking but held off for what is now 14 months. Bottom line Allen Carr is a life saver… THANK YOU!

I’ve been smoking for about 15 years now. When I first heard of this book from a friend I said NO WAY. I’ve seen ads for STOP SMOKING in one hour clinics for some time now but never believed in such things. After I read this book and mind you it took me only 3 nights to read I had stopped smoking the following day and now I’m been off for 4weeks. It feels awesome and I can’t thank Allen enough for this wonderful amazing yet simple book. You are truly a legend.

I have read “Easyway to stop smoking” twice now. The first time was about 2 years ago, but it didnt really sink in….and now I know why – it is simply because I wasnt READY to quit. I have now recently read the book again, and I am proud to say that as of today ( Tuesday 9th September 2008 ) I am now a non-smoker. I have just stopped – it’s as simple as that, I dont need all that crap in my body and I will be healthier, happier and richer – it’s a win-win scenario!!!! I will let you know how I get on, but I am confident when I say that I WILL NEVER SMOKE AGAIN!!!!
Good luck to anyone who is trying or going to give up – give the book a try, even if it doesnt work the first time, when YOU are truly ready to give up, you will take the information in and apply it to your life…this is by far the best way. I personally know of 5 people who have given up with this book, not including myself, and we were ALL heavy smokers…minimum of 15-20 per day.

Just wanted to say a massive thanks for helping me to stop. I feel great. it used to be so horrible, i would tell my children to ‘go away’ or ‘give me 5 mins’ so that i could have a cig, i would avoid hugging and kissing them until i had had something to remove the smell, because i knew i smelt horrible! i used to try and smoke about 3 cigs if i knew i was going without for a while whilst in a place i couldn’t smoke because i felt i would be missing out! what a complete idiot i used to be. Life is easier without the cigs and again thank you.

This book was a real eye opener for me. For years I had been terrified of quitting. Then I read the book and it really was easy to quit smoking! My husband read it … and he quit too!
I have since purchased the book for a friend, my son, and my nephew.
Allen Carr didn’t tell me anything I hadn’t told myself countless times … he just put everything together to present a common sense approach to altering my thinking!
I wish I had read the book years ago!

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t say that enough.
I am 29 & have a lung disease called Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency. I have known this for 6 years & still continued to smoke. The Drs. have told me that I will be dead by 40 if I don’t stop.
You saved my life.
I never craved a cigarette. After 14 years of smoking, I just laid them down and walked away. The next day I went to a smoke filled bar & didn’t want one. The smell made me wanna gag & I couldn’t wait to go home & shower. I smelled like an ashtray.
My children & I thank you from the bottom of out hearts. You are a true hero.

Having read Allen Carr’s “How to stop smoking permanently” I haven’t smoked for 23 days! I previously gave up for 12 years using the willpower method and always thought of smoking as a good old friend that I missed. I started smoking again 6 years ago and it hooked me again. However this time I have become free and can see smoking as it really is – a deadly addiction to nicotine that doesn’t do ANYTHING for us! Thank you thank you thank you.

I thank God for Allen Carr’s “Easy Way”. I still went through a few days of withdrawal, but the wonderful thing is that I don’t desire AT ALL to ever smoke again. I had quit twice in the past, and each time “wished” I could have a cigarette sometimes. I thought it would help my stress. After reading his book, I realized that the “stress” it relieves is just the nicotine withdrawal that it created! The rest of my stress is still there.
My husband and I see others smoking and now feel pity rather than envy. It’s just simply amazing. My husband had smoked for 10 years, I had smoked on and off for that long.
We’re done for good and so very thankful!!

Allen,
You are now a member of my family. You have saved my life. I cry with joy. I am only 29 and I smoked for 18 years. Yes, when children were running the mile, I was standing behind the tennis courts by myself, smoking. I’ve lost so many years, but I know I will never smoke again and I owe that joy to you. I will spread your beautiful wisdom. I will spend the $122 I spent on cigarettes every month on your books for the next year so I can pass them out to friends and family and even strangers! I want to help you change the world. You are my hero. Thank you!

Hello Allen. I had been a heavy smoker for many years and have tried unsuccessfully to quit for many years. I read the first few chapters of your book and that was enough. I’m finally clean from that dirty habit. Haven’t smoked for 2 years, haven’t wanted to smoke and that’s after smoking for about 17 years at 4 to 5 packs a day.
Anyway, I recently read the rest of the book and realized that the rest of the book is excellent also. I would like to purchase a copy for a loved one ..so that I can help other people stop smoking as easy as I did. Thanks.

I stopped smoking before on the method using the book. I started again after i went through a period of intense stress when I thought my job and home were on the line. That was 5 months ago. I had even stopped the year before that using the book. I turned to the book again, apprehensive about the likelihood of success because of previous attempts. I wondered whether the session would be more useful. I called the clinic and was a little alarmed at the price, which I was dismayed to work out was too expensive for me. I then calculated just how much money I would save not smoking and i also weighed up the benefits to stopping. Without doubt they outweighed any concern about the cost in the end! As I was talking on the telephone to the receptionist at the clinic, she told me that obviously something in the book had not been understood by me and that’s why I had started again. I started to think about this and realised that in the end, the success arises from the message getting through and staying there. So, interestingly, I started to read the book again but this time I did it as an experiment. I told myself that the worst that could happen was that it would not work and I would start smoking again. So what did I have to lose? That way, all I had to do was read the book, and I didn’t even have to stop smoking if I didn’t want to at the end. It was a genuine experiment to see if the receptionist had been right. I knew without doubt that in order to really find out the answer, the truth, I had to read the book and let the message in genuinely, with an open mind. I did it and I have stopped smoking a month ago today. It was easy and not at all traumatic. I love being a non-smoker. I clearly have no physical addiction anymore. But two days ago, the 3 year relationship i have been in with someone I have known for over 17 years finally came to an end. I am finding this experience to be incredibly hard and emotional and traumatic. The feeling of loss is palpable and creates such an emptiness. It is very interesting that at this time, I find myself thinking about smoking. I can see that this is a danger zone. But it is a danger zone only because mentally I think it will provide some form of comfort. I am telling myself that it won’t and i know it won’t. At a time when my whole world is turned upside down I am merely trying to find comfort in something. This is especially hard when none of the crutches I had before, my partner, smoking, certain thinking patterns are available to me to cling onto. I feel I stand alone. But the beautiful truth, which I know, is that I can stand alone. I can handle being alone, and smoking simply will not make it any better or make me any stronger. In fact, far from it, had I been smoking at th time the relationship ended I would have all the fears that come with smoking and I would have artificially relied on the weed, believing it was taking away some of the pain. It would not have been doing that but merely creating an ever greater dependency on cigarettes when other aspects of life are hard. That is precisely how cigarettes are marketed. They make you believe you need them when things go wrong. It is the greatest con in the history of marketing. Forgive my anger, but it ranks up there amongst the most disgusting and ugly acts of mankind…EVER! I am so beautifully free of the weed. My pain at the moment is so tough. But in fact the fact that I mentally beat the world’s greatest con artists at their game of trying to get everyone hooked, is more than just a small comfort to me. If I can stand up to that mentally, clearly I can handle pretty much anything and certainly the death of a relationship which meant a lot to me. Because this has taught me that if you push through the fear, greater things always and i mean ALWAYS await you at the other end. I know this message is long, but writing it has helped me immensely. Thanks for reading it!

Thankyou from the bottom of my heart. I stopped smoking 13 days ago and have hardly thought about it. Its ALL TRUE – there are no withdrawals, they are imaginary after all, can you believe it! I contracted pneumonia shortly after stopping and Thank Mr Carr otherwise I don’t know how I’d be coping with this illness. I am proudly recommending The Easyway method whenever I’m asked. No-one quite believes me but I know the truth and soon enough others around me will be enlightened too. I’ll never forget what you’ve done for me, Warmest regards , Danielle

I bought/watched the Allen Carr Easyway DVD a month ago today, and have been a happy non-smoker ever since! I actually ENJOYED the process and have recommended to ALL my family and friends who are slaves to the weed. This DVD saved my life, and would recommend ANY smoker to just give it a try. You have NOTHING to loose and EVERYTHING to gain!
Allen Carr / Easyway – Thank you

I`m 62 years old, having been a smoker for over 50 years.Like Allen Carr I had tried to quit many times.
I was directed to Allen Carr’s site via a pro smoking web site.
I downloaded the book “Scandal” and read it begining to end and was so impressed that I then bought the DVD,”EASY WAY TO STOP SMOKING”.
Near to the end of the DVD I was instructed to have my last cigarette which I did having paused the video.I then returned to watch the end of the video without realising that I was already a non smoker,this was at 12.30 18 Feb 2008 and just like Allen did I will always remember this date.After 6 months as a non smoker I now feel qualified to tell others of my experience.
I still visit that pro smoking website, not because I`m pro smoking but because I`m pro choice.
Allen Carr exploded the myths and lies surrounding tobacco and gave me the choice to quit or not to quit, which I never had before.
For this I am eternally grateful.

I purchased and read his literature in Nov, 2006. I was dismayed to hear of Mr. Carr’s demise, It was in late October of that year as I recall.
He brought me full awake to the reality that “right now” is the only and proper time to stop this filthy practice. On Dec 16, 2006 upon arising, I vowed that I would NEVER light up again and to this day (August 15, 2008), after 55 years of unfiltered and in the latter years, roll your own, I have easily abstained. It is so amazing how easy the change was made and also so amazing the changes toward better health that have occasioned since. People, please read his writings. It is a blessing

I just quit smoking using this book after 17 years of smoking and fearing cancer (I’m 32 now). Everything about Alan Carr’s method makes so much sense and is so logical.
I am trying to get family members and friends to read the book. I have found this difficult to do, but once I started emphasizing that the book is empowering and doesn’t make you feel stupid or weak or use fear tactics, they started coming around.
To speed the process up and do all that I can do to help people I love escape “The Trap,” I’ve decided to go ahead and buy each of them their own copies!
I figure the money spent is well worth the money I will have saved on cigarettes over the course of my lifetime!
Thank you Alan Carr.

I only recently discovered Mr. Carr had passed away. :( So I posthumously thank him and his organization for my new freedom! It has only been a few months since I finished the book and put out my last cigarette, but it worked for me.
*** I still occasionally think how nice it would be to have a smoke. Then I freeze in horror and remind myself that I have already proven I do not NEED any such thing! I smell good, I am breathing properly for the first time in years, and I am saving money. It is pure fantasy that such a smoke would be anything but A BAD IDEA. Each cigarette provides the need for the next! That sentence is my key to success. ***
Countless so-called friends and others saw me reading the book and laughed in my face. I am the one laughing now!

Thank you so much for finally setting me free from this awful deadly trap. I have been free for over a month now and have found the whole experience painless and even pleasurable. If it worked for me it can work for anyone.
Thanks for giving me my life and my dignity back.

After 25 years of addiction I bought the book! Didn’t read it though, thought I’d try expensive drugs it was the only answer…......they didn’t work though so how could a book? I don’t know but IT DOES WORK! No cravings just a feeling of happiness and my taste back again and breathing easier amazing really. Many Thanks Allen, great book I couldn’t put it down!

I bought the book on a market stall when shopping as I was interested. I have spent the last 3-4 months thinking how I just want to stop, I have had enough, I can’t breathe and my panic attacks are returning… I am 22 and female, with a non smoking partner.
I started reading the book last tuesday (29/07/08) and thursday I had my last cigarette.
7 days on and I feel fantastic. I have had no cravings, no withdrawals, my appetite remains the same. I am frankly amazed how I put my faith into the book and believed in it, and now I am free.
Thank you so much. I already have 3 friends wanting to borrow the book… You are doing a wonderful job.

I read the book on the advice of a friend who had been smoking for 20 years, 2 packs per day. He has quit now for 8 months. I figured if he could do it I can, as I am a five per day smoker. With this book I learned a great deal about my nicotine addiction, and the straight up no BS talk was very motivating for me.
This book was awesome. I have now quit for 4 weeks. I’m FREE !!!

Deal Allen Carr,
I am most grateful for your easy way method.
A friend of mine, who was diagnosed with cancer, was able to quit smoking and recommended me the book.
I purchased the book on September 27th of 2005, read the book that same day, smoked my last cigarette and have been a non-smoker ever since!
I have had several dreams (I call them nightmares) where I was smoking and would wake up rather upset with myself, only to realize a few minutes later it was only a dream.
But other than that, I don’t have any desires to smoke and I even hold my breath when I pass a smoker, just because I don’t like the smell of it anymore. Especially after going to a club and having to smell the clothes later.
Hope every other smoker wakes up and is able to live a cigarette-free life.
Thank you so very much for your help!

Thank you for such an effective method! I have become a non-smoker after 17 years of smoking a pack a day after reading your wonderful book.

Thank you Allen!

Hi Natalie,
I came to your clinic on Feb 9th and have not once been tempted to smoke or had the desire to smoke.
I was a smoker for almost 25 years and after many failed attempts at giving up through will power and nicotine patches I began to think I would never manage to be free from the clutches of nicotine addiction.
Since the course and for the first time in my adult life I genuinely do not want to smoke. I also feel 100% certain that this is going to be the case for the rest of my life.
Thanks for everything – I’m recommending everyone I know who is a smoker to attend your clinic!

This is a remarkable method and has worked for me. I have tried to quit smoking 3 times before, with my best effort being only 4 months. I must say that those 4 months were not easy, i always felt like a smoke and could not stand to be around smokers, where as this time around i really feel like a genuine non smoker who can enjoy social events around smokers, and not even be tempted for a puff.
The topics discussed in Allen’s book really do make sense and help the smoker to understand that there is an easy way out of this “TRAP”.
I have so many praises for this book and the EASYWAY method, it has saved my life.
I would like to finish by saying that Allen Carr is a wonderful man for saving so many peoples lives for such a long time. The governments around the world are fools for not putting some sort of programs or funding for Allen’s method into practice to save many more peoples lives.
I will personally ensure that Allen Carr’s legacy lives on after his death by spreading the word of this great life saving technique.
Thankyou,
Ben

Hi,
I had been trying to give up smoking since 2nd February 2008 using NRT. I managed not smoke for 8 weeks but it was hell. Struggled for another 2 months, smoking 4 or 5 in the evening – still hell. I then tried THE EASYWAY TO STOP SMOKING and guess what S U C C E S S. I have been smoke free for two easy months now and from day one I haven’t even wanted to smoke. My friends cannot believe it, especially how even tempered I have been as in the past when I tried to give up I was like a bear with a sore head. But then again I have not given up smoking I have just chosen not to smoke – that’s the key.
Thank you so much

I have encountered phenomina in my life but nothing like this before. It works, and I am truly shocked. All of my friends can’t believe me since I quit a month ago and are getting curious, many of them have already went out and bought the book and a currently reading it. It’s not even that we become opinionated ex smokers either, we just don’t care about cigarettes anymore and end up feeling sorry for the other people still in the nicotine trap.
Allen Carr is amazing and should be considered a saint for all the lives he has saved.

Hi, my name is Bianca. I’m from Romania and I discovered Allen’s book three weeks ago.
I’m 25 years old. 11 years I smoked 20 cigarrets per day and for more than 1 year I tried various unsuccessful methods to quit.
Now, after reading Allen’s book,I feel more alive than ever and my first 2 weeks as a non-smoker were the best of my life!
I cannot believe I had to wait 11 years to understand what it was so obvious.
The next step is to convince the persons that I love to read the book.
Thank you Allen Carr, where ever you are!

I quit three weeks back. Even this early into the game, I know I am never going to smoke again.
I have always been skeptical and critical of self-help books. But this one is a rare phenomenon – insightful, analytical and totally convincing – a fascinating read even for a non-smoker. One can only imagine the excitement of a smoker who realises halfway through the book that it might finally happen with this one.
And it happened for me.
Thanks again, Allen. May you rest in Peace

I stopped smoking 4 months ago – Allen Carr’s book definitely helped me, mainly because it educates you with nothing but the TRUTH of the psychology of smoking.
Armed with that knowledge you are able to understand your cravings. You realise why cigarettes do not help you relax, concentrate, stop you from being bored etc. Basically it unravels every single reason you give yourself for smoking.
I have to say though I used a hypnosis CD to help me relax when I was feeling a bit anxious – but that has completely died off now. But you basically need to educate yourself, and Allen’s book does that superbly.
Just try it… I don’t even think about cigarettes anymore, even when I’m out having a drink with friends. I almost feel sorry for them to be honest, which is a bit smug of me but I don’t care, because I don’t have to smoke anymore… cheers for saving my money and lungs Allen!!!!!

Well its finally over!
And I cant believe how easy it was. Im sure thats what everyone says when they read this book but it really works.
At first i wasnt so sure. How could a book stop you from smoking? It does.
There are a few important messages to take from the book which help me everytime i thought of lighting up (now i dont even think of it).
1. There is no such thing as one smoke. If you have stopped for a couple of months and your craving a smoke just think about it. If you have one cigerette you will get hocked again. So why have one.
2. Everything i thought smoking was doing for me was false. Concentration / bordom / stress / relaxation. As the book says it is doing nothing for you and when you sit back and think about it its true. You have so much to gain from stopping.
I have not had a smoke for 2 months now and it feels amazing. Dont look at a smoker and think you are missing out. I have spoken to my mates that are still smoking and they envy me. Just quietly that is a cool feeling.
I truly believe that everyone can stop by reading this book. All you need to do is want to stop (every smoker really does) and once you put out that final cigerette thats it. Your a non-smoker!!

Despite several attempts at quitting using willpower I’ve always graually succumbed to smoking again and at no point whilst quitting have I felt truly freed from my addiction.
I was recommended to read the Easy Way book by a friend and, although initially sceptical, I was very excited when I started to read the book. About half way through the book I started to panic as I knew that if I continued to read it to the end I would never smoke again. This may sound like an irrational thought but to those who have read the book I’m sure it’s a very familiar one. The most difficult thing for me was having to continue smoking right to the end of the book, as every cigarette I smoked towards the end was torture. All I wanted to do was stop!
When I was finally at the end of the book, and allowed to stop smoking, I felt pure elation and this is a feeling that still hasn’t left me. I sometimes feel like crying tears of joy when I think about the fact that I am finally free from my 20 year addiction.
Throughout the quitting process, I have never craved a cigarette and at the very beginning when I could feel the nicotine leaving my body, each withdrawal twinge was a joy as I knew that I was finally getting rid of my nemesis.
I cannot recommend this book enough to those who want to be free of smoking and have bought it for my loved ones as I feel its the best gift I can give to a smoker.

Today is the 15th of July, 2008, and I wanted to salute EASYWAY with the 25-th anniversary of the greatest escape and most important discovery to mankind ever!! It’s almost two years since I managed to see the truth and start escaping from Western Brainwashing with the help of Allen Carr. It’s so nice to be free from absurd ideologies, free from permanent schizophrenia and finally stop damaging my mind and body! And what’s a bit strange – I’m never tired of enjoying this felling and thought! Whether the day is good or bad – I’m always aware that in any case it would be worse if I couldn’t digest Allen’s message or even didn’t have a chance to try. I believe, then I would be choking myself till this day without ability to realize the other way…. Oh, what a great luck was that! Thank you, Allen – you became immortal.

Good morning. Hope you are well. I thought I would just send you a quick catch up email.
As of tomorrow (8th), it has been 3 months since I attended your course and I am delighted to inform you that I have not had a cigarette since !!!!!!!
It has not been easy … although I have not (for one second) felt the urge to smoke. It has been life changing, in a fantastic way …..
Thank you very much for a brilliant course and I hope that, firstly, I never ever smoke again and, secondly, lots and lots of people continue to attend your course and change their lives around – just like I have.
Have a great weekend.

Hi, I have now been a permanent non smoker for just over a week after reading Allen Carrs “Only way to stop smoking permanently.”
I have no desire to smoke yet have no problem being in a room or the car with my wife who still smokes.
My wife, kids and friends are absolutely amazed at how easy it seams to be for me ( based on several very aggressive attempts to quit using other methods ). In fact I was terrified as I read the book, knowing that at some point I would be told to smoke my last cigarette, but when it happened I just got on with it.
To be truthful, I still don’t believe just how easy it has been !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had tried to stop several times before using will power/patches etc, this is the first time that I am confident I have stopped for good! I was on operations in Afghanistan last summer which, if you are a soldier, you will understand it is a time when many people start smoking! I was given the book by one of the medics who had just used it to stop. The book made perfect sense to me and I was so glad when I had smoked my last cigarette! I had been an on and off smoker for 15 years and it will soon be a year since I quit! I do not understand why the NHS do not give out free copys of the book instead of wasting my taxes on Nicotine patches!!

The funny thing is, I looked at the website and thought, “this is just some scam – too good to be true”. How wrong I was! About a month later I came across the “Easyway” book in a local book store and thought, “they can’t steal my credit card here, maybe this could work…”
I bought the book on a Friday evening, read it all day Saturday, and smoked the whole time. I smoked my last cigarette Saturday night. When I woke up Sunday, I knew that I was a non-smoker. it was the most liberating, great feeling I have ever felt! My wife thought it was impossible, but at the end of the week she started to realize I was serious, so she read it too.
We have been non-smokers since November 2007, both having smoked 1-2 packs a day for 10-11 years!
MONEY WELL SPENT! If you are concerned about the legitimacy, buy it from a book store – IT WORKS! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

on july 1st i have finished to read the book and stopped smoking. aged 49 an smoker since the age of 18.
No withdrawal symptoms, no side effects, nothing !! only happiness.
I cannot forget my embarassment when my angel faced kids used to ask me: dad why do you smoke ? Which sounded to me like : ‘how can OUR FATHER be so stupid?”
That hurt more than the certain death I was facing.
that’s history, i’m out of it.
Without “the book” I could have never made it !!

Hey… I just wanted to say that the book cured me….i’ve tried to stop smoking countless times and the book worked…it took me almost 2 months to read the first half of the book, due i’m certain to my insecurities about stoping. Once i decided that i was done it took only 3hrs to read the rest of the book. When it came time for my last smoke i didn’t even get half way through it, at that point I was done and new i’d never look back…withdrawls were almost unnoticable and I had a feeling of excitement and accomplishment…

Thre is no way i could have done it without reading the book. I have tried every other method in the past and failed miserably. it really is easy.

I just wanted to tell you that I am in my 4th week of being a non smoker! I put my last cigarette out on June 12th, and I can’t believe I’ve actually done it. I started to read the book over a year ago, when my Dad was diagnosed with Lung Cancer, and still put it down for a while…but then I made up my mind and went back to it. I’m so glad I did. There were a number of stressful outside factors that were taking place when I finished my last smoke, (and still are going on) but I didn’t buckle, I kept reminding myself of everything Allen said in the book, and it really helped. It really was easy. Thank You!!

Several people that I know and admire told me that the Carr Method to stop smoking was simple and nearly easy—that they had stopped without using gum or the patch or hypnosis or 12-step meetings.
I still would only buy the “Little Book of Quitting”—less than the price of a pack of smokes in NYC. Because I am “thrifty” about my health—and spend money like water on entertainment, travel, gifts, vehicles, and techno-toys.
It was so easy to quit using this short, cheap, honest little book that my problem is
forgetting how badly smoking had me in a death grip. I have to remember that I am in fact avery lucky free ex-smoker—thanks to Easyway and Allen Carr. Imagine all the love and good cheer spread by people saved from smoke-caused early death. And those who were born as a result of life, strength, joy, love and breath added back to their parents.
Bicycling again and ready to start jogging on sand—no longer coughing or hiding my bad habit!
Thank You!!
God Bless Allen and all of his people.

Hey Allen,
Had quit 3 or 4 times previously but this time I really enjoyed kicking the little green monster to death on the floor along with the brainwashing governments and tobacco companies. It is so incredibly easy to stop once you realize your a “mark” being fleeced by the nicotine peddlars. The habit is dead for good!! I hate to be “had”.
Thanks for the heads up Allen.

Today I celebrate 12 months free from cigarettes after more than 30 years as a smoker. Since I stopped I have become aware of a number of other people who have also stopped successfully with either the Easyway book or course. I find it incredible that this method is not better utilised by our health service instead of wasting money on nicotine replacements. Easyway really works.

After trying the willpower method and failing miserably and putting my poor kids through psychological hell when they were younger, I resigned myself to always being a smoker. Then a few weeks ago, I gave this book a look at. Once I read and understood the book I looked forward to my last fag and although I’ve had a few pangs, they’re gone in seconds. I’ve not quite done a week yet as a non smoker but all you smokers/ex smokers out there can testify that it’s a long time without a cigarette when you’re on at least 20 a day. Today is my 6th day as a non smoker and for the first time I’ve gone throughout the day without a single pang or craving.
Thank you so much. Me and my husband are now saving £70 per week – that’s a hell of a lot of money. We’ve cancelled holidays in the past because we couldn’t afford them but carried on smoking. Stupid!!!!! Not anymore.
Thank you Easyway.

Many, many thanks for your excellent book Easyway! 9 years after my cousin bought it for me, I eventually decided to finish reading the book (fear!!) and “go for it”! It could not have been easier to stop – there was nothing to give up or miss out on! After 25 years of smoking 20-a-day, I just stopped smoking any more cigarettes and never felt even a tinge of loss or sacrifice, or any of the trials and tribulations encouterered when attempting to quit using willpower alone or NRT (I should know having tried varying methods to quit over the years).
I would wholeheartedly recommend Easyway to any smokers who have struggled with willpower method or patches etc!
Nothing could have been easier – an absolute breeze to stop smoking! Easyway is a work of genius which should be the de facto standard method for quitting nicotine addiction.
Many thanks again for helping me escape so easily!

A friend gave me the book telling me that I will quit smoking after reading it. I was really skeptical about this, but i gave it a try. 48 hours later i finished the book and threw my last cigarette.
Happy nonsmoker now!

I escaped the nicotine trap 2 days ago after reading the book. I feel better already. I have smoked 20 cigs a day for 25 years and this is the most positive and Determined I have ever been to be free. The book made me laugh in so many places as I could relate to all the excuses, the feelings of embarrasment and behaviour associated with this addiction. Thanks Allen, for opening my eyes. My husband is reading it now, then the brother-in-laws will be persuaded, and anyone else I can find.

The easy way is the only way!I thought that I was a smoker for life,and am thankful every day that I am free from the evils of smoking! As allen Carr says life is indeed much more enjoyable as a non smoker. I have bought several books for friends and family and tell anyone who will listen of the wonderful easyway. Thank You sincerely.

I have smoked 20 a day for over 20 years. I gave up using Allen’s method 2 year’s ago for 4 mths but like a few of us forgot one of the golden rules ‘one lead’s to many’. Finally picked up Allen’s book again after spending the last 2 years convincing myself I enjoyed smoking. Knowing it was so easy last time makes me so much more confident and know I am reminded of the con and lies we have been fed I feel even more confident. In fact I am looking afford to those feelings when I really know the monster is dying. I am glad you have left such a lasting legacy to us all.
From a vey happy non smoker.

I went to the Thames lodge Staines Middx UK for the Clinic appox 6 weeks ago.(I smoked 20 a day) I thought is was a bit strange being sent out for cig breaks all day and when i left i felt no different and suspected it was all rubbish. Well all i can say is i have not smoked, i have not craved or wanted to smoke. I have not had to use will power. I am happy to be around people who smoke and not feel tempted in any way. I feel re programed stress free and a happy non smoker. The clinic is easy and also made stopping so easy. Thank you so much my children are delighted. Why the NHS do not team up with Allen Carr is beyond me. Michelle. R from Staines.

Hi, approx. 2 years ago I borrowed my friend’s easyway book and read maybe 3/4’s of it. I found it pretty hard to get into as I was not too sure that I wanted to give up smoking.
Then approx. 8 weeks ago I bought the dvd. I have not had a smoke since watching the 1 hour dvd. It was SO easy to give up smoking, so much easier than I thought it would be.
Oh yes, there have been times when I have craved for a cigarette but I know that just one smoke WILL hurt me. I do not miss smoking and I have no desire to ever smoke again.
I highly recommend anyone, who wishes to be a non smoker, to watch this dvd.

I red allen carr’s book in 2001.after a friend, also a chainsmoker had quit, and i wanted to know how. she mentioned the book, i got it from the library, being a mother full of shame, pushing my 3 kids out of the way, closing the door so i was able to smoke. i red it in 3 days, i stopped never smoked since. Told my husband about the book got it for him in englisch, he’s a jordy, he stopped. told the girls i drive with to work, bought them the book as a present, they red it and stopped. they told their friends, they red it and stopped. This goes on and on. allen carr nor only saved my live but also changed my live with my children.
so when my husband was gaining more weight, and diets didn’t work he saw one day a book written by, ofcourse allen carr.
Bought the book, red it never ate meat since, no chickencurry’s he loved, no englisch breakfasts etc, Allen carr devinately left his mark on this world

Thanks to the Allen Carr's Easyway therapist at the clinic (Sam) who has shown me the light!! Thanks for the gift of enabling me to not be a smoker any longer. It has been a challenge getting here but I am so happy to have left it all behind. I think the first visit left me being over confident but now I am cautious but confident that it is all behind me. br />Go well with this course, it is so a good plan for a better life. On the basis life is great anyway; add to it by giving up the weed!!

I gave up smoking (quite unplanned actually) on August 26th, 2007, after watching your DVD.
I had been a smoker since summer 1984 and had read your book in 1996, but was not ready to quit then.
It turns out that nine-and-a-half months ago, I was!
Can’t think of ANY other way to quit.
Thanks you guys! And for whoever is reading this to find encouragement to stop: If you’re really ready, it’s REALLY easy!

After reading Easyway I’ve broken my addiction to nicotine after 32 years of 20 cigarettes per day.
I wish I’d read the book 32 years ago, but better late then never. I’ve had some pangs, but easily overcome using Allen’s philosophy.
I’ve previously tried plain willpower and “nicotine replacement therapy”, (where the nicotine is replaced with nicotine e.g gum, inhalers etc) neither worked.
Great book, really gave me the tools to end my nicotine slavery myself.

After 16 years of smoking I have discovered that not smoking is much more interesting! Never thought the book would work on me, but IT DID!

Absolutely incredible is what I have to say!
As a smoker of 36 years, and wanting desperately for the last 20 of those years to be an ex-smoker, I struggled to stop and used patches, zyban, etc etc and could not even THINK about stopping without crying…
Well, I am SOOOOOO happy to report that I stopped smoking alright! My last cig was Monday Sept 10th 2007 in the parking lot of a Tim Hortons, coffee in hand, cig in the other and 10 pages of the book to read. Well, I finished at 8:45am and that was my last cig…it truly was easy and absolutely pleasurable – I can hardly believe it.
The combination was cracked for me – I am so grateful to Mr Carr and his method.
I purchased the book for a long-time friend who had the same track record and desire to stop as I – and he too has stopped for ever.
I can’t say enough about the book – I tell everyone about it – and those around me still can’t believe I have stopped! Sometimes I pinch myself! It is truly remarkable.
What a lifesaver Mr Carr is…blessings to his family and RIP Mr Carr – you are so loved here on earth – we won’t ever forget you!!! xoxoxox Carol

Well after 30 years of 40 cigs per day, not giving up when I was pregnant, nor when my father passed away with lung cancer, I am finally a non-smoker. thanks to Allen Carr’s Easyway one day seminar. I am still on cloud nine, 8 weeks after the even, not once have I wanted or craved a cig, no withdrawal just lots of smiles. The best thing is not only have I got my life back, but I am not a reformed smoker walking around with my soapbox. I had two friends stay with me for a week, both smokers, and I had no probs sitting having a drink with them whilst they smoked, nor was I ever tempted to even pick up a cig. Pretty good for a 30 year drug addiction. So I KNOW THIS WORKS. Thank you for my life.

I’ve just stopped for the 2nd time with Allen Carr. My first attempt went belly-up when I forgot the “no such thing as one cigarette” rule after 5 months. This time I used the book and, although not as easy or quick, it’s done the job. I also had to force myself to finish reading it and now I’m once again one of those painfull “holier than thou” ex-smokers although I can empathise with those TERRIFIED smokers. If you’re thinking about it, buy the book. No-one will know if you decide to keep smoking after reading it.

My daughter told me about Allan Carr’s book. I finally purchased the book after about 3 months of nagging. I had been a smoker for 20 years and tried to quit several times to no avail. I would be so frustrated and finally would break down and buy a pack. It has been six months since I read the book and I can honestly tell you I would never smoke again. I have no desire for a cigarette, even if someone is smoking by me. It was the easiest thing to quit ever. Thank you.

Dear Natalie Clays
First and foremost I would like to thank Allen Carr for saving my life and, hopefully, thank you in advance for saving the lives of the people I love.
I am 27 years of age and I have smoked since I was 15. That’s 12 long years of being conned into the trap!
I stopped smoking and released my self from the trap on the 25th February 2008. I have completed 3 wonderful months of nicotine free euphoria. I also know for a fact that I will never smoke ever again and it’s all thanks to Allen Carr’s EASYWAY TO STOP SMOKING.
I was saddened to hear of Allen’s passing, my thoughts and regards go to his family and friends. He has saved the lives of millions of people and exposed the scandal of today’s society that smoking really is. I recently read Allen’s posthumous book Scandal and agreed with every single word of it. I have no doubt that Allen’s work will continue long after his tragic death.
Thank you Allen Carr

This is for the relatives of Allen:
I’m 21 years old i started smoking at 15 and ruined my life.At that time i had the opportunity to do selections for the national team of rugby.Whit the time i came more stress i had to leve the opportunities cause the training were to difficult for me.
I was always tired.As a result i started to play in a lower team,very bad,and whit no lust..so i broke my leg cause i was not capable to stay concentrated.After one year and a half i started to play again and i tried to stop a lot of times to smoke but everything was always more difficult.I finished the higher school and started the uni.But something inside me broke.I started to hate me cause my inattitude to stop smoking.How could i resolve the problem in my life if i wasen’t even able to stop smoking?I let me down,i grew of 20 kg becoming fat.But now I’m a happy non smoker.When i finished the last cigarette i started to laugh and the the laugh became a cry.My tears broke the dam in me and i felt life again.
You’re death but your work will garant you immortality.
I’ve never met you but ilet me tell that i love.You give hope.You give happynes.You give life.Now i’m sure i can resolve the other problems.

I have smoked 20-30 a day for the past 10 years. I am only 32 years old. I had a terrible cough but thought that I really enjoyed smoking – so why would I quit? I was given a lot of self help books when I did a life skills correspondence course about 7 years ago. I finally cleaned out my book case and came across Allen’s book Easy way to Stop Smoking. I read it and I became a non- smoker, just like that. I never believed it could be so easy. I have never felt better and happier. Now my book is in hot demand with most of my family and friends.

I was a smoker for 16 years and tried many times to quit using patches, gum, lozenges and the fake plastic cigarette and none of these methods worked for me, I always returned to smoking after a short spell of going out my mind and punishing myself and everyone round me, easyway is the only way, I cannot believe I am a non smoker and found it so easy when previous attempts were absolute torture. The governments of the world should open their eyes and ears and start implementing this method if they truly want to help people stop smoking or maybe they make too much money from smokers for them to really want the problem sorted, if so they should really be ashamed. I know I will never smoke again, thank you Allen Carr.

Thanks Allen, read your book and stopped smoking soon after; no withdrawals or side effects as was the case following past (failed) attempts to stop.
Each evening I would ‘take you to bed’, for an installment of what was actually an entertaining book!!
Has been over five years and have not had a single urge to even try another puff, quite the opposite in fact.
On behalf of myself and those dearest to me, thanks.

I read the Allen Carr Easyway book about 12 months ago after i had been recommended it by a friend whom it had worked for.
I was quite excited about the prospect of being a non smoker but as all of us are i was concerned about that inbetween stage.
Disapointingly it did not work for me, i felt the same as with my previous attempts.
After another 12 months i finally did as the book had said and re-read the whole book, in the hopes that it would work for me as it had so many other people and it was just that something had not jelled in my mind.
I must say that it has been 2 days now and i know this is not a long time but it is the best i’ve ever done. when i have ‘given up’ previously i have continued to have one or two a day but have found this unnecessary.
I feel better already and hope it will continue.

I had smoked for 25+ years about a pack ½ pr day. Now I am smoke free over 3 months of freedom from the nasty addiction. I do not feel like I am missing out on anything in quitting this time. This is the longest I have ever quit after many many failed attempts over the past 5 years!
It worked for me and it can work for you too.

I just want to thank you so much. I finished the book yesterday, had my last smoke and I knew that would be it. I am so grateful for your book. It all just fell into place, no cravings, no need or desire to smoke. One of the girls at work gave up through willpower (or should I say is trying) she has cravings, chews gum and is not at all happy, and that has been going on for a week. I do think about smoking, but I just remind myself of how wonderful it is not to be addicted to that terrible nicotine anymore.
I can not thank you enough, honestly.

i’ve been trapped by nicotine addiction since i was eleven years old. i am now forty two years old and free at last thanks to reading easyway. the revelation that smoking is a cynical tax tool used by our governements who tolerate the drug peddling tobacco companies helped me break free this time. the ineffective health camaigns and warnings are merely there to protect the death dealers from law suits. state sponsored genocide for financial gain. thank you for opening my eyes and helping me escape.

Hi there, i just want to announce that i was given the Easyway to stop smoking book by my wife as she was concerned about my smoking. I read it and after 35 years of being an addict I can now say that I am a non smoker and it feels fantastic. It was so easy i never imagined i could stop. Its one month now and i know that i will not need to puff or want another cigarrete.
I do get the occasional pang, but after reading the book , you know what to do when you get the feeling.
I have now decided that instead of anything else i will buy my loved ones the bOOK FOR THEIR BIRTHDAY OR CHRISTMAS. Or persuade them to buy it them selves.
It is the first time since i was 14 that i have experienced life without smoke or nicotine around me. I must say the feeling is non comparable.
Highly recommend to all smokers do it and you will feel freedom.
good luck

In June 2005 my partner and I attended an Allen Carr session in Oxford. We’d both been committed smokers for over 15 years and had never really tried to stop smoking before. It would be fair to say that I smoked about 30 cigarettes a day and thought I enjoyed every single one of them. The thought of stopping filled me with dread. How would I ever enjoy a glass of wine or a meal in a restaurant again! If I stopped I would quite obviously never be able to go into a pub again or have a cup of coffee.
That day in June arrived and I remember pulling up outside the hotel where the session was going to be held. I told my other half that I couldn’t go through with it and that I’d wait in the car for her. The session was set to last for about 5 hours but at that point the fear of not being able to smoke again was overwhelming. I was gently, yet sternly persuaded to follow Tracey into the lobby. I wrote out my check for £200 and sat down to await this miracle cure. To say I was sceptical was an understatement. How could I be persuaded by Kim Bennett, who I’d never met before, to stop smoking? She was claiming to be able to do this in an afternoon, in spite of family and friends trying to convince me for years.
I sat through the session, and went out for smoke breaks with the rest of the class as was permitted. Slowly throughout the day the myths surrounding smoking and why I smoked were broken down by Kim and exposed for what they were, myths. I didn’t need a cigarette to enjoy a meal; smoking destroys your taste buds. In a stressful situation having a cigarette will only increase the stress, not relax you. Non smokers enjoy a pint in a pub, so why couldn’t` I without a cigarette. During the session the health and financial implications of smoking were taken as read. Everyone knows they are expensive and most smokers agree they’ll probably kill you in the end. What the session did for me was to make me realise that I was not giving anything up by stopping smoking, I was gaining so much. I would smell nicer, be able to taste food and wine better, not have a car that smelt of an ashtray, not wheeze when I climbed the stairs, not panic if I see that my packet of cigarettes was running low, and not base practically every action and task in my life around cigarette breaks.
I can’t explain how Kim did it, but by the end of the session I threw away my packet of Marlboro Lights and went home. That night I went out to our local restaurant and enjoyed the best tasting seafood risotto and bottle of Chianti and have never looked back since.

After spending eight years of my life being a slave to cigarettes I decided enough was enough and listened to the Easyway audiobook. That was nine months ago and I have not looked back since. I started back at the gym, which was not easy as my fitness levels were dreadul for a 25 year old, the result of smoking 30 a day for too long. Yesterday I ran my first marathon in a respectable time of 4 hours and 9 minutes and despite a few aches I feel on top of the world. I owe it all to Easyway and fell that I have been given a brighter future. Thank you Mr Carr, your legacy lives on.

I have just put out my last cigarette. I’m new. But the comments I read here brought tears to my eyes. I know I’m done. For the first time I know I’m done and they’re tears of joy. So all your comments make me feel like they say “welcome aboard! Aboard the ship of winners that is!” :D I’m 24 and been smoking for about 8 years and a half.
Thank you, Allen!

I bought the easy way Compact disc
and put it on my ipod and took a long walk and listened to it over a few days.
How amazing that you can stop just like that!
My health and energy levels have just sky rocketed.
And the mental freedom, now that I don’t let myself fall into the previous traps, is so invigorating.
Eternally grateful.

After having the Easyway to stop smoking book for 9 years, I finally read it and stopped smoking on 12th February this year and I have not looked back. As Allen said, it was easy and enjoyable. I thought I could never stop – I am convinced I have an addictive personality, yet I managed to stop smoking easily after 19 years of mid to heavy smoking.
Thank you for an amazing book – I am recommending it to everyone. I live in Turkey where 40% of adults smoke and have bought the DVD in Turkish for my sister in law and her husband – I hope they’ll watch it.

Dear Allen,
I quit smoking thanks to your book. I read it in two days and it helped me a lot. In fact, it saved me from my addiction and my fear of leaving it.
Moreover, I suffered anorexy for some years, and my greater fear was the increase of weight. But you have opened my mind, and now I know I do not need substitutes, but to think I’m free.

If you truly want to become a non-smoker and you are not skeptical and are able to read this book with an open mind – this book will work for you. I am 36 years old and smoked for the last 15 years – even after being a non-smoker for only 4 weeks I feel healthier then I can ever remember. It really was the easiest thing I have ever done!!!!! I know I will never smoke again and I reccommend this book at every possible opportunity. Thanks Allen!!!!!

Went along to an EasyWay clinic on Friday 25th April. Went with an open mind and alot of apprehension!
Its now Tuesday 29th and I haven’t had a smoke! I have thought about smoking but I just tell myself that I’m a non-smoker and the feeling quickly passes.
I’ve smoked for nearly 30 years and have tried to quit b4 using various willpower methods, all with no success just alot of stress.
I am so calm this quit, no stress, no cravings, no anger or tears.
Allen Carr has been the best thing thats ever happened to me!

Are you kidding me??? This is absolute genius! Before I came to the end of the book I was already a non-user of nicotine after approximately 18 years of devoted love of the nasty poison.

I started smoking 3 months after my 12th birthday. I quit smoking 4 weeks ago today, 4 months before my 46th birthday.
It took a while to get Allen’s message to be a part of my belief system (I read the book 3 times), but it is firmly ingrained and I couldn’t be happier. It was a learning process for me.
This quit (my 4th) has been easier than any other. Why? Because I changed my attitude towards smoking. Thanks to Allen and his book. It really does make perfect sense.
I may be slow on the uptake, but as of right now: I have been Free and Healing for Twenty Seven Days, 18 Hours and 29 Minutes, while extending my life expectancy 1 Day and 1 Hour, by avoiding the use of 305 cigarettes that would have cost me $122.33.
Thank you Allen!

If only I had heard about Easyway 20 years ago. I have been trying for that long to cut down/give up. I thought it was impossibly hard and that I was an addict.
Having read the book – it was easy and I haven’t worried about smoking since. I am spreading the word amongst other smokers I know.
Thank you Allen – I’m now reading Scandal – about why a method which works is largely ignored by the “powers that be”!

It is completely outrageous that your book is not featured front page on every publication and health journal about smoking.
I smoked from the age of 12, and got through an average of 30-40 a day for almost 25 years, and much more at weekends.
After reading your book four times I finally quit smoking on Sunday 13th January 2008. Even more remarkable is the fact that with your help, I was able to quit smoking whilst going through the stress of placing my company into liquidation.
At the age of 43 I am absolutely, totally penniless, but on the other hand, I can breathe deeply without causing a coughing fit and I dont make myself physically sick coughing and spluttering in the mornings!
I am another example disproving the illusion that smoking helps cope with stress. I have gone through the most stressful time of my life and quit smoking without any problem whatsoever. Now I know I can achieve anything in life..
My message to smokers reading this..
..Quit smoking, think young, be beautiful, live your dreams!
Heartfelt thanks to Allen Carr for helping me reclaim my life.

I have finally finished the book! I had two previous attempts where I got half way through, panicked, and hid it under the bed, but on the 3rd attempt I got to the end and smoked my last cigarette last night. I know it's still early days but I feel great at the moment have stocked up on lots of water & fresh veg and I'm genuinely excited at the prospect of being a healthy non-smoker. At 24 I'd already written myself off as a failure or told myself I'd quit when I have a baby, but I feel brilliant now I've stopped putting it off. And I smell amazing!

Tomorrow marks four weeks of being an ex-smoker for me after 13 years of hell being a nictine addict.
I’ve owned the AC Easyway book for three years but only finished it – yep FOUR weeks ago !!
Wonderful book, full of common sense. I feel completely free of the nicotine trap and the fear of the damage I did myself.
BUT I can empathasise with Allens plight in spreading the word. I felt so euphoic and couldn’t wait to tell other smokers how easy it is! But it’s a hostile world out there. Even ex-smokers (who still pine for their old friend the cigarette) can’t stand to hear about it and think i’m weird, preachy and (on one website) a ‘spammer’!. Take that as a compliment….
See if I care then, i’m free!
RIP Allen, and to the rest of the team – keep up the great work. I am so happy I don’t have to smoke anymore!

Dear Everyone
It’s two months since I quit the Easyway and I’m happy to say that I rarely think about it now. I actually logged on to look at the Easyweigh to Lose Weight!! Well, why not!
I had tried using the willpower method before and failed miserably. I told myself I would give up either when I became pregnant or when I hit 30. When I became pregnant at age 25 I quit for about 6 weeks during the morning sickness period when I couldn’t bear to smoke – you’d think after 6 weeks the desire to smoke would have gone but as soon as I could bear it I smoked again. I got pregnant again at 30 – my second milestone! But after 12 weeks of morning sickness I started again, telling myself it ‘wasn’t the right time’, I shouldn’t put myself under that sort of stress whilst I was pregant. My partner quit with an NHS stop smoking clinic and ironically, his advisor told him that I was right, I couldn’t really stop whilst pregnant as the NRT’s couldn’t be prescribed!! Excellent, I thought, validation!! He started again seven months later. My daughter is now 18 months old and I visited the stop smoking nurse, she was awful and obviously hadn’t smoked a cigarette in her life. She gave me patches and told me she was there if I needed her. I put a patch on that evening after the kids were in bed and told myself that was it. By noon the next day I was ready to kill myself, I knew I couldn’t smoke anymore and it was killing me. I called the stop smoking nurse and asked for an Inhalator, thinking if i had something to put in my mouth it would help. I wasn’t craving a cigarette, I just couldn’t stop thinking, I’ll do this and then have a fag, I’ll have a fag and then I’ll do the dishes, it was driving me mental. The nurse wouldn’t give me an Inhalator, said it wouldn’t do me any good. By tea time I was ready to kill everyone. It hadn’t even been 24 hours. I was crying, I was screaming. I managed to get out to karate class after tea, that helped, pretending to punch stuff! After that I went to my friend’s house, who coincidentally had given up smoking over a year ago using the Easyway. She listened to my difficulties and prescribed the book!! I read it in three days, ripped off the patch, got in the shower and didn’t look back!!!!
I did have a couple of doubts, thinking that nothing this easy could work permanently. I kept looking at the Quit Meter on the PC and congratulating myself on a job well done, but feeling a bit like a fraud because it hadn’t been much of a job, just a few hours reading. Three weeks ago (ish) I was out, drunk and had a row, and a bit of a cigarette, mostly to hit out. It was awful. I threw it away after a couple of drags, hating it and myself. The next day I knew that was it for me and the dreaded weed, I spent a few hours beating myself up and then moved on I don’t even bother with the quitmeter now, it’s immaterial. I’m more sure than ever now and it’s all thanks to Allen. Thank you so much for freeing me!!!
I just wish my partner and my mum would have a read, me and my friend are like born again non-smokers, going on and on about the virtues of the ‘good book’!! If only the NHS advisors could be the same. I told the other nurse at my surgery and she took a few notes but she won’t tell anyone about it, well maybe friends but not in a professional capacity I just know it. Such a shame.

Many thanks to the Italian Lady (husband from Dublin)I met on the train to Stansted and her convicton in Easyway. I bought the book the day after our conversation. My husband read it 2 days later and 4 and a half months later is still off them. This is after 15 years of trying to give up and almost 40 years of smoking.

I was on my eighth day of nicotine patches when a friend gave me Allen Carr’s book. I wish I’d heard about it years before! I read it the next weekend and used my patch as my final cigarette. I was as relieved to be free of the patches as much the cigarettes, having tried to stop smoking with them umpteen times and failed the moment the patches were finished. I know for sure I won’t smoke again. Like many others here, I can’t explain the power of the messages to get rid of any cravings but I think it’s fair to say that in the five weeks since I quit nicotine, I haven’t had one crave of any significance whatever and I have been truly elated to live life as a non-smoker, jogging and cycling and getting my fitness back after too many years. I had far worse cravings with the patches on! I know this time it’s for real and it’s forever. It’s a bit spooky but it works! I think it’s because it’s all just so positive. Thank you Allen Carr! Two days after I “escaped” I was truly gutted to hear he had died 18 months ago, I so wanted to write and thank him for what seems like a miracle.

Thank you Allen (RIP) and all those who actively promote the Easyway method! I stopped smoking thanks to the book, and I know I will never put another cigarette in my mouth.
I have always known that the only way for me to stop smoking was to conquer the idea that I actually enjoyed it. The book helped me to realise this truth and guide me through how to go about stopping.
My mum works for the Dorset Healthcare initiative ‘SmokeStop’ and it infuriates me that the NHS dosupport the Easyway method and actively condone the use of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT). I will be doing my best in lobbying the NHS and trying to reverse this counter-productive method.
Your book is now the staple birthday present for all my smoker friends.
Thank you again.

Thanks Sam.
I attended the London clinic in January, once with my partner and then subsequently on my own. I initially failed because of the fear of success, almost my whole family smoke and have smoking related illnesses, my sister was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer shortly after I attended the clinic, I felt it would undermine the severity of their illnesses should I succeed in quitting so easily and I felt guilty.
However I stopped smoking easily and I rarely even think about it now except with regret for my family and relief that I have a chance to escape this fate. I also don’t count the days, hours since quitting etc because I don’t smoke and never will again. I did not have a ‘moment of revelation’ as such, just 20 less things to worry about every day, 24 hours a day.
My partner still smokes, he still thinks he gets some form of pleasure from it. This had always been my stumbling block on previous occasions, with other methods, as I felt deprived and jealous if he continued to smoke, which he always did. Not so with Easyway, I feel free as I know the truth. I hope he does soon if my daughter is to have any siblings (the smell), but he may take some time to come around.
I have donated one copy of the book to my dearest smoking friend and left a further used copy in my doctors surgery smoking clinic waiting room in the hope it will catch on there.
Thanks again for giving my little girl her Mummy back and for my future.

Briefly…...I read the book in 2006 and ENJOYED stopping (at the end of the book) my 33 years of torture. Towards the end of last year, I made the stupid mistake of smoking a cigar. I was soon back to a packet of cigarettes per day, and then 30 a day.
Three weeks ago, I read the book again, and was VERY relieved that it was just as easy and enjoyable to stop smoking for a second time.
Imagine a book that could save your life…
Thank God for Allen Carr!!!

It really is easy – I stopped last night (3 April) at 10pm. It is the second time I have used Allan’s book because I failed on the instruction “there’s no such thing as one cigarette”. I know how great I felt last time I stopped and that has really helped this time round as I never want to feel as down as I did when I smoked. Thank you Allan – I know you are watching over me.

I have been meaning to post for some time now….in December 2007 I was told by a Doctor that I had to quit. At that time I had smoked for 19.5 years and considered myself a ‘confirmed’ smoker who ‘enjoyed’ smoking.
But something in me had changed and I knew I had to stop no matter what. I was frightened of doing so.
To cut a long story short….I would not have done it without Mr Carr’s book. I recommend it to every smoker I know – and even smokers I don’t know! This is my 80th smokefree day – and I feel wonderful to be FREE. Thank you Mr Carr – God bless you; I know it would have made you so happy to see the growing list of thank-you messages on this website.
THANK YOU dear man. x

Day before yesterday @5 in the evening, I extinguished the final cigarette of my life!
This is/was not one of the routine resolutions I make and break on a daily-basis. This was final. I have a pack of cigarette lying in my bedroom. Never felt like having one since I quit. The real “difference” in this particular resolution was “I didn’t quit smoking” BUT “I overcame the smoking trap”. Thanks to Alan Carr and his book “Easy way to quit smoking”.
Some books does make differences. Lately, I read quite a few books that had a fine impression on me. And Alan Carr’s book is one of it. Such is his method. The introductory passage reveals one of the worst smoker’s I have seen/heard of in my life, who happens to be the author of the book. He managed to cut smoking from hundred/day to zero/day in a day. A hypnotist made this possible he says, but that didn’t make up the proper reasoning. His further research on his self materialized into this novel effort, which has saved millions of smokers as claimed.
Its tough to realize if one could make his fortune so easily but his Easyway® clinics are now located worldwide and this book has already seen millions of copies. He was a selfless man, as he reveals in the last paras of the book with a mission to cure people with a disease which almost killed him by a method very much his own.
Shortly after being a non-smoker, having finished his book, I read his biography. Frankly, I wanted to thank him. Unfortunately, he’s no more. The news read he met death due to lung cancer. He had to pay off for the smoke he accumulated over years but he had no confessions. But, in spite of knowing this fact, he spent his non-smoking days in his smoke-filled clinics (he asked patients to quit smoking only after done with consultation- so he says in the book). Was he a saint or a crack? I don’t know but one thing is for sure, and Alan Carr would agree with me here:
Smokers are strong people with high willpowers (but not vice versa :)).
Thinking on what made me quit, I can list out the following reasons:
1. I read the book with a mindset of quitting smoking (Well-preparedness)
2. Realization of the truth of “nicotine addiction”- the “withdrawal pangs”. (Brainwash)
I feel as if recovering out of a disease. Each day, every hour is better than before, and I am no longer “surviving without cigarettes” but “coming out of smoking trap”. The phrase made the difference. Thanks again Alan!

I went to the Glasgow session on 23rd Feb this year and smoked my LAST cigarette at about 12.45.
I don’t know how the course worked as i read the book years ago and although i stopped for a few days, i started again (can’t remember why). All i know is that several pennies just dropped and my understanding of the whole stop smoking process has kicked in and i now loath the whole smoking/nicotine replacement industry.
(Does anyone else think it is their “mission” to try to help others to stop now or is that just me? :-)
Anyway it is just over 1 month and while i realise that this is nothing after being a smoker for almost 30 years i KNOW that i will never smoke again.
The scary thing is i am 43 and can’t even remember what it is like being a non smoker as it was so long ago, all i can do now is look forward to life as a non smoker.
Good luck to everyone else who has stopped (although “luck” doesn’t have anything to do with it).

My wife read the book and stopped smoking before she was even done. she was so happy and really seemed at peace, with no signs of craving, i wondered what the “gimmick” was. so i started reading it out of curiosity, but i told her firmly, i would not be quitting so soon after my latest attempt; i just wasn’t ready. well, i read all the way to the end. i’m now a happy non-smoker, even though i “wasn’t ready to quit.” the book is THAT good.

Hi,
friend of my suggested the Easyway book to me. I was getting ready to go on vacation to Cuba, and looking forward to smoking everywhere! On the other hand I wanted to quit smoking again ( yes I did it for three years and than started again). I bought the book, and read it while laying on the beach. My friends were laughing at me since I had this book in my hand saying Easyway to quit smoking an I had a cigarete in the other hand! When I had my final cigarete I didn’t make a big deal, or said anything to anyone. They didn’t even notice I am not smoking until late that night, after dinner. They did laugh at me, and one said: “O common you don’t even smoke much” I just smiled at her, and said nothing.I knew in my heart that I don’t need to explain anything. Last time when I quit smoking I would go into debate about why I quit and how good it feels, I guess I tried to convince myself more than the other person.
After reading the book, I am confident that I don’t want to smoke ever again, and I feel great.
I just wanted to say Thank you!
Gordana

I have smoked 40-50 a day for over 40 years. In September last year my wife’s sister lent me the book, which I had never heard of before. I started reading it at 2.30 pm and by 9.00 pm when I finished it,I was a non smoker. if anyone had told me this was possible, I would have called them a liar! Since then i have not had a cigarette, and have no interest in them. I can stand beside a smoker and have no cravings at all. I do not believe I will ever smoke again.

Excellent group session in Brighton, thank you Sam and the Allen Carr’s Easyway team. I must say I was sceptical, although feeling positive about giving up, wasn’t sure the session had worked for me.
However, 4 days later and still a non-smoker, after 18 years of 20 a day, the penny has now dropped and the realisation of the success of Allen Carr’s method has brought a smile to my face. I’m still not quite sure how it worked, but it has and I look forward to the rest of my life as a non smoker as I was before my first cigarette, shame I can’t be 18 again :-).
Thanks
James

After 10 years of smoking a pack a day, I quit smoking and have not had a cigarette in a year. Allen Carr’s system shows you how the addiction is much smaller than you think!

Dear Mr. Allen Carr;
I was a smoking Turkish citizen 10 days ago.. I found your book in the biggest book store of our country and my girlfriend gave it as a gift to me.. I was a hard smoker I was nearly eating my cigars while smoking them.. I never thought I could give up..
As you’ve told us in your book “I wasn’t so excited to read your book” but I did one night and only the foreword made my brain work.. I read till 5 am that night and the book was over and I was in my bed smoking my last one and giving up.. I was excited and very happy that I could finally give the good news to my girlfriend..
.. I made my friends read your book and 7 people I recruited till now :)) I will continue making people non-smokers.. Thank you a lot again..

After watching the dvd I realised that the worst part of quitting smoking is the fear before you give up. Even though I felt some physical withdrawal, the dvd gave me the tools to break my psychological addiciton. After 10 years I’m finally a non-smoker!

Hi Allen
It’s over three years now since I read your book & stopped smoking, and I am very happy that I did. It has been the platform for a more positive, happy, and successful approach to life for me. It’s like stepping out from a shadow and discovering a freedom you only dreamed of.
One thing I’d like to mention though, because it may be of interest to you, is that I had to read the book twice. I read it once, stopped smoking, felt good, but after a couple of weeks a very close family member died and the stress kicked in. In the end I found myself standing outside the family home after the funeral in the cold, surrounded by about 7 friends & family, most of whom were smoking, and I gave in & started again. I felt bad, but decided there and then that in a couple of months, once the main grief had passed, I’d read the book again. Which is what I did, and a little over three months after the funeral I stopped smoking again and this time it stuck.
I think the message might be that occasionally unforseen & extremely trying events can hit a new non-smoker early in the piece, but that a second attempt with a fresh mind (accepting that the event, whatever it was, was a genuine piece of bad timing)can work just fine.
Hope this is of interest or use to you, and thank you very much for your words and sense, it has changed my life for the better.

I quit 12 years ago after reading Allen Carr’s book. The idea that inspired me most went something like this: everytime a smoker smokes a cigarette they are trying to get into the state non smokers are in all the time! WOW – imagine that! Smoking doesn’t help me think, doesn’t help me concentrate, doesn’t keep me slim, all it does is satisfy the nicotine addiction so that for a few minutes each time I lit up, I was feeling like a non-smoker! Non smokers go through life not craving, not needing to smoke, I wanted that more than anything. And I quit! I have never smoked another cigarette, and I never will. I have no desire to, and each time I think about how I used to smoke, I thank my lucky stars for Allen Carr.

attended session in Edinburgh last sunday (9 March) didn’t know what to expect and at the end didn’t feel anything – but I do know that when I left I really was a non-smoker! I cant believe it-I am so happy, have tried so many times, each time I couldnt wait to fail so that I could have a cigarette again-this time I have absolutely no desire to fail or have a ciggie. It is a wonderful feeling knowing that I wont smoke again-Thanks a million to Allen Carr and his wonderful method RIP

Dear Allen
Thanks very much for showing me your fantastic way of stopping the dreaded weed.I couldn’t believe how easy it was.I am 49 years old,and had a 60 a day habit.Your book was lying around at work,so I took it home,read half of it,thought it made a lot of sense,but put it to one side.Several months later whilst off work,I started your book at 7 in the morning and by 4.30 in the afternoon,I just never lit another cigarette,and as you say,I enjoyed the experience of quitting.3 months have gone now,and I know that I wont smoke again.I am now passing on your name to all the smokers that I know,a lot of them say,that if I quit,the person who never had one out of his hand,then they could.Thanks again for helping me change my life for the better. All the best Allen Peter Walmsley

I had been smoking for over 30 years (at least 30 a day for the last 8 – 10 years. (In the past I have half heartedly attempted to stop. EVERYTHING the book mentioned, e.g. feelings of deprivation were so trues!! Needless to say none of those attempts worked.
I bought the book in September last year, thinking ‘what harm can it do to read it?’ I then didn’t pick it up till November 2007 and only then because it states you don’t give up smoking whilst reading!!!
Let me say I could NOT carry on smoking all the way through the book and I had my last cig on 30th November 2007.
Eveything that helped me in the book helped me stay off cigarettes through the short period of nicotine withdrawal (which by the way was nowhere near as bad as I had expected!!!)
and on my fridge it still says ‘one more cig will cost me 50,000!!! It’s just a reminder now and it makes me smile at how easy it has been to save all that money!!!
Thank you so very much for giving me back everything I was giving up to stay a smoker.

I attended the clinic in Oxford on March 9th. THANK YOU :-) I can’t believe I ever smoked!! And it’s been such a pleasure – I can taste by food better, I can breathe better, I can kiss my 18mth old daughter goodnight and not worry about the smell – and of course my husband loves it too :-) But the biggest thing is that I really really don’t want or need a smoke – it’s just awesome – no other word for it.
The Easyway method does just what it says on the tin!! Anyone thinking about it – you really must try it. You’ve only got your health to lose. (Seriously!!)
Thank you everyone who was there on Sunday, it was great to meet other people wanting the same thing. Here’s to all you lovely non-smokers! :-) And a big thank you Emma.

I attended an Allen Carr Clinic on 13th January2008 with my partner. We had both been smokers for 18 years. It is now March 12th 2008 and we are still happy non-smokers!! I really cannot believe it and really cannot pinpoint anything in the clinic that made me become a none smoker, but it worked and it has made me want to tell the world about how successful I feel these clinics are to smokers out there. Definately worth every penny spent and worth the freedom that I now feel of being a non smoker.

I bought your book the same day it was recommended to me by my sister, who had against my wildest dreams become a non-smoker. It could not have come at a better time since my boyfriend is scheduled for a smoking related surgery next week. We both read the book immediately and we really enjoyed it. I want to thank you, since we are both non-smokers, we are on day three but KNOW we are done. Thanks, for giving us our life back. I have already made a list of people in my life that I will insists they read your book.

I cannot believe that reading a book can do so much good, I had tried patches, gum, will-power, cutting down and each time I failed. I was inspired with confidence and the idea of success right from page 1 with Alan’s book and recommend it to everyone now. I had my last ciggarette on 14th October 2007 and I feel like I’ve never smoked before. I know I will never have another in my life, and for a 20 a day smoker for 6 years thats a pretty big comment to make.
Thanks Alan!!!

Allen Carr is my hero. My only regret is that I never told him so myself or said thank you to him for changing my life and ensuring my health for the future.
I was fourteen years old when I smoked my first cigarette. After a year or so of hard work I was hooked. Although I never admitted I had a niccotine addiction until I was 25 and ready to stop for good.
To cut a long story short I had owned The Easyway book for two years. I had bought it during one of my stop attempts, read that I should continue smoking whilst reading it, jumped at the opportunity to spark up and then closed the book, not daring to open it again for two years as I was afraid to be a non smoker. The next time I decided to quit I did not smoke whilst reading the book. I finished it three years ago now and have been a happy (sometimes annoying) ex smoker ever since.
I work in healthcare and spread the Allen Carr method as often as I can. Word of mouth and sharing our success stories thanks to Allen will ensure that other smokers can stop for life too.
Thanks, Esther x

I quit smoking using your book and I am very, very thankful. The thought process I underwent helped me make other radical changes in my life and perspective. For example: after quitting smoking at the start of this year I went on a 100% raw food diet. Can you please make The Easy Way to Lose Weight available in Canada? We are part of the Queen’s Commonwealth, after all, so it’s only fair – wouldn’t you say? I have friends who are really fat and they could use this book!

I really want to tell you how easy it was to quit smoking – not the first dozen or so times though, only the last time!
My husband and I read Allen Carr’s Easy Way 20 months ago and haven’t looked back!
The awesomely cool thing is that we aren’t ex smokers, we are NON SMOKERS!
Life is so wonderful since quitting, so much less stress, so much more money, so many more opportunities that once we would have thought we were going to miss out on because we couldn’t stop for that fag.
Highly highly recommend it! And I have lent the CD’s and the book to all my smoker friends and the only one it hasn’t worked on is the one who won’t read it!

I did it, I am a happy non smoker! I am sad Allen Carr is no longer around to thank personally, it is possible that he quite literally has saved my life. NRT didn’t make sense to me, something Allen agrees with, so I went with the willpower method having no other alternative. Allen was right, I felt like I was giving something up, I was miserable and he hit the nail on the head when he said I was waiting for something to happen. How true his words are! I was struggling with the will power method and knew NRT was never going to work for me. I was looking for something, some real help and information, I knew the problem was in my head but no one seemed to understand. That’s when I found the Easy Way book. I share his anger and annoyance that the government support is misguided at best, but I hope that one day, and soon, this will change. Doctors need to stop handing out NRT prescriptions, the government needs to stop those cancer adverts. Give out prescriptions for Allen Carr’s Easy Way book! Send people to his clinics! I hope that one day Allen’s dream will be realised, the world might eventually be rid of smoking. Thank you Mr Carr.

I think Alan Carr’s book is brilliant-mind you, I had to read it twice and then the sequel ‘The only way to stop smoking permanently’- it took some time to sink into my thick skull but now I feel that my eyes have been opened and I haven’t smoked for 4 months. My husband has packed in too, (didnt read the book) but hasnt got the same resolve; we both have cravings, but he just thinks it’s inevitable that he will smoke again. I know I won’t- I dont want to! I feel like a black cloud has been lifted, and I feel like I’m a better parent too. I watched both my parents die of lung cancer and never want my kids to go through that. I want to tell everyone about this because relying on nicorette doesnt work! You have to change the way you think about smoking first- and the rest will follow. Cant help sounding a bit righteous about it, it comes with the elation of getting shut of tobacco forever!

Dear Easyway,
This is a miracle. I smoked for 8 years and after Easyway I have been smoke and nicotine free for 8 months now.
This is my story with Easyway as a book.
I inadvertently stumbled across an Easyway book in a chain book store in my hometown.
Remembering my mother said that she had seen an actor talk about such a method on a late night program, I bought it and read it with hope in my heart and at a nonchalant pace while I continued to smoke.
When I finished the book, the tears rolled down my cheeks as I breathed in and out the soot and poison of my last cigarette. As I put it out I sobbed for what had been a vile and disgusting habit of smoking for those 8 years and I haven’t looked back.
How very lucky I am to have found this or I’d still be smoking today.
Thank you! Thank you! for saving my life. Words don’t seem to describe the joy that I feel in being a non-smoker.
I feel as though I can accomplish other healthy habits as a result of my success with Easyway.
I am so grateful for the help you have given me. With Easyway hopefully the smoking addiction will fade away into the distant past for mankind.
Good luck in your all your work and the fight against the organizations that try to keep you down for this is truly an amazing method. Bless you all.

I started to read the book many years ago after my mother stopped smoking as a result of reading it. I attended however a clinic session here in Brussels and walked out an ex-smoker.
I learned nothing that I didn’t already know – deep down… but what the clinic did was to put everything in the correct perspective without making me feel an utter fool or knocking my confidence further. I was offered a way of managing the fall-out from stopping smoking and the experience since then has been as the group facilitator described.
I left the clinic not wanting to smoke but feeling a bit scared all the same. What the clinic did was expose my addiction for what it was, and then it equipped me to deal with that in a way that left me not feeling deprived at all.
I did buy the book (updated since the first edition that I had read many years ago and not completed) just to run through it all again. My decision to investigate the clinic angle was thanks to a visit to a friend in Australia – he was an even more hardened smoker than I (at worst, I probably racked up 40 a day – at the time of stopping i was a packet a day girl – Ray was more a 60 a day man before he stopped). I wanted to know how he stopped and if he found it difficult. he explained that he attended a Carr clinic in Melbourne and walked out a happy ex-smoker. I was impressed and remembered that my mother had stopped by reading the book – she has stayed stopped for 20 years!
I feel optimistic about staying stopped – I do not avoid smokers now – neither do I wish to join them in a cigarette. Gum always made me feel like I was about to go into cardiac arrest – because of that I didn’t even want to try patches. In any case I didn’t feel that I had any amount of will power, and I really didn’t think I could do it at all.
This method does what is says on the packet!!! My friends – smokers and non-smokers alike – are fascinated.
I am really happy and would be very pleased if this approach would work on my sister. She has been on the patches and the gum off and on for several years, and still can’t kick the ciggies. I’m going to give her the opportunity to attend a clinic in Edinburgh. I think this might work for her.

If you are reading this as you’ve heard of Allen Carr and his method and are wondering ‘whether it’s worth trying’ and you’ve tried stopping smoking before and failed, then like me, you need to read his book properly and understand it. Some people fail because they don’t take to reading a book in which case, it might be better to watch the DVD instead if that might help. Allen’s book has without doubt been a lifesaver for me and I hope others will have the same success and be able to look back in years to come and be glad they did it. Lesson over, now get that book!!!!

I stopped smoking easily about halfway through the book haha, I kept reading the book anyway to make sure I wouldn’t go back and there is no chance of that. I have never felt better in my life.
Unfortunately my partner has tried hypnotherapy and a number of other quit methods, he still smokes a couple of packs a day, but I’m still hopeful he’ll make the change.

However, I must testify: the method worked, it was easy to stop. I am still a no smoker. I never suffered for stopping. And I cannot understand why I smoked before. Thank you Allen… so long.

Hi. I’m just starting to use your book, the Easy way to stop smoking, with my students, as some of them made goals to quit. In December 1993, my mum was nagging me to quit smoking. I’d been trying for a couple years, and while I could stop, I couldn’t stay stopped. Mum gave me your book, and I thought “I’ll just read this dumb book to get her off my back.” I was under a lot of stress, and engaged to a smoker, and didn’t think it was the ‘right’ time. Half way through the book, I sat with a friend one day, she’d stopped smoking recently, and I smoked two cigarettes. I had no idea they were my last! I just never had another one. I’ve been a non smoker for fifteen years now. Mum gave this book to every smoker she met, and I recommend it constantly – most of the people I know who have stopped long term, have used this book. Here’s to a smoke-free world! Thanks!

I recently attended the Allen Carr’s workshop, and waited for some kind of revelation, euphoria, someting to “click”, that would make me a non smoker. It didn’t – I came home and thought GREAT I’VE JUST PAID A WEEKS WAGES TO NOT SMOKE- that money could have been spent on this or that whinge whinge. Point Being – I have not smoked, and felt sick at the smell of a smoker walking past me. I doubt that I will every smoke again. The cigarette companies have just lost a committed 25 years smoking customer.

In just a few weeks since quitting smoking using Easyway, I can walk without severe pain for the first time in years. What a revelation this has been! I knew I’d breathe easier and feel better, but I didn’t know (despite many doctors visits trying to find out why I couldn’t walk a block) that I would regain my mobility. Allen Carr said smoking deprives our bodies of oxygen, and I see now this is what happened to my legs after 35 years of smoking. Thanks doesn’t begin to say it. My new freedom literally means I can walk again.I can’t wait to help others ‘see the light’!

I just wanted to report that I too have finally stopped smoking after 15 years. I always said I’d stop but always found a reason not too. I became a non smoker 11 days ago and have found it much easier than I ever could have expected. Even during stressful times I realise that I would previously have lit up but now feel strangely relieved that I dont have to! I’m free and cant quite believe it!
Thankyou Allen – you gave so much back to so many people, myself included.

I’m 33years of age. After smoking for 15years and trying to quit cold turkey and other ways, i was willing to try anything. After hearing a mate of mine stopping i had to have a go myself. If he could do it ( would not have expected it from him) so could I!
Its been 3 clean, fresh, energetic, healthy, great tasting & smelling years without the cancer sticks.
One of the most inspiring things that made me pull my finger out was when, the book said “DON’T MOPE ABOUT IT GET UP AND DO SOMETHING ”.....
You know what i did? I dusted the old road push bike and started to ride. I now ride 4 to 5 times a week averaging 100kms. And when i get off the bike i have hardly cracked a sweat nor am i gasping for air.
I want to thank you Mr Carr for saving & giving me my life back. Your book belongs next too every cigarette stand in the world.
Thank you verrrrrrry much

Dear Kim
I attended your session in Oxford on February 18th, came home relayed the whole thing to my husband (at the time also a smoker) and we are both still NON-SMOKERS!! it’s fantastic, and I just wanted to drop you an email to say what a wonderful success it has been for us. The only drawback is that we can now smell everything and quite frankly smokers absolutely stink!
Strangely when I see someone with a cig in the hand I forget it even exists and then think ‘do people still do that’ -how gross !!
Would really like to do the Weight loss one now, can you give me some info please.
Thanks
Jo

We bought a copy of the book each and gave up together. After 30 years of smoking we couldn’t believe that anything could be so simple. We pinch ourselves each day and rejoice in how lucky we are to have learned of this simple non patch, non drug way to quit smoking. Where are the NHS? Why don’t they use this method instead of spending millions of pounds in prescriptive, addictive anti smoking aids? We have lent our books out and spread the good word.
Thank you Allen Carr from the bottom of our hearts and lungs :-)

I was so elated to be free, I couldn’t wait to write to Allen and thank him personally.
I was shocked and saddened to learn of his passing in 2006. I feel like he was right here with me while I read his book. I also felt like he had been watching me all my smoking life. He knows exactly what we all have gone through. I am 40 yrs old and started smoking when I was 16. I tried quitting with will power-lasted 1 year, then the patches- lasted 9 months, then the nicotine gum- lasted 2 weeks. I wish I had discovered him sooner. I read his book in 2 days and was amazed at how brainwashed I had been. I truly feel sorry for smokers and hope I can help guide some to being smoke free.

I cant praise this method enough. I read the Only Way to Give Up Smoking Permantely, 11 years ago. It was so easy and I still get frustrated with friends who still feel the need to smoke. I know how liberating life is without cigarettes and can only pass on how great the method is. Thankfully my mother who smoked for over 30 years gave up 10 years ago too. Ive saved approx £15,000, my health, dont have the stress of being a social pariah and I dont smell anymore either!

I began smoking in the late 70’s, and have been a pretty consistent pack a day smoker ever since. On January 28,2008, I smoked my last cigarette after completeing the book. I can only begin to express my gratitude, and would like you to know that I will be spreading the word-there’s already a number of people looking for the book because they are amazed at my success.
It disturbed me to hear about Mr. Carr’s passing, which I found out about only after visiting this website yesterday. My condolences to his family and freinds. Having never met the man, I feel as though we were connected, and I truly feel a sense of loss. All the best to the Allen Carr’s Easyway methods, you can certainly count on my support.

THE MONSTER
For all of us who smoke the weed,
we think we only serve our need,
but lying deep within us all,
a monster roars, we hear his call,
and so reach out for a cigarette,
it’s feeding time for our little pet,
to keep him calm our only aim,
and so we gladly take the blame,
He’s settled now, but not for long,
and all too soon we hear his song,
there’s no escape he needs his meal,
with no regard to how we feel,
he tries to kill his willing host,
but plays it slow, to take the most,
and when we’re gone will look around,
until a new young victim’s found,
he’ll wait until the first one’s lit,
then enter swiftly, there he’ll sit,
demanding food for ever more,
he wants his poison, hear him roar,
the more we feed, the more he grows,
the sad fact is that no-one knows,
don’t keep him close, your little pet,
just let him go with no regret,
starvation keeps his wrath at bay,
‘til the monster withers clean away.
Inspired by Allen Carr with love and gratitude.

i started smoking when i was 14, and at nearly 20, i was smoking 20 a day. i regularly walk to attempt to keep my fitness up, and started to feel that the smoking was having an effect on my health.
i read the book and went walking on the glorious weather that we have just encountered a week after stopping smoking and there was already an amazing difference in my fitness, as i was able to walk up the hill without feeling as out of breath as normal!!! THANK YOU ALLEN CARR!

I read Allen’s book in Jan 08 and stopped immediately. My brother had read it before Xmas and stopped also. Although I was committed to stopping I was sceptical that the written word could have such a profound effect. However, it did and the feeling is great. I cannot believe what a mug I was to smoke as long as I did (22 years – ahhh). Stopping was easy and I would recommend this approach to everyone. Indeeed I have encouraged a number of friends and colleagues to read the book. So far I have helped three others to stop…more to follow I hope.
Thank you Allen and all those who have helped and supported you.

YIPEE!!! I’m a now a non smoker! I’m 25 and have been smoking for 14 years. Now that Ive got a family I thought it important to quit. Not only for my family but for myself also. My father recommended the book and I thought “if he could do it (smoker, 30 years) then I can definatly do it! And I have. Thank you.
I am a professional musician,(Singer/songwriter) and am so exstatic about quitting smoking that I would gladly write a promotional song for any campaign you may wish to pursue in the future.

I owned Allen Carr’s book for several years, read it, but I never quite succeeded in quiting. This year I turned 35 and decided to attend a slimming club. As I lost my first stone I decided that I should try to quit the smoking again. I re-read the book and this time the message sunk in. I have now been free for two weeks and see smoking in a totally different light. My desire to smoke has gone up in, er… smoke!
Everyone tells you that you shouldn’t try to lose weight and quit smoking at the same time “It’s impossible!” they say. I’m finding it EASIER to lose weight without smoking. And it’s taken years off me. I keep looking in the mirror as I can’t believe how much better I look, and I feel so much healthier and happier too.
Allen gave me the key to escape the nicotine prison. I was sad to hear he died. I only wish I could thank him personally, I owe him a great deal.

I don’t know what I could possibly say to you to adequately express what you have given me. I thank God for you. I could tell for a very long time that if I kept smoking, it would kill me. It burned and hurt me in a way it did not hurt others my age who smoked the same amount or less. My uncle and grandfather both perished due to smoking (tongue cancer and lung cancer), and I could feel my body trying to beg me to stop. I read your book, suffered for three days against the addiction, and then felt as though I had escaped prison. Thank you.

I smoked for almost ten years until quitting with Alan Carr’s method.
My girlfriend bought my the book as part of a law school graduation package. I did what many recommend against: I quit while studying for the bar. (I gained from quitting; why not gain something during a stressful time?)
Not only did I pass the bar, I haven’t smoked since!

While reading the last chapter of the book, I was walking around the house, puffing my last cigarette, while throwing out all my ashtrays.

Hi Natalie.
Well I am at the six month mark.
The system has worked for me because
I believe I have handled it emotionally.
This was possible because of the content in the course.
I also believe that if I went cold turkey on the same day I would be back on them.
I feel that all round I handle stress
a lot better too.
I enjoy cycling more and went up market on a new bike with the proceeds of not smoking.
I tried three times over 31 years and this system was what worked.
I am hard core, and don’t care to be told that it is bad and controlling or I will die etc, not interested in the slightest.
I gave up to enjoy sport and to not smell of it whilst doing business.
I felt I was ready, and it appears so.
In any case the all-round benefits are great.
Thanks again Natalie.

I have had Allens’ book for 4 years and started to read it back then and never finished it. Just recently my children asked me when I was going to stop smoking, I replied by saying when I finish this detox I’ll give up. Well four days into the detox my 8 yr old son asked me again, so I picked up the book and started to read it again. I read it and finished it within 5 days, I had my final smoke on finishing the book. For myself I jumped up and down when I put the smoke out and yelled out “I’m a non smoker”. I honestly feel that I have know cravings for a smoke. I feel like I’ve never smoked before in my life. I gave up smoking may times but the little nicotine monster inside kept pulling me back. I was sad to read that Allen had passed on but he has left behind a fantastic legacy to many millions of people who want to take on the nicotine monster. Thank you so much

I sadly started to experiment with cigaretts when I was 9 Years old, my mother used to buy me 5 Park Drive as reward for cleaning the house.
I have just read the Book “The Easy Way To Stop Smoking” By Alan Carr. As I read through the book I slowly lost the will to smoke, I continued to read right to the end. What a Guy this Alan Carr fellow was, It should read SIR ALAN CARR.
Any ways after 40 years puffing on the fags, Alan helped me puff my last puff.

Thank you for changing my life! I downloaded Easy Way from I-Tunes in May last year and it was the best money I have ever spent. Having smoked 20 a day since the age of 18 I thought that I was going to be hooked for life. Thinking now of how I used to have near panic attacks if I only had half a packet left on a night out, now makes me laugh – how stupid was I.
Now I can enjoy nights out even more (especially as I don’t have to go outside every 15 minutes) and feel amazing.
Thank you for saving my life!

I have now been a non-smoker for 15 months, after having smoked heavily for 14 years. And I just wanted to thank you getting me off the smokes for good. I didn’t think it could be that simple and easy, without cravings or substitutes. I read your book, while smoking, and just bloody-well stopped! Hurray for you. You saved my life and my sanity. I haven’t had one moment where I ever wanted to touch a cigarette again. Cured for life.

Hi
Just want to say finished the book a few days ago and couldn’t wait to finish my last cigarette. Its only been 3 days so far, but it has just been soooo easy- no physical pain whatsoever. I am ashamed to say I purchased Allen’s book about 8 years ago and got maybe half way through and never looked at it again until last week when I decided to give it a go. I now wished I had read it all those years ago. But YIPEE – I’M FREE.
Hope you know how many people you are still helping Allen. RIP

As I sit here getting over the cold and the flu I sit in appreciation that I am a non-smoker going though this. I remember in the past, even though smoking would make me feel worse, it wasn’t something that I would consider doing without. That’s when it should have clicked with me how addicted I was to nicotine.
My husband and I have been smoke-free for the past 8 months. We both started smoking at the age of 12, so we were pretty good at it :-)
A friend of mine spoke of this book that a friend of hers read and said that she quit smoking. I said to her, “What the hell is in the book?”. She bought one for me and one for her. I read the book first, very easy reading around the pool one day. I had two packs left in my carton and thought that I would try it Mind you when I got the book, I had no intentions of quitting, I was just curious.
Two days later my husband read the book after he notice I put mine down and he quit as well.
Like I said earlier, it’s been 8 months for both of us. I am so grateful to my friend for getting me the book. She read hers, put the smokes down for a while but went back to them. Go figure?
Here’s a cute story.
I guess my 6 year old grandson listens more that I think because one day a friend was over and she was smoking. Spencer leaned over to me and said, “Grandma, I don’t think she read the book yet”!
Feel free to use my testimony on the website.
Eternally grateful!

Hey there
I have been smoking for like 30+ years, hand rolled Duch tobacco. Did’nt think the cigaret’s you can buy tasted of anything.
Last week I’d finished Allan Carr’s book on how to stop smoking, and the moment I closed the book I gave up the 30 year old habit and become a happy non-smoker.
No problems to that thing at all, I’we always tught it would be hard to quit smoking, but no problems at all.
I have been a happy non-smoker for a week now and I haven’t felt no need at all for a cigarette
Thanks Allan for your words.

Mr. Carr, as most who have read your book I too, am sending my “thank you’s”
I had stopped smoking a week before I read your book- after reading your book I was confirmed in my convictions and “energized” about my decision.
As gifts I have purchased your book for two other friends and expressed to others ( who have asked me ) to read it.
My friend was recently diagnosed with lung cancer – and this news has greatly affected all my friends and family. Your book has been a great comforting support system and I have the checklist on my refrigerator !
In ending I would like to add I now have 4 non-smokers in our cirlcle of friends and the support system has been wonderful – anyone who wants to bash or judge smokers – I simply say read Allen’s Book before you say any more….. Everyone has to come to their on conclusions the deciding factor for me was realizing that I am not giving up anything. Your encouragement to treat life just as you were – was an incredible joyous journey. Im grateful for the wisdom!
Choice is a beautiful word !
Thanks you

After many years of trying different methods, In November 2006 i purchased Allan Carrs Easy Way to quit Smoking.I took my time reading it so that i understood it properly, everyone around me refused to believe this method could work (Smokers mainly)After 2 weeks i smoked my last cigarette and freed myself from this awfull habit.. The following day i heard that sadly Allan carr had pasted away, This gave me more motivation to carry on on my journey in memory to him!! I have not touched or craved a cigarette since that day!! Over 14 months ago.
Thank you so much Allan..God bless you! xxxx lyndsey

I have red the EASYWAY last summer and very painlessly abstained from smoking for 3 or 4 months. However, I enjoy an occasional doobie with friends and that was my undoing! I have forgotten the instruction about taking no nicotine whatsoever..so around Christmas I have started “puffing” on “special” occasions again and at New Years I’ve even bought my self a package.
I have just finished rereading the Book and this time, I am convinced, it is the Real Thing. Evidently I am one of those who find it really easy to stop..and start again. Not anymore! I have also realised that part of the brainwashing about “enjoying” a cigarette on partys was still very much there. I believe I have got rid of it- as well as of the filthy weed!
They say the second try is not quite as remarkable as the first, but I feel that I know more now. I couldn’t actually wait to extinguish my final cigarette- and be done with it! (Unlike the first time where I have postponed finishing the Book for weeks!) YIPEEEEEEE!!!!!! I so wish Allen was with us to read this..no one has even come close to achieving what he has for us ! WE LOVE YOU, ALLEN!! Wherever you might be, you’ll always be in our minds, too…and HEARTS. THANK YOU THANK YOU…WE LOVE YOU.

When we were told that you could stop smoking by rading a book both my wife and I said “pull the other one”. We were wrong, it really does work. My wife had been a smoker for 44 years and I had smoked for 46 years but we both found it so easy to stop after reading “Easyway”. It is only three months for us but we both feel so much better. However, I do not call myself a non-smoker but a smoker who has stopped. The reason being that I know that like an alcoholic with drink, if I had just one cigarette I would be back on the slippery slope.

To all the people who have recently become non smokers:
16 years ago I gave up with Alan Carr’s ‘Easy way to stop smoking’,after 30 years of 30 a day and having unsuccessfully tried chewing gum,patches and hypnotism.
I have never craved a cigarette since and have no problem with people blowing smoke in my face at social gatherings.
On the other hand, friends who used the old will power system (some of whom gave up more than 10 years ago) often say things like “I could kill for a cigarette at a party when I’m having a drink”
That’s the difference: once you’ve used Alan Carr’s method you think as a non-smoker and that danger of relapse becomes non existent.

A point in history. Once we thought the world was flat, once it was cool to smoke.
Let’s move on for the sake of future generations. We just don’t do THAT anymore. It just wasn’t right.

Thankyou AGAIN Allen! I first read your easyway in 1995 and stopped smoking EASILY! I took up long distance walking and cycling and camping and even ran marathons to raise money for lung cancer research…and then, like a FOOL, I started smoking again after 5 years of freedom, just to annoy my husband. It worked! We’re divorced! And like an IDIOT I was left holding the babies and the cigarettes!! Another 7 long years later, I get to thank you again, after reading Easyway for women to stop smoking, which I picked up in the airport. I finished the book a week ago, in tears of joy, threw my last roll up onto the fire, sent a text to my daughter to tell her “no matter what happens in my life I will never smoke another cigarette”...and I have started to live again!! Thankyou thankyou thankyou! My only sadness? I just read today that you died, and I will never be able to thank you in person…but I WILL run again, and raise money again for lung cancer research!! God bless you Allen!! XXX

Thank you Allen for your method and your belief that we can all find it easy to stop smoking. You made me realize what a fool I have been to continue doing it. It took me several reads of the book and more than a year for me to finally quash my fears and do it. I can’t thank you enough for showing me the way.
Thank you!

I am a non smoker since 11th Jan 08.
I read the Easy Way to stop first, but wasnt ready to stop. Got The Only way and couldnt wait to light my last cigerette.
I was so scared to try to live without them, yet it has been so easy to stop.
I think that Allen Carr is with every single one of us when we are reading the book.
Bless you and thank you Allen Carr

I smoked my last on Saturday at 3.30 in the afternoon: that’s 3 days and almost 4 hours ago. I have never spent such a long time free from smoking since I fell headlong into the trap 25 years ago. I have not foun dit difficult – in fact it has been surprisingly painless!
I attended a clinic here in Brussels and stubbed out my last cigarette at the end. The other participants and I bonded even though we came from very different places. I feel that I have everything I need now to keep away from nicotine for life. I can’t thank you enough.
Just as an aside: I think my mother was one of Allen Carr’s early converts in the late 80s… she hasn’t smoked since.
I am utterly shocked at the lack of support for this method and lack of enthusiastic response from the anti-smoking lobbies in the UK… hopefully employers will pick up the initiative and run with it. I’m waiting until my “stopping” reaches a credible duration and then persuading my employers to take the initiative organisation-wide.
Many thanks once more and more power to your collective elbows.

WOW!!! This was amazing!! I want to continue the crusade that you Mr. Carr have began. I know you are looking down upon me and have saved my life. Who could have thought that you smoking 100 cigarettes a day…. a world away… could make someone who was so addicted quit like it was nothing. I laugh at how easy it was and kick myself for not knowing about this earlier. Once this method is spread… smoking will cease to exist in those that are intelligent enough to understand what it is doing to them. I am a 28 year old engineer from Illinois, USA that thought quitting was impossible.. because I “loved” to do it. Little did I know.. I hated to do it… the “little monster” loved to do it.
Thank you thank you!! You have saved more lives than any Dr. in the world. One day… I hope you receive the Nobel Prize for what you have done. Truly unbelievable!!

12 days of being free! I basically had to stop because of chest pains and Dr advising ECG result showing my heart not good. Of course as soon as I got out of Dr’s rooms I lit up. Thanks to my sister who also stopped smoking using Easyway got me the book. Withdrawal for first week was harder then the book said. Now easy! Best of all – no chest pains – no fear- feel so much better physically. And one more thing – I have huge desire to eat better and eat more healthily. Can’t believe this is me!!!!

I had been a pack-a-day smoker for 10 years before I read Allen Carr’s book. Years ago I had heard rumors that there was a book that could get you to quit smoking, but I never believed it. My parents bought a copy of his book for me when I told them that I was going to try (yet again) to quit. I read the book in three days and have not smoked a cigarette since. I have been totally nicotine free for over a month now, which is a feat I would have considered impossible six months ago. It was unbelievably easy!
I am now totally free of the nicotine trap and will stay that way. It feels so marvelous to know that I am no longer a slave to that nasty plant! I can’t thank Mr. Carr enough for writing the book that saved my life. I have been recommending the book to every smoker I know. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I really wish the “stop smoking support groups” had told me about this book instead of trying to flog me patches and gum. I’d have quit years ago, recommend this to all your smoking friends who are thinking of quitting.
Still can’t believe a simple book for £7.99 did it and I’ve been smoke free for a month now.
Only ever manged 2-3 days with all other methods.

At 38 years old I’m free. I feel fantastic. I’m now over a week into my life as a non-smoker and am feeling so good about myself and feeling full of energy again.
I have been aware of Allen’s method for a number of years (via friends and colleagues who have stopped), and finally decided to stop by reading his book, which is one of the most important books written in the 20th Century.
Before reading his book I was scared of giving up without nicotine. Consequently, I have spent the last 3 years addicted to both patches (which I wore through the day) and cigarettes (which I smoked in fairly small quantities in the evening and at weekends, having removed the patch).
I cannot believe how pathetic I was to be reduced to such a sorry state of affairs. A nicotine addict of the highest order.
Thank you Allen.

It is with great sadness that I have today discovered of the death of Allen Carr – “Nicotine’s Archenemy”.
I have been smoking for the last seventeen years of my life. I too, am now free from the nasty weed.
Allen had a wonderful way of writing and conveying his method. A truly intelligent, gentle man with a wonderful sense of humor. I truly feel as if I know the fellow, having never laid eyes upon him. That’s the wonderful thing about Mr. Carr, he opened his life to the world, so he could help others, and hopefully put an end to the SCANDAL.

FANTASTIC! I finished reading Easyway back in November and have not had a cig since then. If I were to receive one dollar for every time I have (and will continue) to recommend this book I would be a wealthier woman!
But, most importantly, I am healthier and happier. I had a couple of twinges the first few days but even they were fairly easy to overcome.
I never thought a book about quitting smoking could motivate and inspire me but it did.
Buy it and try the Easyway… it’s more than likely that you will succeed in quitting (cheerfully ) and in a short time find yourself writing your own testimonial.

I gave up smoking with the help from Allen Carr’s clinic and I couldn’t have done it without the help.
I tried so many times and failed but this time I have done it.
I smoked for 40 years and never did I think I could give up till I went to Allen Carr’s clinic, I have not had a smoke now for 8 months and I have not craved or wanted one.
If any one is reading this and wants to give up smoking please go to Allen Carr’s clinic I promise you it works and you will feel much better I promise.

It took 3 years AFTER being diagnosed with HIV to get the courage to quit smoking, reading Easyway to quit smoking made it easy finally, strange how even a terrible diagnosis often is not enough to deter an addict from quitting, but seeing things in a new light finally lead to success.

absolutely fantastic book. I didnt want to give up smoking, but could see that my young children were being effected by it. I never smoked in the house but my children used to refuse to give me a kiss after I had had a cigerette. I read the book thinking how on earth is this going to stop me from smoking… That was christmas 2006. I’ve not touched a cigerette since and have had no cravings. I am really proud of my self…

Good Morning from Sydney Australia.
I have just completed the course on the 19th December 2007 and happy to say ‘I AM NOW A NON-SMOKER’
I have been smoking for over 25 years and would class myself as a very heavy smoker, as I would smoke on average
50 a day. I would smoke 5-8 cigarettes before I left the house in the mornings and just couldn’t do without them.
I did the course with NATALIE CLAYS in Sydney and have had the first Christmas for a long time SMOKE FREE.
I just can’t believe the difference in my life already, my energy levels have gone off the rictar scale, life in general is so
much more different and clearer in everyway.
I thought I would send this email to say “KEEP THIS GREAT WORK GOING” as ALLEN CARR’S EasyWay works 100%.

I would like to thank the late Allan Carr for devising this incredible method,
I tried to give up smoking on New Years, I had three terrible days of no sleep and desperately wanting a cigarette. They were all I could think about.
I ended up smoking again once I got to the the weekend. Luckily I had ordered ‘The Easyway’ book as I knew I would break. I found out about this book from the BBC readers comments about Allen Carr’s passing and I was intrigued how people had said how easy it was to stop.
I read the book last night, had my last ever cigarette! I feel great, completely different from when I gave up on New Years, I feel happy and I have not craved a cigarette at all! I know I will not smoke again, my attitude to smoking has changed.
Thank you Allen! Rest In Peace knowing what good you have done! I am trying to get all my friends to try your method!

Dear Natalie,
After 18 years of smoking I am finally free from the torture and slavery which smoking carries with it. I feel like I am born again. I have a new zest for life which I did not know is possible.
I have more energy now then I have had ever since I can remember. I am now going on daily walks, not because I feel I have to, but because I have so much energy that it’s almost automatic.
I have so much more energy that I am literally finding it impossible to sit down for more then 10 minutes.
I could take up a whole page writing the benefits I am now feeling. There are no pain’s, pang’s or any type of withdrawal symptoms what so ever, just a great day, every day.
My only desire now is to convince my family and friends who are smokers to contact you. I am 100% certain that there is no easier way to become a non-smoker then the Allen Carr way.
I never ever thought for one moment that it could be this easy, I just now wish I could convince others.
Thank you for giving my life back.
Kind regards,
Cetin Ozbal.

I was one of the many sceptics to read the book, however I read it word for word over the holiday period and quit smoking XMAS night. Friends said i was crazy to quit over the New Years period due to all the drinking and partying, but i realised it was the ‘perfect’time to quit for the same reason. I was stunned at how easy it was to stop smoking and have now referred the book to at least 6 friends. After trying every method to quit, I am convinced this book is very special. My friends who are still smoking are very jealous! Thanks!

I am 50 years old next April and have been smoking since I was 16. My wife asked me to read the book (no strings or promises attached) for Christmas.
Although I find the book repetitive, some of the anecdotes are very good and certainly the insights into the psychology of smoking are spot on.
I had my last fag 2 weeks ago. Not sure if I will ultimately succeed but the signs are good.
Disappointed to hear that Mr. Carr had fallen to lung cancer of all things in November 2006 as I live in the Bahamas and news travels slowly to the islands!

One year, one month and one day since I stopped smoking forever after 45 years!! It was the best thing I ever did and I cannot thank my counsellor, Charles Hunt, enough, not forgetting the late allen of course. I drive a truck for a living and thought that the long boring motorway hours would make it so difficult. Instead I filled the hours with thoughts of being a very fortunate ex smoker. I was so scared of the withdrawal pangs that I had never tried to stop before. Thank you all at easyway once more. Now I will go and have a huge lungfull of smoke free air!!! Steve

Back in May 2007 I was in a book shop with my teenage daughter. She picked up a book called “Allen Carrs Easyway for Women to Stop Smoking” She looked at me hopefully and suggested I buy it. So to humour her and get her off my case I purchased it and once I got home I shoved it in a drawer and left it there. I tried to ignore it’s existance but it was always there at the back of my mind. Typical smoker, I thought I loved to smoke but deep down I hated it and was too scared to try and quit. In November I decided to read it and I believe that decision changed my entire life. What I read in the book was a huge revalation and I have been totally free of nicotine and smoking since November 20 and that was after smoking for 35 years and too scared to even try to quit. I am very upset coming to this website only to find out Mr Carr passed away Nov 2006. Wanted to thank him so much for showing me the way out of the nicotine trap, I did what he decribed in his book and now I am free for the rest of my life. In fact I don’t have sufficent words to describe how grateful I am to him. Best wishes to his friends and family, please count me as another person Allen helped save. If it’s not too presumptous I would like to dedicate my quitting to his memory. Thank you all the way from New Zealand.

I tried to quit smoking on Jan. 2, 2006 using willpower and nicotine gum. I lasted 23 hours. A couple of days later I heard our local radio hosts singing the praises of Allen Carr and Easyway to Quit Smoking. I got the book, and finished it on Jan 10, 2006. I am coming up on 2 years, although it was never really something I kept track of. That is because it wasn’t a difficult thing to do at all. My husband read the book a week later, and quit his nasty habit of chewing tobacco! When I had quit for 3 weeks, I had a new patient in my dental office in my chair. She claimed that she had been a non-smoker for 3 years. I was amazed when she told me that she too had used the Easyway book! My sister found out that she was pregnant in July. She and her husband were both smokers, so they both decided to quit. Her husband read the book, and hasn’t looked back. My sister hasn’t had a cigarette either, but still longs for it… because she hasn’t read the book! She plans to read the book before the baby is born…. then she can end the torture! My husband and I also both read Allen’s book Easyway to Control Alcohol last January. We are now happy not to have nicotine OR alcohol in our lives, and feel that we have a new lease on life! We couldn’t be happier with our accomplishments and lifestyle changes! I feel that I owe my/our renewed quality of life to Allen Carr and Easyway! I, my husband and our two beautiful little girls could never find the words to thank you enough!!

Anyone who is thinking of reading the book, JUST DO IT ! My then-boyfriend also read the book and stopped after many many years and no-one thought he would be able to ! He is still smoke free after the same amount of time as me.

I smoked for 27yrs and after reading the first book he wrote i stopped immediately 15yrs ago and have never touched nor wanted to try cigarettes again, he totally changed my mind set and attitude to smoking. I am now able to pity smokers not envy them.
I have bought too more books for friends because I was so impressed by his logic.
Sad to hear of his death but he must have saved 1000’s of lives whilst expanding his Easyway business and justly deserved the fruits of his labours.

Well, what can I say, 18 months after reading the life changing easyway, and I am still a very happy non-smoker with no interest of smoking whatsoever. I smoked and thought I enjoyed it for 16 years, at least 20 a day. In this time I tried to stop so many times using will power, and obviously failed. I cannot believe I was ever that person. I cannot imagine anything worse now, the thought makes me feel quite sick. I am pleased to say that I am 7 months pregnant, and as I am smoke free so is my baby!

I have tried numerous times to quit smoking. I’ve smoked since I was 13 – 29 years – anywhere from a few cigarettes to a pack a day. I’ve even tried to talk myself into actually accepting that I was a smoker. I just started reading the book a couple days ago and it’s wonderful! I identify with alot of the excuses to both continue and stop smoking he outlines. While he doesn’t give you any groundbreaking information, he is a master at spinning your excuses to either continue to smoke or that it’s too hard to quit, into viable reasons to WANT to quit. The information is so simple it’s amazing I never thought of it the way he outlines it before. You’re right…I DONT have to smoke for a good time to continue. I got in the car last night and it was 15 minutes before I realized I hadn’t lit up. Which is big for me! And I didn’t want to, and while I smoked I asked myself why I’m doing it. I threw the cigarette out the window without finishing it. I look forward to the end of the book so I can finally quit! THANKS SO MUCH!

A Message to Kim at the High Wycombe clinic –
Feel free to use any of my comments for any thing you do….. Its actually 4 weeks today… and I still have to pinch myself because I cant believe I found it so easy….I have recommended the Easyway sessions to people at work and know at least one person who is booking a session. (although she lives south of Watford so is going in to London for hers)
Your right about the people who still smoke being in fear…. I’m sure they would really love to be able to stop. Just wish they knew how easy it really is.
.... I still occasionally go down with colleagues to the smoke corner…. more because its the only chance we get to chat Some of them think I go down to sniff the smoke….................... cant think of anything worse to do now….. its disgusting…. but I humor them and say “Of course I do”.....
I would have smoked between 450 and 550 roll ups in the last four weeks…...................... no wonder I feel so much better without
all the gunk inside me…... Even my car appreciates not being filled
with smoke… and it takes me minutes to clean inside rather than
hours…
Once again… thankyou, for everything you said in the session and making me NEVER want to smoke again… It really has made me realise that “I CAN DO ANYTHING”. ........................Just have to get that same determined head on to sort out all the junk in my loft….... do you do sessions on that … ha ha.
Thanks again

I have waited 2 months since my session to send this as I wanted to make sure it really worked first (even though I never really doubted it), but I am happy and so proud to say that it has been exactly 2 months since my Allen Carr session and the last cigarette I will ever touch in my life!
Thank you so much for helping me make one of the most positive changes I will ever make in my life. I no longer feel trapped in the deception that I actually ever enjoyed smoking, and I am feeling so much more balanced, happy and healthy since I quit.
I can, and have, highly recommended Allen Carr’s Easyway to anyone who realises it is finally time to bite the bullet and quit.

Halfway through the book smoking started getting disgisting so I stopped reading immediately took a break for one and a half week finished the book and I am a happy nonsmoker for 2.5 months more or less I am not even counting/ Thank you Thank you

I bought this book and got to chapter seven of fourty four and put out my last cigarette.That was a year ago and not once have i had a single craving. It was an absolute life saver. I can’t thank you enough. My only advice to you Allen is you should raise the price of this book to 500 bucks or so….;0
A MILLION THANKS!!!

I read THE book and I finally understood why I was smoking and the truth about my addiction.
I quit smoking and now, three months later, I am sure I will never smoke again.

Firstly condolences to all regarding Mr Carr’s passing.
I read Easyway nearly five & a half years ago and will be forever grateful, it enabled me, a 33yr addict to stop poisoning myself. I have since bought and given away several copies, and told counless others of the book. And have just given away the picture version. Thankyou.

My husband attended the Alan Carrs non smoking clinic in Sydney 10 weeks ago & after 41 years of smoking 2-3 packets per day, is now a non-smoker.
John is now walking – something he had previously refused to do – as he is finding a new respect for his body since ceasing smoking. So, at age 62 he has not only given up smoking heavily, he is now exercising & enjoying it.
Thankyou for the interview (Conversations with Robyn) – & perhaps thankyou for a few more years with my husband.

Hello,
I keep thinking I must email you to let you know how I’m getting on…
I came on your course in Oxford on 26th November last year and I wanted to say a HUGE thank you because I am now a completely smug non-smoker. Haven’t had one since the course. At the time I didn’t believe it was possible to go a whole day without thinking ‘I want a cigarette and now after 10 years of smoking I rarely even think of it!
I’ve recommended it to 2 friends who have booked in. i’m sure they’ll be as happy as me soon!
Thanks again

This book really works. The best part is that it takes away the desire to smoke. Now when I attend a social function and don’t have to leave every 1/2 hour to smoke, or when I smell a smoker walk by I am so thankful I can see smoking for what it really is…thanks!!!

I am about to celebrate my 2 years “birthday” as a very happy Easyway non-smoker and I feel so grateful for having finally escaped Smoker’s Hell.
When people congratulate me on having given up smoking, I tell them that I really didn’t DO anything, except listen with an open mind. And then the cigarettes gave up on me all by themselves – not the opposite way around. I have this mental image of a long line of cigarette packs pouting and sulking and sticking their tongues out at me for no longer “buying” their lie.
A Merry Christmas to you all from Denmark and a Happy New Year!

i still pinch myself and say to family and my husband i cant believe just 5 hours of a stop smoking clinic helped kick the habbit but it really did work, its been three and a half weeks and i feel so much better
once again thankyou

Pretty dam cool if you ask me and it is all because We spent a Sunday afternoon together – lol – Talking about smoking of course. You sure do know how to leave an impression on people and I for one will never forget you…....... You are a Legend.
Thank you so very very much and may many more people have the pleasure & experience that I had when our paths met. I can promise you this…. I will Never Ever touch another disgusting Cigarette Ever Again!

If you are reading these testimonials trying to decide if this program is for you (as I did) – please know they are real.
I’m a real person, filling this out to express my gratitude for the freedom I have gained from getting away from filthy smoking.
I’m so happy and feel better than I have in years. I started smoking at 16 and continued on until the age of 41.
Nothing stopped me from quitting.
I tried:
The patch
The gum
The lozenge
The inhaler
Getting hypnotized (twice)
Being pregnant twice (which I stopped during, but picked right up as soon as the kids were done breast feeding)
I picked up the book, read it in three days (and wanted to quit half way through, but kept going until the end) and distinguished my final smoke on November 1st.
I’m now walking daily, enjoying life and I feel like a kid again.
I’m sorry to hear of Allen’s passing – at least he had the joy of knowing how many people he helped before he went and just think how many more have quit since.
If everyone would just pass the word on to everyone they know who wants to quit, just imagine what we could all accomplish!

I started to read the book just because of curiosity. Least of all i beleived that a book can ever help to quit smoking. Anyway, i came to the last pages with completely new vision of things.
After 10 years of smoking, over a year now, it`s over. And it feels cool and free.
By the way, my two friends also sucseeded in quitting with the help of Easyway.
Thank you for saving our lives, Allen.

I have stopped to smoke 24/11/07 without crisis or problems of whichever type!!! The book is a valid reason in order to help you to stop but the important is to understand what it is written.

I attended your Allen Carr stop smoking clinic in Birmingham in the summer of ’07. I really wanted it to work and found the session day really helpful, I came out feeling great, the session is really positive and fills you with the same feelings.
I will be honest I did keep smoking after but cut down dramatically, I then went back for a second session and have not had a cigarette since. GREAT!!!!

I was a 60 a day smoker. The Easy Way made me stop over night 5 years ago and I haven’t missed smoking for a second. If I survive my habit which stuck with me for 23 years it’s all because of Allen Carr, may he rest in peace. I’m so embarrased I read a xeroxed copy. But I’ve bought it for other people since.

I gave up smoking thanks to Allen Carr (after reading his book a number of times). The key to me giving up was Allen’s hugely poignant observation that unless you chain smoke, there is no point in smoking at all! This, as well as the other simple but positively motivational aspects of his ‘method’ helped me kick my disgusting and dangerous 20-a-day habit. It helped to drastically change my thoughts about smoking – even during those difficult alcohol-fuelled moments! The sense of freedom I feel now about NOT having to smoke is far greater than any feeling or withdrawal I got from nicotine. If you can read, you can stop! :)

Just a quick note to let you know – I can’t believe I am still free! I went to an Allen Carr’s Easyway Clinic nearly a year ago now and had smoked 30-40 a day for over 50 years. When I arrived at your clinic I thought there would be no chance of me never smoking again. I am not only free and happy with it, but as you said I would, I have actually lost weight rather than putting it on, and it took no willpower at all either! I tell everyone I know that smokes to go and see you, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I’ve done all the things I would normally do in my life, such as working, going to the pub, lounging in front of the TV etc, but without touching another cigarette. I was so sceptical about the course and my ability to stop smoking that I am absolutely gob smacked that it’s worked for me, with hardly any effort. I feel great about being a non smoker and just wanted to thank you!!

I’m currently 24 and started smoking when I was 18. I became so depressingly reliant on the cigarette that I just couldn’t see a way out of it. I had tried so many times to quit, even trying nicotine replacement therapy but continued to fail, until finally the Easyway book came into my possession. What do you know, I’m a non-smoker!! 3 weeks and going strong, not even the slightest desire to light up. Thanks very much!

I have been “smoke-free” for over a year now. I’ve tried all methods – you name it – patch, meds, etc.
Who would have thought that a book (audiobook) would do it for me.
I have no cravings or desire to smoke. I had a dream once that I was smoking a cigarette. I considered it a nightmare. Thank GOD it was only a dream. I do not see myself ever starting up again, thanks to the Easy Way. I’ve recommended it to everyone I come across who have verbalized that they want to quit. They often ask me how – then I go into my spiel about the Easy Way. I am so happy that I am a non-smoker!!!!

I had posted a comment back in January and I was on day 3 of quitting. Well, it’s been 10 glorious months now and I’m still free! I’ve won the battle! In the beginning it was hard I will admit -but I kept referring to the book and finally understood why I had been smoking in the first place. Nicotine addiction! Thank you again Allen Carr. I tell people on a regular basis about this book and how Easy it was to quit. I am so glad I’ve chosen to not smoke. I feel younger than I have in years. My energy is up, my skin looks great – there are so many advantages to not smoking. I know it would not have been so easy if it weren’t for this book. Thank you !!!

I started smoking 17 years ago and despite numerous attempts using all kind of methods including patches/gums/acupuncture/hypotherapy I had never found the willpower to stop my daily 30/40 cigarettes.
After my GP recommended the Easyway, it took me 6 months to read the first 20 pages of the book and one saturday to read the rest. It was a revelation but I was so scared of failing again that I booked an appointement at the Raynes Park clinic on the 6th November 2007.
Since that day my health has improved to a point that I feel and look 17 years younger again ! Most importantly I really feel good with my friends, my family and even my work. I love it !
On this special day, I wanted to give a big Thank you to Allen and his team, you gave me a new life and I will never forget. Thank you

In desperation I purchased your book and right up until the last page I did not think it would work. However, when I closed the covers for the last time, something happened…I quit.
I am now 9 weeks pregnant after giving up at one week and couldn’t be happier – and my husband is now talking to me again!!!

Hello. My name is Irina. I live in the far Ukraine. I am 21 years old and started smoking about 6-7 years ago! That is awful as I am a girl and I started ruining my life being so young. In Ukraine there is nothing more easy than to start smoking. A pack of cigarettes cost around a dollar and you can buy 1 cigarette for about 5 cents! So and I was involved in this human-killing process. But 2 mounths ago I read the Easy way to give up smoking and on the 23-d of September I put out my last cigarette and since that day I haven’t even touched any! I just want to thank You for saving my life. Now I gave your book to my mother and try to persuade all my friends to read it. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. You are doing a very wonderful thing.

I’m a 43 year old female and I’ve been smoking since I was 17 years old. I’ve attempted to quit several times using nicorette, nicotine patch and cold turkey. I was successful in quitting once for over 3 years using the gum and the other attemps never lasted any longer than 6 months.
Quitting has never been easy.
I have been changing my lifestyle since the summer, lost 22 pounds and changed my diet and exercise. Smoking didn’t fit in my lifestyle anymore but I just couldn’t find the right time to do it. There was never a right time. I was looking at books trying to find one that may help and came about the easy way book. I’ve never heard of it and I was very sceptical. I had developped a smoker’s cough and was really not pleased with myself. I finally decided to slowly read the book (that way I could smoke longer) and it took me about 3 weeks to read it. I was never really convinced about quitting the whole duration of the book. I timed my last cigarette in the pack with the last chapter of the book.
It’s been 8 days and I haven’t smoked since. I listened the the audio CD that came with the book and even tho I wasn’t convinced about quitting, I keep thinking about the reasons why I would even light up again. I now understand Allen Carr’s easy way, there is no pleasure in lighting up, there is no crutch. Cigarettes bring nothing in my life but filth and addiction and hardship.
I’m free!
Thank you Easy way!!!

Hi,
I attended a session at the Birmingham Allen Carr’s Easyway Clinic held by Robert Fielding.
I have tried the Allen Carr method in the past and the message cannot be any clearer. I personally let myself down years ago in a moment of drunkeness.
This won’t happen again. I went to the pub straight after for a bit and didn’t even want one !
The missus is dumbstruck and i’m e-mailing this as a happy free man.!!!!
I appreciate in life certain things are important and being a drug addict ain’t one of em !
Rob was brilliant at delivering a message I had to hear once more.

Fantastic! In June 2006 I was 40 years old and smoking 40 cigarettes a day. I attended a one day course in London and haven’t had a cigarette since. I cannot explain exactly why it worked or how easy it was but am now spending all my money on facials, manicures and a new car!
I had tried everything in the past and had a few short spells yearning for a cigarette but now genuinely believe I will never go back. If you are hesitating about trying this, please don’t. What have you got to lose?

I purchased the Easyway book a couple of years ago. I read the book and stopped for a week but then I started again. I repeated this a few more times until finally I almost gave up on quitting! I couldn’t understand why I could feel so elated about quitting after I had read the book and then I could start again so easily. I consider myself to be an intelligent woman so you can imagine my frustration at the fact that there was something I was not understanding! I decided to read the book one more time. This time I read it slowly and I wrote down important points and highlighted passages that I felt I had to “get into my head”. It was then that I finally realised that I had removed all of the associations with smoking, except for one. Once I recognised the particular association, understood it, and removed it, I was finally free! I also found it helped to keep the book with me as well as my personal statement so that I could refer to them when needed. Please don’t misunderstand me – I still believe that this is the only way and the easiest way to stop smoking. Please believe that if for some reason it doesn’t quite “sink in” the first time that you should not give up on quitting! It took me a few goes, but i did it! It is totally worth it because you just feel so amazing. Best wishes to a anyone who is reading the book or watching the DVD in their quest to be a non-smoker.
Kimberley.

On October 10, 2006, I quit smoking. I have been smoke free ever since. I had been a pack a day smoker for over 16 years. I was 32 years old when I quit. After reading Allen Carr’s EasyWay, quitting smoking was the only decision I could make. Fortunately, Allen helped make that decision simple, immediate and pain free! Dr John Tickell says “It is impossible to be intelligent and smoke at the same time.” The only thing I ever need to remember about smoking is that “the first cigarette will kill me”. Thanks Allen – stopping smoking has changed my life. I’m happier, healthier, more vibrant and energetic. My inner voice is positive, confident and assured. Allen’s book only costs 2 packs of cigarettes (here in Australia) and they could be your last!

I just wanted to pass on a very huge THANK YOU to Allen Carr for his book, “Easy Way to Stop Smoking”. A work mate of mine also stopped smoking at the same time after reading Allen’s book and how fantastic it has been to have a mate on the same journey.
I’m 37 y.o and was an obsessive smoker. I never, ever thought I would ever stop smoking – thought it was my best buddy. What a pleasure it was to kick the habit on my first attempt. I spent the first hour or so at work in the sick bay, crying like a baby and curled up in a foetal position – its now a hilarious story that I tell my friends at barbeques!
When I finally did make the decision that I really had to stop due to the fact that I could feel my health deteriorate, even at a relatively young age, the book was just the last bit of inspiration I needed.
I may be a clothing size bigger, but at least:
1.I don’t smell like an ashtray;
2.My fingers are a lovely colour;
3.My teeth are white again;
4.I can breath deeply and laugh loudly without a raspy sound in my chest;
5.My skin has a healthy glow;
6.The wrinkles under my eyes are due now only to normal ageing;
7.My mum is so very, very happy and proud. As are my wonderful friends.
8.I have discovered many fabulous hobbies – Arabic and African drumming, reading, cooking, nature adventures.
9.I have learned the art of relaxation (without the desire for smoking)
10.I have formed wonderful friendships with beautiful people who I was too embarrassed to be around before because of my filthy habit (they are all non-smokers)
11.Feeling free from the addiction to that horrendous weed!!!
I will be celebrating my 6 month anniversary as a non-smoker on Wednesday, 21 November and what a wonderful feeling that is!!!
So once again, a mighty big thank you!!!

Its just gone three years since I finished reading the only way to quit smoking permanently and smoked my last cigarette while I read that particular chapter and after smoking for over 30 years I still can’t believe how easy it was. The book, the method and Allen Carr has saved me a fortune and hopefully added some years to my life. Thank you

Could not WAIT to finish the book this afternoon and just put out that final cigarette, after many failed attempts to quit over the years.
37 years of 2-3 packs daily and this is all it took? When I snuffed out that last one, I cried with joy knowing that I’m finally killing the monster!
I’ve never before been able to vow never to smoke again, but found that I actually can, having followed the directions.
Yippee!! I’m a nonsmoker! I’ll be back at some point in the future to show y’all, but this time is definitely it!

Hello Allen and team!
I want to thank you for the book I finally finished in one day! I’ve tried to read it twice, but never finished (scary scary when you feel the effect before you really are ready!). Now I finished, and I knew that you were talking to me everytime these positive “hurray, you’re finally a happy non-smoker”-sentences finished each chapter. I felt a blush coming up, and a warm feeling of finally being able to breath completely!
YES! FINALLY I’M FREE !!! THANK YOU :)

Hei Allan,
Your book is brilliant. It has helped me twice already, but this time I have absolutely taken my last sigarette. The urge has gone away now after 4 weeks. And you were right, it was really easy compared to what one thinks. But I still have nightmares that I’m smoking. I recommend you book to all my smoking friends. The only thing I missed in your book was a chapter for hash smokers who wants to quit nicotin.

What an amazing achievement! I’m 19 years old & I started smoking when I was just 16. I suffered infection after infection in these 3 years but I was never able to stay cigarette-free. An ex-smoker friend of mine recomended me the Easyway book and I couldn’t wait to put out that last cigarette! I’ve already been a week free and I can’t believe the change in myself, Allen was right – life is much more enjoyable without that poison in your lungs.
I only today read that Allen had passed away last year due to lung cancer – it came as a shock indeed. His death from a smoking related disease has only acted as further motivation to spread his word & fulfil the vow I made with that last cigarette. He’s an inspiration & his legacy will live on. Thankyou Allen for making all the difference!!!

Thanks Allen,
I thought I was doomed and you helped me see the light. I’m now smoke free and have the rest of my life to look forward to and be healthy. I can’t believe it was so easy and the solution was right there in front of me the whole time.
I even gave the book to my old man who stopped smoking too. He’s been smoking for 40 years and has been trying to stop for as long as I can remember. Look, I’m not in any way religious, but if ever there was someone who deserved to be a Saint for saving lives, it was you.
RIP mate and thanks.

acabei de ler o livro agora, estou eufórico e muito feliz por ter a certeza de que sou um ex-fumante. Sou médico e concordei com cada letra do livro. Me identifiquei em todos os momentos. Nunca imaginei que fosse tão fácil e tão fantástico escapar do vício. A única coisa que que quero agora é aproveitar uma vida saudável mental e fisicamente e espalhar a todos os fumantes a existência do livro. A existência de Allen Carr, a quem serei grato eternamente!
I finished to read the book now, am euphoric and very happy for having the certainty of that I am a former-smoker. I am doctor and I agreed to each letter of the book.

The only thing that that I want now is to use to advantage a mental life healthful and physically and to spread to all the smokers the existence of the book. The existence of Allen Carr, to who I will be grateful perpetual!

I gave up smoking four months ago with Alan Carrs Easyway…and life is wonderful. I am the weakest, feablest person I know and I did it. Even my own doctor could not believe I gave up without any nicotine substitutes. My life and health has improved so so much in just a few weeks. Please please give this book a go. You are not going to die reading this book, in fact you have nothing to lose.
To non smokers living with smokers… please don’t nag,,,, instead buy this book for your smoker. It will be the best gift you could ever give.

I quit 7 days ago. Everything Allen writes makes perfect sense. I had previously made 3 serious, albeit unsuccessful, attempts at ending the slavery of smoking using willpower alone. While there was still fear this time around, what a difference his EASYWAY book makes.
If you are a smoker, or even an ex-smoker, please read it.
Allen Carr’s words made me realize that quitting cigarettes isn’t hard. The hard part was actually being a smoker.
Allen Carr is truly an inspiration. R.I.P.

I was a pack a day smoker (in 2000)and had heard much about Allen’s book so I read it just to see what all the fuss was about but without any real intention of stopping smoking.
I couldn’t even bear to keep smoking until the end of the book and threw away half a pack. I’ve never looked back. Many many thanks.

I have just stopped smoking for the 2nd time using Allen’s method. (I caved after 1 year in a moment of weakness and extreme anxiety and stress and a few glasses of wine – not a mistake I will make again). I stopped 4 days ago. I am relaxed and happy, and occasionally have a smile to myself because I know I will not smoke again, I have more time for my children because I am not going outside to smoke every hour or so. The reason for my visit is to find a clinic for my husband. He has smoked for 30 years and this is his first serious attempt to stop. He is using the NHS NRT route and it is so painful to watch – I can see him suffering needlessly – and making us suffer too. I am shocked to discover that Allen died nearly a year ago. My own father was dying of Cancer at the same time and from mid November – February was a bit of blur. My heart goes out to his family – especially Joyce. They obviously had a strong loving relationship. Having just read the “Easyway” for Women, He refers to her a lot. “Give him a Squirt Allen” will be in mind for a long time to come, causing a smile.
As I read this book I thought about the possible effects of passive smoking and what a sacrifice Allen and his therapists were making, especially in light of the smoking ban. I prayed then that he would not be affected. I am so sorry to discover that he was. His work will continue and I sincerely hope that the NHS and the government wake up to this method and the damage the NRT is actually doing to the users and the use of Taxpayers money which could be spent in many better ways. It would be cheaper to offer one of Allen’s books on prescription. I will always hold Allen in high regard.
Thank you Allen for being You.

Both of us,my husband and me quit smoking 3 months ago and we have no intention or need to start smoking again.My husband was chain smoker who could not imagine his life without cigarettes.He tried couple times to quit using patches or gums or will power.Nothing worked for him.
We both smoked about 20 years.We had a problem imaginnig life without cigarettes.After we read the book everything changed overnight and we regret that we did not know about it earlier.
Right now I tell everybody who smokes to try Allen’s method.Hardest thing is to convince people that they have nothing to loose.

I am 54 years old and been a smoker for the last 30 years. I have stopped several times in the past, anything from 1 day to 2 years using many methods including will power and nicotine replacement therapy. I recently was blessed with my first grandson and decided to try once more so that I may enjoy as much of his upbringing as possible. I decided to try the Allen Carr method. So far I have been 10 weeks without the weed and only once have I momenterily felt the need to smoke which I overcame by applying the thought principles available in the book. Truly amazing gift that Allen has bequethed to the world.

I read the book in January of this year. It worked for a friend and I figured I would give it a try. I was skeptical, thinking it would not work for me. I was at least a pack a day smoker. I smoked my final cigarette, finished the book and have not smoked again. I was amazed at how easy it was for me.
Thanks so much.

Alan Carr’s the easyway to stop smoking was fantastic! I was afraid that it wouldn’t work, but it did. It worked so well that the last few days I smoked I wanted to quickly finish the book so I could have the final smoke and be done with it all. All of my friends are very impressed that I have quit so easily after 10 years of smoking (some of them did it the hard way). I recommended this book to anyone that wants to stop smoking for good.

Allen,
I just wanted to say thank you, I was an idiot to have started smoking again after quiting the hard way over 10 years ago. I didn’t realise but smoking slowly took over my whole life and before i knew it, it was controlling me.
I’m so glad you spent the time to write the book and even happier that I found it and read it one sunny Sunday. Since that day I haven’t smoked a single cigarette and just the thought of smoking makes me feel sick.
Thanks,
Karl

I read Allen Carr’s book on March 6th of this year and haven’t smoked since that day. Already a heavy smoker at 21, I knew I would be doomed to a life of nicotine addiction if I didn’t control the demons. The Easy Way gave me the power I needed to say “enough is enough” and turn my life around.
The past 7 months of my life have been amazing. My skin has cleared up and I get compliments on how healthy I look. My stamina has increased and I actually enjoy jogging again! I’m less easily irritated and enjoy going out all night without feeling tired, sick, or just run down in general.
As a young person who has struggled with depression since my early teens, I must say that the most beautiful part of giving up nicotine has been the shift in my emotional state. The highs are much higher and the lows aren’t as low. When something bothers me, I have the power to move past it because I have my health and that is all I really need in life. I was never happy being a smoker and it took this freedom to realize that.
I urge anyone—young and old alike—to read this book if they are considering “quitting.” Freeing myself of nicotine has been so liberating that I know I will never touch another cigarette again. Allen Carr is truly one of my heroes. Despite the fact that he has passed, I’m sure he would be pleased at the effect he has has on people all over the world!

My husband attended the Alan Carrs non smoking clinic 10 weeks ago & after 41 years of smoking 2-3 packets per day, is now a non-smoker.
John is now walking – something he had previously refused to do – as he is finding a new respect for his body since ceasing smoking. So, at age 62 he has not only given up smoking heavily, he is now exercising & enjoying it.
Thankyou for the interview – & perhaps thankyou for a few more years with my husband.

Well, I read the Easy Way… and quite. I was so so very happy… However I was young maybe too young to fully understand and not get trapped in the I can do it this time I can do it again and started smoking again … Allan says Just one and he is right after just one I was hooked.. not streight away but over a few weeks I found that I was buying Ciggies again.
Now 8 years have passed and I believe I am ready. This afternoon I went out and bought the ONLY WAY.. and it begins.

Hi to all ex-smokers everywhere! I did it very easily on July 3rd 2006.
To anyone who has just found this site, and still smokes….it is much better than just a stop-smoking method! If you read and understand the book it can change your whole outlook!! You will learn how easily you have been lied to all your life by people who should know better! So you will find amazing new strength once you have conquered the first BIG LIE : That it’s hard to quit smoking.

Hi there. Im 48 years old and I have been smokefree for 3 months now. Im pretty proud of myself as I truly loved my ciggies and to be honest, every couple of days I do think about smoking. The thoughts are very very fleeting though :) I thinks I did things around the wrong way. I had been smokefree for about a week before I bought your book and was a bit disheartened when I realised that I should have been smoking while reading it. Im not sure if I was supposed to do this or not but I was going on holiday (a time I most enjoyed a non-rushed ciggy)I was scared Id slip so I calculated how much extra money I and now had through not buying cigs and spent it on myself :)I have been under a huge amount of stress, havent smoked and seem better able to cope! What I am particularly enjoying is having fresh smelling hair and clothes. The other day two things happened to me. A man in his late 50’s got out of his car and was talking to me, he then had a coughing fit and it was repulsive, he coughed and dribbled, spat and snorted and then blamed “bloody cigarettes” Then a young attractive woman walked past me, she was so groomed and professional looking until I got a whif of stale cigarette smoke on her clothes and hair. I am hoping that if I start to falter I will remember these two people and how sorry I felt for them.
So thankyou thankyou thankyou…
Cheers

The Easy Way to give Up Smoking is a must read and I keep it nearby. I have only given up 2 months ago but I have found this book has given me so much support. It stands head and shoulders above other books on the subject.
There is even a book for women as well that I recommend writtien by Allen Carr. I did not think a book like this could have such an influence it is astonishing and what an amazing legacy that so many people think the same and have read it.

We read it and both stopped smoking as of three weeks…I went out and bought the drinking book and we both stopped our wine in the evenings habit as well. I feel better than I have in years and still am amazed at out simple and easy this method has been. I feel in control of my choices and what I put in my body. I am a psychotherapist and am using Mr. Carr’s books with my clients as well. Thank you for freedom from addiction…

Yes. I left my message before one year and I’m still very happy non smoker! And I’m even happier, because about 30 friends and relatives escaped from the nicotine trap after me! Soon the number of people saved by Allen Carr will reach such amount, that our governments, pharmaceutics and media will not be able to ignore his wonderfull discovery, as they do it now!! I’m doing my best to spread his message. Just a few years, maybe a decade and we will see THE AVALANCHE! Spread & Wait..

I am writing this at 10 o’clock at night, i have just arrived home from a two hour lesson in muai thai kick boxing, i got up at 3am this morning, have worked all day, and i am still full of energy!
It is amazing the things you can do when you are free from smoking. Even more amazing is the transformation i see in everyone who reads your book.

That day was my 28th birthday and only being a month later today i still have no intention of smoking those horrid things again. Thankyou very much for giving me what you had and that was the easy way to give up smoking. I intend to tell every smoker i come into contact with about you and your successful book..

I owe so much to Allen. I honestly didn’t think I could stop smoking. Although not a very heavy smoker, it was still a trap I had found myself in. What a fantastic book. Ironically, for months I had been saying that I didn’t really want to quit smoking. It was the first time I had ever tried to stop because I had never really wanted to stop and yet after reading your book I have now gone 8 days without smoking. I know that I will never smoke again because I simply do not miss it. I cannot believe how easy it really has been and I will recommend this book to everybody I know who smokes. Thank you so much.

As my daughter reminded me, today it is now seven years since I stopped smoking. She promised me back then, when she was only ten, that she would help me to remember, and she hasn’t forgotten a single anniversary!
I can remember vividly how I read Allen Carr’s “Easy Way to Stop Smoking”. It took me a week of reading and re-reading until I dared to read through to the end. I was so hopelessly addicted (40 a day) that I was quite sure it wouldn’t work for me and I got up the next morning, smoked a few cigarettes, and drove in to work as usual. It was a beautiful Indian Summer day, 25 September 2000, with clear skies and sun. About half way to work I opened the car window and decided there and then to stop. I threw my cigarettes and lighter out of the window, and carried on to work. By the time I arrived, all of 15 minutes later, I was already a non-smoker. I looked at the people standing outside the main entrance, smoking, and could only feel sorry for them. I went home that evening and took all of the soft furnishings to the cleaners to remove the smell. I did have a few hard days fighting my nicotine demons and I was very shaky for a couple of days but my daughter encouraged me all the way. Once I was through that I used your book as well as a few internet resources to conquer the behavioural addiction. And three months later, my husband quit too! I am so very, very, glad to be able to say that I am STILL a non-smoker!

I have done it again – I stopped for five years (after about 20) then got caught in th trap again for five years. I would have made it out quicker but could not find “Allen Carr’s Onlyway to Stop Smoking Permanently” I tried Easyway but with little success. This June I went back to UK and bought the book – my last cigarette was 14 September 2007. Its great not to smell and have a pink tongue again. Thanks Allen, you made it simple and painless.

I used to smoke 10 a day for ten years now. One day it hit me. I couldn’t stop, I was a slave. I thought I would never, ever be able to stop. It was awful.
I began to pray about smoking. That God would help me find a way out.
A friend purchased Onlyway for me and it set me free. How can I express how grateful I am to have been given the knowledge that would set me free.
Thank you Allen Carr. It is with great sorrow I heard of your passing away.
If you want to break free from the slavery, please, please read this book!

Thank you thank you thank you! You have helped me explode the brainwashing, helped me pop the bubble of denial, helped me get over myself.
Your Easy Way is deceptively simple. And it’s true, if you’re still smoking at the end, you haven’t really got it. Some part of your brainwashing is still intact.
I’ve made the vow to never, ever smoke again.
Thank you.

We are a newly wed couple, who just finished your book “The Easy Way To Stop Smoking”. It is amazing! We also just read that Allen Carr died last year. We were both horrified hearing that, and it really made us think! We are so happy that we quit the nasty cigarettes in our relatively young ages.
We think that EASYWAY is the absolutely best way to stop smoking. We have both tried various ways of quitting the cigarettes, and we both have a feeling that EASYWAY is the ONLY WAY!!! We highly recommend EASYWAY to anyone who think it is difficult to quit smoking. It is NOT difficult at all…
Thank you Allen, and all the best to all of you smokers out there who whish to quit the stupid fags…

Hi,
I just wanted to tell you it worked for me! I am a 34 year old female, I had smoked since I was sixteen years old. I had tried patches, gum, Zyban, prayer, everything! This is the easiest way and I really am done for good. I don’t have the desire to smoke at all. It’s been over two months so far. Thank you so much Allen Carr! I hope you know, wherever you may be, that you have helped so many.

I used to smoke but after a friend and I were in the bookstore and he looked up on his reminder of books to look into when in a bookstore next. He and I went over to get the book and I decided to pick it up myself, thinking this book would do nothing for me…..was I ever wrong!
I loved the book, it was great and I smoked all the way through it. I no longer ever want to have another cigarette ever again. I am no longer a smoker and neither is my friend!

After smoking 20-40 a day for 22 years I gave up smoking on August 1st after reading the Easyway to Stop Smoking. It has been easy. It remains easy. I will never smoke again. I tried many times to quit before and was resigned to being a smoker for the rest of my life. Thank you thank you thank you for giving me back my life.

I have been smoke free for 17 days, since reading Allen Carr’s Easy Way To Stop Smoking. I am of Maori descent from New Zealand where Maori women feature the highest in our country for smoking, a sad but true statistical fact. Purchasing Allan’s book was by far the best $29.00 i have ever spent and although i have only been smokefree for 17 days i know that i am truly free forever of being a slave to nicotine. I had been a smoker for 30 years and never even thought that i could give it up i thought being smoke free was a dream that somebody like me could only think about. I will forever be grateful to Allen Carr and his wisdom. He is a precious gift to this world and most certainly to me and my current freedom and dream of being smokefree is now a reality. I am now reading his book on the Easyweigh to lose weight and will keep you all posted on this exciting development in my life.
Kiaora Allan, ka nui te mihi kia koe. Maa te Atua e Manaaki koe me to
whanau hoki.

A huge acknowledgement to Allan and may your God bless you and your family also.

Hello,
Allen Carr freed me from smoking, but of much more, too. Not only did I happily give up smoking without ever regretting it for one minute, but his philosophy can be applied to all bad habits, not just smoking. For me, it was a great victory! Thank you.

I stopped after reading Allen’s “Only Way To Stop Smoking Permanently” – well it was the same price as EASYWAY and it looked like it had more words !!!
The best book I have ever read. No other book has changed my life and turned it round completely.
At every opportunity if someone asks about stopping smoking or realises that I used to smoke an ounce of rolling tobacco a day, I mention Allen’s books.
I wish I could have met him before he was taken away, but somehow I felt I knew him, as through the book realised we had so many shared experiences through our previous addiction.

A half and half story this time. I refused to read a book, point-blank. I chose another method with a non-NRT ingredient. It worked but on the 5th day my wife gave me the EASYWAY book. If I had have accepted the book straight away I would have saved myself more money and fully realised why quitting is so very easy. The book has cleared all unanswered questions and removed the fear of never smoking again. Thank you Allen – I am now off to sign the SCANDAL cause.

I began reading the book on 18 July and put out my last cigarette on 29 July and have not looked back. Buying this book was the best thing I have ever done and to think that I set out just to find a book to read and ended up stopping smoking after more than 30 years of slavery

I started smoking at the age of 15, now at the age of 31 have finally stopped smoking for good. I bought Allen’s book after my sister stopped smoking using his method. I read the book as soon as it arrived, at times it made me laugh out loud, I just sat nodding at his words, everything seemed to make sense, he is the first person I have ever listened to in respect of stopping smoking and why not, he was an expert, having smoked more in a day than some of us managed in a week!
Allen’s approach is full of common sense, common sense smokers hide from, he dispels the myth that stopping smoking is some form of mental torture, get over that aspect and the rest is a breeze. There have been times when I have experienced a nagging feeling, my reaction, soak up a bit more common sense from Allens book. For the first week it came everywhere with me, not any more – I feel totally free, but it’s in a drawer in case it’s needed, a ‘fag’ will never take it’s place.
I was gutted to find out that Allen had died, but surely his passing due to lung cancer, is his final and absolute lesson to us all.. his final dose of common sense, what a clever man he was.

My wife purchased your Easy Way book on CD a couple months ago. When I found out about it I literally laughed in her face, which I might add made her quite furious with me. I said “there’s no way a CD/Book can help you to quit smoking”, me being on of those very strong willed people you had talked about in the book, I had quit many times over, at that point I was only smoking 1-2 cigarettes per day and would proclaim it to anyone who would listen. I had will power, I could go without cigarettes for days at a time if needed. My wife on the other hand is one of those women who quit cigarettes while with child only to light up the second our beautiful daughter was born, well maybe not that quickly but you get my point. I had continually harped on her to quit, but I was completely amused by the idea of a CD that would help you quit smoking. My wife listened to the first chapter or two and said she thought it was really going to help her quit, but then she stopped listening. I happened to be driving to Detroit from Chicago for a buisness trip about one month ago. Being that the backwoods Michiana radio stations aren’t quite my style I decided to pop in you Easy Way book on CD to see what it’s all about… I nearly finished all five CD’s before the time I arrived in Detroit. I spent the week expalining to my smoking colleagues that I had listened to your book. They all scoffed at the idea especially since I claimed to be nearly done with the book, but I continued to chain smoke(yes although most days I only smoke 1-2, on other days I would smoke a pack esily). On the way home I listened to the end of the book and almost majically I did not want to smoke. It was a simple as that… I am 28 years old and have smoke for the last 15 years, over 1/2 of my life. You book undid 15 years of brain washing… For this I thank you. I thank you for my health now and in the future. I thank you for saving me from that look of dissapointment from my daughter that I surely would have received should I have continued to smoke as she matured. Thank you for providing me with a tool that I can promote to my friends and colleagues… I truly hope they take the time to listen.As I said it just that easy, listen to the CD and your a nonsmoker.

It has been a year since I quit smoking and to mark the occasion, I send your book to one of my friends that still smoke, hopefully soon none of them will smoke. Thank you once again.
Sincerely,

A friend turned me on to EasyWay as an audio book (5 CD’s). He had listened to them every day during an hour commute to work, and had quit smoking. After about 5 weeks, I finally caught on to how happy my friend was as a non-smoker, and he reached out to me about listening to the CD’s myself. I gave the usual excuses and was not “ready to quit”. His one instruction: “I’m not asking you to quit, I’m asking you to listen to the CD’s and be honest with yourself.” Which I finally did. I am on my fourth week as a happy non-smoker.
I have recently realized that I simply will not ever smoke again, and it is wonderful to be free of the slavery. I have noticed that my skin has color and I no longer have bags under my eyes (which I had blamed on fatigue and stress). I am able to handle stress better and the headaches that had become far too common, are little more than a bad memory. I feel healthier and happier every single day.
Allen had not only realized how to get into the perfect frame of mind to make stopping smoking easy and enjoyable, but he had also learned how to communicate it to anyone who truly wanted to listen. Thank you EasyWay!!!!

I started reading The Only Way to Quit Smoking Permanently on Thursday afternoon the 16th of August and was very skeptical. I had been a smoker for 16 years, from 17 years old until now at age 33, and have tried everything to quit and thought yeah right like a book can work.
By Friday afternoon I was on page 272 and just wanted to make it through another 100 pages before sleeping, I knew at this point that when I finished the book I would be a non smoker, but I fell asleep. I finished reading the book on Saturday evening after work. I have not picked up a cigarette since and I never will again.
Thank you Allen you have changed my life.

Hello,
I had stopped smoking for a day, and looking kind of “I’m not sure I like this” when my colleague recommended ordering “The Easy Way To Stop Smoking”.
Awaiting delivery of the Dutch version, he gave me “The Little Book of Quitting” and that is already amazing! A real eye-opener.
I know I will never smoke again, but I do feel I need to read the texts repeatedly, cause it is just so contrary to what you have always believed. But you know Carr is right!

I stopped smoking 6 and a half years ago using Allen Carr’s method and have never looked back. I remember immediately feeling how easy it really was and also feeling a bit of a fool for ever having been ‘addicted’ to something I never enjoyed doing. For the last few years I have had the same dissatisfaction with drinking and a couple of years ago bought the book Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Control Alcohol. When I read the book then, I didn’t feel the same way as when I read The Easy Way to Stop Smoking and didn’t see it through. So I’ve continued to drink the over last couple of years and have not enjoyed one glass of wine or one gin and tonic. Again I got to the point of extreme dissatisfaction and reread the Easy Way To Control Alcohol and feel so liberated that I never again have to do what I don’t enjoy doing – no matter what anyone says. I logged onto the website to tell you of this and have seen that Allen Carr has passed away. I am very saddened that such an amazing man is gone, but thank you Allen and all your therapists for everything you do.

I didn’t even read the book. I answered 20 questions on the blue web page (not sure if it still exists), but they were apparently from the book.

I thought I would finally write and express my gratitude to the Alan Carr method of stopping smoking.
I attended the session with some reservations, about 7 months ago, as most smokers probably would. All I can say is I cannot believe how I stopped and how easy it was. I would have to be honest and say i had very very small cravings the first day and then after that, nothing. No withdrawals whatsoever. My fiance is happy and everybody at works keep saying how easy I did it and i just keep saying, I KNOW!!
Thank you once again, The ability to call myself a non smoker and be FREE is amazing and I owe it all to the method! If you are skeptical, Don’t be because it is one of the best things you will do!

I’m Italian, I got the book by chance last year but never seriously read it before this summer.
I can still remember me forbidding myself to open it again at the time, because for the very few pages I had read, I could already felt that something was telling me “hey, with this book you will definitely stop smoking”.
That pervert thought was what made me stop reading the book.
But this summer everything is working !!
I’ve read the last page on Monday night(2 days ago) while smoking my last cigarette. Following what Allen suggests, I said to myself “THIS IS THE LAST ONE, AND THIS TIME IS FOR REAL. IT GAVES ME NOTHING, I MUST DO IT FOR MYSELF !”.
That damned little cilindre filled with those fucking toxic substances that I had stupidly and meaninglessly loved and enjoyed for at least a dozen years was saying to me goodbye. FOR EVER.
I know, it’s only 2 days, but I’m 110% that I will never smoke again for the rest of my life.
I’ve never felt so certain of something than what I’m now about this.
Thank you so indeed to Allen and to the magazine Focus, which enclosed the book that I bought last year.

Five years ago I smoked my last cigarette. Since then I have taken up cycling and have competed in 5 endurance events, something I never thought I was capable of as a smoker. I am fitter and leaner now than I was through the 20 years that I smoked.Before I found Allen Carr’s system I had tried to quit so many times it became a joke but after reading Allens book, I quit and have never touched another cigarette again.

I finished, I stopped smoking. Every my friend, who read it-stopped smoking.

I got the book on the 1st of August. Finished it around midnight on the 2nd. Had the last cigarette and knew within 20 minutes that I’d never smoke again. And I haven’t and won’t. I’d smoked from 14 to 28 and “given up” many times in them years. But this time “stopping” was so easy and so final. I do like saying “I’ve escaped” or “I’ve freed myself from the slavery” ha ha ha!!!
The only downer was my mate knew instantly after his last cigarette (he read the book the month before me) that he’d never smoke again so my 20 minutes was a bit lame.
Anyway amazing book. I’ve been loving it in the pub as the only non-smoker. I live in Japan where you can smoke anywhere. Thing is, I totally hadn’t planned to stop because cigarettes are only about £1.50 out here so the cost was nothing after paying over £5.00 before. Still “Nothing To Lose” as my mate kept telling me. The rest is history.
I instantly phoned my family in England and told them I’d stopped and to buy the book. My mum said “but I like smoking”. And my dad said “I only smoke in the evenings”. And my brother had been given a copy last xmas but had never read it. He too “loves a grott”.
Fingers crossed they’ve read or started reading the book. I’ve also made all my smoking mates “aware” of the book and, like my mate said to me, said to them “Nowt to lose, init?”
Thanks again for the amazing book. Allen’s amazing legacy will live on and on.
Finally YIPPEE!!! I’M A NON SMOKER!

Dear Allen,
I’m 34 years old, I read your book back in 2001 and I have been meaning to write to thank you ever since! I have been smoke free since reading your book and I am so grateful to you for giving me my life back. I smoked between 10-20 cigarettes a day.
Your book was fun to read and I was so excited about being free at the end of it. I couldn’t wait to finish the book and be a NON-SMOKER! I have given this book to many people, I know some will not read it, but those who have were able to quit easily.
I’m pregnant now and I’m so overjoyed I don’t have to be worried about “giving up” and needing a ciggie all the time. I’m also happy I won’t be smoking after the birth and my kids won’t grow up to think smoking is normal.
You are a life saver. Thank you!

It’s 11 months to the day I went to Allen Carr in Birmingham and I have not had a single cigarette or cigar in all that time. It worked wonderfully for me. The first few days were just a little difficult, because of all the occasions when I’d normally smoke, but not nearly as bad as you expect. I keep meeting people who tell me “I’ve tried the Allen Carr book and it didn’t work…”, but I always tell them they must try the clinic – just reading isn’t the same thing as participating in something. Anyway – 8,375 thanks (and counting).

I had smoked from the age of 11 until I was 50 and probably smoked between 30 and 40 a day. Mr Carrs book was a godsend indeed. I had no intention of stopping smoking and only read the book under pressure from family. I stopped immediately. No cravings, no withdrawal, nothing….. A life without cigs is fantastic

Your book will be the birthday present for my father on August and already is the present for my friend Virgili.

I have tried on 6 different occassions to stop smoking using different types of NRT,they would work for a while but when the course had finished I would go back to smoking,infact I never really stopped craving for a cigarette.I was browsing in a book store 2 weeks ago when I came across one of Allan Carrs books ‘The only way to stop smoking permanently’ Thought i’de give it a go, didn’t seem a lot to splash out,Istarted to read the book on the way home one the bus,couldn’t put it down. I liked the idea that you wasn’t expected to give up the cigs untill you understood what Allan was saying through the book.There was no point in fooling yourself,skipping pages ETC. I have not smoked for 9 days now with the willpower method,I have followed Allans thought patterns and I must say it’s been the easiest quit I have been through. I do get the little monster creep up and give me a prod sometimes but I understand now how the addiction was controlling me and what a stupid little thing it was. Thankyou for the truth

All I will say is that his method worked for me and I will be eternally grateful to Alan for not only saving my life but also for improving the quality of my life!!
As a former user of both legal and illegal drugs over the past 20 years i can honestly say that if it wasn’t for the grace of God,or Alan Carr actually, I’m sure I would not even be posting this message.
God Bless you Alan! I look forward to returning home, shaking your hand, and if it’s ok with you give you a big hug!!
Cheers
Cormac

Please accept my condolences, I just learned of Alan’s passing. His book was an inspiration and joy to read. I caught myself several times laughing out loud. I have been a non-smoker for 1 month and I have never felt so free and happy; I smoked for 30 years. I decided I would read Alan’s book, go on vacation and smoke my brains out and quit when I returned. I did it with absolutely no withdrawal or regrets. Thank you so much for coming into my life. Oh my son has quit as well. Double Bonus!

I have never been prouder of anything i’ve done. its changed me as a person, i’m so much more confident now as i’ve realised that now i can achieve anything.
The book has honestly opened a can of worms for me psychologically. i never expected that to happen as a result of stopping smoking. now not only have i saved money on ciggarettes but also on therapy!
Thank you

Thanks to Allen Carr´s book, which was given to me by my sister-in-,law I quit smoking one year ago. I red it once and started to read it a second time. I quit both the book and the cigarettes after one chapter. I feel so happy and so free. Now I keep 2 extra copies of his book at home, just in case someone would like to have one. Allen – I think that whereever you are – you know how grateful I am that you hade the courage, strengt and desire to help free smokers all around the world. Thank you also all Allen carr staff for continuing his work! Louise

I feel like skipping down the road .
I even went to a dreaded “social gathering” last night and didn’t even want a cigarette .
Thanks-you , Sir Alan , I am cured ! xx

A good mate gave me his copy of the Easyway, along with the comment “I started to watch this, but could’nt watch it all the way through as it started to really make me think about stopping” ??? go figure!
I was a pack a day smoker, anyway I watched it two months later,(cigarettes in hand), and have’nt smoked since. That was over 6 years ago.
There is’nt enough thanks I can give, but after smoking for over twenty years I am eternally grateful, as are my family.
The Easyway, what a legacy to leave a planet, RIP Allen.
PS. My mate, also a family man, finally watched the video through completely a couple of years later and has been smoke free since.

I’m from Ecuador. I lost much of my healt, my tooth pieces and oportunities because of the cigarrette. By now it’s been 1 year 3 months without smokin thanks to Allen Carr’s brilliant book. You should have been awarded in life wih a Nobel prize or whatever.. Because I’m sure it is the best way to quit the poisoning. My mom is reading it now, but she is not determined yet to finish it quick, and I’m getting desperate.
Thank again Allen for a great support.

Let me begin by saying that I am 100% left brained. I work on Wall Street and am most comfortable with fact & figures. I bought “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking” largely to appease others who wanted me to quit. I have smoked one pack per day for 20 years.
I finished the book on May 9th—78 days ago. I have, since May 9th, twice craved a cigarette. I talked myself through the cravings, which took about 30 seconds both times.
I don’t know how this book works. When asked by my friends about it (they never thought I would quit!) I tell them the book contains “Jedi Mind Tricks.”
I don’t want to know how the book works for fear it would offend my left-brained sensibilities.
Read the book. Enjoy the result!

I’ve been a ‘serial quitter’ for years, starting in the mid-1990s. I used patches, gum, willpower, the whole gamut. My best run was a 9-month stint which ended during the Xmas holiday, one night when I thought ‘just one, it’s the holiday after all’. Of course that ‘just one’ put me right back on the trail to a 40-a-day addiction.
This year I discovered Easyway, and stopped after reading it cover to cover in two stints. I thought I had got the message, but really I’d missed it because I was back on the weed a few weeks later – again, ‘just one’ did the damage.
Six weeks ago today I finished re-reading Easyway, and I believe I’ve got the message good and proper this time. There IS no ‘just one cigarette’, and I have had no desire to ignite a cancer stick in my face.
Good luck to Easyway in promoting the message.

I was fed up with smoking and kept saying I was going to stop…. In January 2007 I began dieting and jogging and said I would stop smoking when I lost 2 stone. By May I had lost 2 stone, did I stop? NO I was going on holiday and I couldnt possibly stop while on holiday. Hmmm Duty Frees well I had to bring some back even IF I was going to stop. While on holiday I gained a few pounds as you do therefore I was back over the 2 stone mark so didnt have to stop yet… Late June a friend arrived with a big bag of birthday presents, she said pick which one you want to open first…. second etc etc then I pointed to one that wasnt wrapped and she said well its not really a present I picked it up from work for you and hey presto guess what it was Allen Carr` book The Easyway to Stop Smoking, oh right thanks I said and carried on opening the more exciting presents. With the 1st July smoking ban now iminent I decided to read the book (and yes I have tried to stop several times, unsucessfully) I read 99% (it was that engrossing) of the book in one sitting just holding off the last chapter until the night before the date I had picked (2 days away) Sunday 1st July. I smoked what “was” to be my last cigarett at 11.30pm on that Saturday night, closely followed by a mild panic attack…. and another final final cigarette, which actually made me feel a little sick….!!!!! I havent smoked since. So that friend is a very best friend and Allens book ended up being the best present. I loaned it to my mum the following week and she too hasnt smoked since. Do it now you have absolutely nothing to loose and plenty to gain
Thank You Allen

Dear Easyway
I just found out about Allen’s passing and want to send my regards and condolences.
I have read both his books and they helped my to stop smoking. I had previously tried many times using patches but always relapsed.
I hope you can continue to spread the word without too much opposition from the big 3!

Hello Allen
I just want to start by saying I am 30 years old and I am free for the first time in 15 years. I have just finished your book and put out my final smoke. I am now a Non-Smoker again. I have had your book for almost a year. Tonight I picked it up and began to read. By chapter two I had made up my mind I wasn’t going to put it down until I became a Non-Smoker. What really put the whole thing into perspective for me was the tight shoes. I now know that all smokers smoke to feel like a non-smoker, By smoking that first cigarette 15 years ago, I have continually smoked to to falsely rid Stress, Anxiety, Boredom and to relax. I know see all these symptoms are a direct result of nicotine. and no longer need nicotine to cloud my judgment. These symptoms are going to be here wither I smoke or not, but now as a Non-smoker I don’t have to feel horrible about these Symptoms. I’m Free.

Didn’t plan to quit. I was staying home after surgery and read the book. Amazing. After 30 years of smoking, stopped and didn’t even think about smoking again. Recommended to everybody, unfortunately, not everyone believe. Looking for a book in Russian for my husband. Where I can find? Hopefully translated book will give the same effect. Thank you. It is more than magic.

I read the book and quit for 3 months the first time, relapsed for 3 months and then read the book again. It was just as easy to quit the second time as it was the first time, and the reason i relapsed was because i didn’t follow the instructions in the book 100%. This time around i’ve quit smoking for 7 months. There are still moments I have the thought that i want a cigarette but following the instructions in the book help me not to act on those thoughts. I highly recommend it to every smoker looking for the MAGIC CURE – READ THE BOOK! It’s really is that easy….thank you, Allen Carr!

My quit date was August 3rd 2006. Initially things went well and I remained smoke free for some months before a small relapse that I easily recovered from.
Eight months on, remaining smoke free was becoming harder, until last month when the wheels completely came off and once more I was trapped.
Not any longer though… I can hardly contain the constant smile on my face. I have not only been smoke free but nicotine free from last Tuesday 10th July after reading Easyway – everything just fell into place.
Thanks Allen :-) Keep spreading the word.

July 9th I smoked my last cigarette having just finished Alan’s book. I immediately felt sick and dizzy, and had to lie down for a couple of hours. I was frankly amazed. I had wondered if I would be immune to Alan’s words, I really doubted I would stop on the strength of ‘reading a book’ but I haven’t wanted a cigarette since. Rather than counting the minutes since the last cigarette as I have during other attempts to quit, I find I just don’t think about cigarettes in spite of the fact my partner still smokes in my company. It’s as if I never smoked. Thank you Alan, I don’t know how you did it, but it seems to have worked! god bless you.

I too have just learnt of Allen’s death. Thank you so much Allen for sharing your discovery with all of us who want and need your help.
Like so many others have written before me, I approached Allen’s book with trepidation and fear too. What if it didn’t work for me? where would I look for help than? What would I do?
Because of this I read some and stopped, afraid that if I continued I might HAVE to stop and I wasn’t sure if I was ready. So the book lay waiting for me to finish for another month or so and I continued to smoke. But even though I had not finished the book I had read enough to have got the ball rolling and I found myself being much more aware of each time I lit up, so much more aware of what I was doing. (Ask your lungs what they think just after you’ve lit another smoke..if you listen to their answer it’s clear what they think). My coughing seemed to be getting worse. I was having trouble going to sleep because of the whistling and rattling from the constant phlegm in my throat. I couldn’t speak properly without the breathlessness causing a coughing fit. Finally I thought…Okay, the rest of the book. Simple. I read it. I stopped smoking. I have barely thought of it since. I know it’s still early days at just on one month but I’m confident I will not smoke again. I am amazed at how easy it has been and sad that this could not have occurred ealier in my life. I have been a heavy smoker for 49 years. Thank you again Allen Carr.

Dear Easyway,
I’m happy to join the many other happy ‘puff-busters’ on your list!
I bought your book yesterday and read it in a number of hours … I already know it’s changed my life!!
I have never felt this kind of relief when I’ve thought about stopping smoking. Normally, I’d be putting off the entire enterprise and dreading my behaviour and other’s reactions to it.
Today, I feel strong, sensible, capable and clever. I’m so grateful that I was given the opportunity to change my life and hopefully the lives of other’s who I love.
I am a single mother and the years that I know I now have been given, I can use to watch my son grow. He will not have to look at me with sadness or worry any longer.
Thank you for giving me the best gift of all, my health and freedom!!
Ana

hello, I only got a third of the way through this amazing book when I knew that I would never be conned into becoming addicted to nicotine ever again. The same is true of alcohol. I feel that it is a crime that the government has ignored this simple but oh so effective method and it is obviously due to the lack of money making opportunities on their behalf. Shame on the disgusting attitude of all those involved with the mainstream addiction industry. Much love to all believers.xxx

I almost lost count, but it’s more than four years since I became a non smoker the EASYWAY.
I smoked 20 a day for 15 years. Stopped for a year twice (willpower method), and started again. Read Allen Carrs book and it was all SO TRUE. It was just as if I just needed reminding. Such a relief to be rid of the addiction! I don’t think of it at all much anymore, except for the times I feel grateful for being rid of the hassle. I’m truly free and it really was easy. Not just now, but already after a day or two.

I would just like to tell everyone how easy I have found giving up smoking. After nearly 40 years of smoking 20+ a day, I really didn’t believe that there was anything that could help me. Over the last 25 years I have tried hypnosis, acupuncture, tablets from the doctor and every nicotine replacement product going, and I accepted that I was a hardened smoker who just couldn’t give up.
I attended the Easyway session on January 21st 2007 and I haven’t had – or needed – a cigarette since. It has been like a miracle, I can’t explain it to any one. I have been so frightened that it wasn’t going to last and that all of a sudden I would start again, but after 6 months of not even remotely desiring a cigarette I am starting to believe that I am a non-smoker.
Many thanks to everyone at Easyway.

Hi,
My 25th birthday wish this year was to quit smoking. I first saw this book 2 years ago but somehow was sceptical and didn’t bother to read further.
4 Months after my 25th birthday my 5 year old son made me promise him that i wouldn’t smoke another ciggarette. After 2 days i felt so guilty and angry with myself, which caused me to pick another ciggarette up and smoke it without my son knowing.
After having that ciggarette i realised how stupid i was for giving in that easily and went straight to the library and hired out ‘The Easyway to quit smoking’
I read half of it that day and started feeling excited within myself – that i was starting to feel in control for once. The next day i had my final ciggarette, which i gut dragged and wanted to get over and done with. Immediately after i felt nauseaus, and started spinning out and had to lie down for 2 hours. After completing the book i felt relieved and hopeful for once in my life.
Without realising; my final ciggarette was on the 30th May 2007. World smokefree day was the 31st May 2007, i can’t describe the joy of being free and feeling excited about smoke free day. I was nearly in tears when listening to the radio that day, they played a message from Allen Carr. The radio station anounced that Allen Carr’s easy way method is the best soloution any smoker wanting to quit, to read about.
I was also very saddened to hear of Allen’s death in 2006. God Bless you MR Allen Carr for your help and advise on releasing people from this poisoning habit. At present my own family are reading your book and quitting with ease.
Thank you so much xxx

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!
I read the quit smoking book in October and quit smoking after 15 years. The best part is that I was going through rehab for drug and alcohol addiction when I found it. At the time I was attending AA meetings and was resigned to the fact that the rest of my life was going to be a constant struggle with my addictions. Your quit smoking book worked so well that I was actually afraid to read the stop drinking book in fear that it would contradict all the AA stuff and I would be at alcohols mercy once again. Then I went on a cruise ,where there were no meetings, so I brought along the book. As you might expect the drinking book worked just as well. All my AA buddies were not very happy, they said you read one book and now your cured? And I feel they’ve read one book and now their cursed! into a life of constant self pity. Thank you for my freedom and making my life free of alcohol and tobacco without making the rest of my life about not drinking alcohol. I tell everyone who asks how I did it about the books. I am forever in your debt. My brother and my dad both quit smoking as well!!!!!

Hi there,
It was not untill I broke the chain, got rid of the brainwashing, and stoped smoking did I find out about Mr. Carr’s death from lung cancer. If it is any help, even in death, he saved my life.
I was a “confirmed smoker”. At 38, I had 22 years of smoking under my belt and felt like a pathetic, weak minded, no will power idiot doomed to smoke forever. I’d convinced myself that it would be hard, it was not!! Knowing I’ll never smoke again is a feeling I’ve wanted to know all 22 years. THANK YOU MR. CARR!! I know you hear this and I’ll thank you in person later vs. sooner!!
With love,

Read the Easyway book, did not get it!
Read Scandal, nearly got it.
Read the 2 Easyway books that were free with the Independent, got it!
6 weeks a non-smoker including the best 2 week holiday in america I’ve ever had as no jailer or little monster to worry about.
Have advised my friends at work, who wish to become non-smokers, to get with the program, open their mind,see the beautiful truth and quit using easy way.

I read the book and smoked my last cigarette on June 2, 2007. I smoked at least a pack a day and had been a smoker for 37 years.
I still can’t believe I’ve stopped!!! It feels so amazing and I feel so proud of myself!
I carry the book around with me, just in case I need to reread a little, but haven’t had to use it.
I tell anyone who will listen about the Easyway and am going to send my daughter a copy, hoping she might give it an honest try!
I know of one girl, that works in this building, who knows my story, bought her dad a copy for father’s day. I don’t know if he’s read it yet, but hope he will.
Unfortunately my copy of the book sat in my bookcase for probably five years before I had the courage to read it.
I’m very grateful to Allen and regret he’s not around to thank in person.

I smoked over 50 roll-ups a day for close on 25 years. I coughed so much each morning it used to give me a headache, yet I still had to smoke, until I read your book. It was inspirational, it made so much sense and stopping was easier than I’d found it in the past. I can honestly say I will never smoke again. I havn’t smoked a cigarette since 5th September 2000 and I feel as if I’ve never been a smoker.
Thank you & best wishes to you Allen

july 4th, last year, was American Independence day and my personal Independence day from cigarettes, after more than 20 years. Now I feel free of flying for more than 2 hours without feeling in prison, to have a nice dinner not thinking “hurry up, I need a cigarette”, I am not afraid to feel really sick and see the people I love worried for my health, because I smoked.
I want to tell all smokers “try the Easyway” if ypu wish to quit, it’s the courage you need. But you’ll love yourself again.

I stopped smoking 4 months ago after reading your book. Before I started reading, I did not believe it would work but thought I would try anything to help me stop. It has been a fantastic experience and I still feel overwhelmed with joy that I do not need to smoke and can enjoy my life. I smoked 30 a day for 27 years and actually got excited about stopping, once I had finished your book!! I want to tell everyone not to worry about stopping – do it the Allan Carr way and enjoy becoming free. It really does work. Thank you.

Hi Everyone!! Tuesday July 3rd will be my 1st anniversary of release from the miserable prison of cigarettes!! Allen probably still reads this website somewhere, just as I do EVERY week! Who could read Alex’s message of June 21st and not be moved!
If there are any smokers reading this…..you will laugh when you find out just how easy it is to stop smoking simply by reading the book. In my case I realised about halfway through the book that I was going to be liberated and it was fantastic. You must read the whole book, though, and just do as it says. I smoked 250,000 ciggies over a 30 year period and before I heard of Allen’s brilliant book I could only manage to go without a smoke for about 3 hours before caving in and buying some more. But in the past year I have hardly given them a thought….right from the moment I stopped. I have also treated myself to a nice car, felt and smelt (smelled) much better….AND I get a kick out of buying copies for other smokers, some of whom have also packed it in. One of those was my son, Ralph, who left a message on this page below.
This has got to be the world’s best online club!!
Cheers, Chris Johnson.

I only learnt today about your cancer and am truly sorry. I read your book 8 months ago and successfully gave up smoking, unfortunately until recently when I thought I would just try one, then another etc. However I know that if I read your book again, I can do it again. It was truly inspirational. I will be thinking of you and your family.
Best wishes

I stopped smoking years ago after reading “How to stop smoking the easy way” which really is the Ronseal of giving up smoking. I found it very easy to give up indeed.
If you really want to stop smoking, then you just have to try this. It really is that easy!
Good Luck!

Firstly, I would like to offer my belated condolensces to Allens family for their loss, I wasn’t aware that he has passed away until earlier this evening.
The Easy Way was recommended to me by a friend a few years ago, I managed to stop for 8 weeks immediately after ready the book. I only started after catching a rather nasty foot infection I picked up at the gym whilst excercising my new found energy :-(
After that, I set myself a target of giving up when I was forty. I set the date for the last day before I turned 41, as I knew if I set it when I turned 40, the demon within would nag & nag away at me all year.
I was on holiday in Toronto at the time, had chosen a non-smoking room, and had to venture down to the sub-zero temperatures outside if I wanted to have a smoke.
The timing of the book was perfect, I had finished it the day before I turned 41, the flight home was the next day, and every cigarette was starting to make me gag. I knew I had kicked it, and I haven’t looked back since.
I take every opportunity to promote Allen’s book, whether it be to friends, aquaintences, or fellow members in the various forums I belong to.
My philosophy is…the book costs roughly the same as a packet of cigarettes, so they have nothing to lose.
My wife was also a smoker, I say WAS. She was impressed by the relative ease in which I was able to transform my life. She took a little longer than me, but our house is now smoke free & proud for nearly 4 years.
Thanks you once again,
Steven.

Hi there,
I was a smoker for over 10 years, I tried to stop on more that one occasion and failed, I am ashamed to say I couldnt stop even when i was pregnant it was after the birth of my second child I read HOW TO STOP SMOKING FOR WOMEN.
I am now delighted to say I havent smoked for almost a year, I never had cravings, in fact I really dont know why I found it so hard to stop in the past. I really cant imagine ever smoking again.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much the book-

For over 10 years I was a casual/social smoker always thinking I was in control and that I could give up any time that i wanted.
It was only after several failed attempts and the realisation that there was nothing casual about a 10 year ‘habbit’ that it dawned on me that I actually might be addicted.
After reading the onlyway to stop smoking (a bigger book so I could put off smoking that final cigarette a little bit longer) I ended up reading the whole thing in a few days on my holiday abroad – the situation where I would normally smoke 4 times the amount I usually would.
And it was easy. Its only been 3 days but I just know that I will never smoke again – I wish coming back to work after my holiday was as easy
THANK YOU

I have tried to stop before and done so for a year twice and recently for 4 and a half months and then had one cigarette….
I became what I thought was a non-smoker before but fell into the trap. I’ve just finished Allen’s book for the second time and it was the first thing that I reached for when I was angry that I had had that one cigarette and started the cycle over again.
I have just finished the last page and am about to smoke that last one. I have another packet but they are going in the bin straight away.
This time it’s the last time I’ll be giving up, I’m done, even smoking the last 2 or 3 weeks I have felt like this is not me and it isn’t.
Thanks to Allen and all that he gave to so many before leaving last November.
I owe you a lot mate and hope you find another challenge to get your teeth into wherever you are.
Scott.

Thanks to Alans book i’ve now been stopped over a month. It hasnt been that easy but i feel a huge improvement in my health and general wellbeing. Yes, it should be available on the NHS but we all know the scams and backhanders going on in the tobacco industry and the government. They all want everybody to stay hooked.
Thanks again, Richard.

Even at the age of 29, I was a full-time smoker. I had my first smoke when I was 13 years old, and began my career at the tender age of 15. They were easy to get, even though I was always under the legal age limit. I tried and tried to quit throughout my tenure as a smoker, I tried the Patch, Gum, perscription drugs, ‘tobacco free’ cigarettes, and nothing worked. I was able to quit once, for three months, but it was the worst three months of my life. Every moment was filled with wanting, needing to smoke. And then the inevitable.
I picked up Allen Carr’s book after three people I knew had successfully stopped smoking from reading it. It sounded too good to be true. It sat on my bookshelf for about three months. I picked it up one day, and read one chapter. It made so much sense, but I was scared. In the back of my mind I knew that once I finished reading this book, I would be a non-smoker. It took me another three months to get through it, reading it one chapter at a time. I read the last page on January 3, 2007. I haven’t smoked since. When I stopped, I still had a pack of cigarettes, that were in my purse for another month. It didn’t even cross my mind to open that pack. I saw them one day and thought to myself ‘that’s weird, I don’t smoke, why do I have these cigarettes?’. I threw them out. It was so strange, it was like I had forgotten that I smoked for 1/2 my life. These days I don’t even think about smoking. When someone around me lights up, the smell is terrible, I always have to move away from the person smoking. I feel sorry for smokers now, because I know what’s it like to be in the chains of nicotine, and I also know how wonderful it is to break free. I have sinced passed my book on to a friend. I thank you Allen, where ever you are, for giving me my life back.

i was a sceptic, i wanted to stop but thought there is no way a book is going to stop me even whilst reading it i thought this is bullshit very entertaining and educational bullshit ! but i kept reading and by the time Allen said go have your last cigarrete i had a glimpse of freedom, but i thought i would wake up the next day have my coffee and go straight to the shops to buy some more fags !!! BUT …i didnt …totally amazing i just didnt ! i went to work and had a few cravings but they werent the same as before ! i realise it was the little nicotine monsters dieing slowly of starvation !!! haha i thought die you little bastards ! its been 4 months now and i havent needed a fag at all sure i have thought about it but then i think deepley and realise what a complete waste of time money but above all i feel free for the first time in 20 yrs i KNOW i dont NEED to smoke and not needing too is all it took for me to quit ! Patchs suck they really are a CON by the government im sure !! ALLEN CARR i sincerely LOVE YOU nice one mate !

Hi
I was given Allan Carr’s book – Easy Way to Stop Smoking as a Christmas gift from a friend in 2006. He had read the book and had stopped smoking. I read the book on the 7th and 8th January 2007. I stopped smoking on the 8th January. It is funny the only reason that I read the book was due to my friend pestering me about what I thought about the book, so in order to get him off my back I read the book. I am so thankful to him and to Allan Carr. Stopping smoking has honestly been the easiest thing for me to do. I know that I will never ever smoke again! My husband has read the book. It took him 3 months after I had stopped to read the book – he has stopped smoking. I recommended the book and convinced my mother-in-law to read the book. She had been smoking for over 30 years a minimum of 40 cigarettes a day. She has stopped and is a happy non-smoker. Three of my friends have read the book after discussing with me and my husband how easy it is to stop. All three of them have stopped smoking. In total there are 10 of us that have read the book, and all 10 of us have stopped smoking! Thank you!!!

I read Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Control Alcohol (in one sitting), and before I got to the end I knew I’d never drink again. MY drinking had got to a bottle of wine per night, and it made me agressive, tired and lethargic.
Luckily, I found Allen’s book and since finishing it, I haven’t touched a drink…why would i want to?
My friends think I’m crazy and can’t believe it. (I think they feel quite threatened). They believe I’m depriving myself, and it must be so hard. But it was SO EASY! Now I can’t bear the smell. I’ve read Allen’s other books, Easyweigh and the others, and I agree with him. I’ve followed his ideas in my diet too, and now I no longer drink caffeine based drinks either. (I used to love diet coke, now can’t bear it). Allen’s approach made my mind open to all sorts of things we’re lied to about (inc. smoking) which I find fascinating, and made me realise a lot about how we must listen to Mother Nature and not the ‘so called experts’! I wish I’d met him.

I had my last cigarette on the 18th of June 2007. I still feel a little light-headed that I finally made the decision to quit after nearly 20 years of smoking 20 a day. But I feel fantastic, and I would never have made it without the Allen Carr method. I had tried nicotine replacement in the past, but they constantly reminded me that I was simply taking the nicotine into my body in another form – so why not just have a cigarette?? Now I have quit using my mind rather than my body. I feel great, I smell great – and people say I actually look great too!

My deep est condolences for your loss.
I was just in the process of trying to direct a good friend of mine to your website and found out that Allen died last year.
I discovered Allen’s method about 3 months ago after I bought his book on a whim in an airport, I threw it in my kit-bag and nearly forgot about it. Then later, I ran out of reading material (I work abroad) and picked up his Easyway to Control Alcohol and could hardly put it down. I have been trying, and failing, to stop drinking for years and have been an alcoholic for probably 10 years, chronially so for the last 5. I lost my wife and my job and my kids didn’t like me much. Now I am happy, more intelligent, more confident, back living with (and loving it!) my ex-wife, my kids cannot wait to see me and it’s all down to the realisation that Allen imparted in his book. I think most people who are about to reach rock-bottom and want to give up their addiction know what he is saying is right, and many (like me) will have reached some of the same conclusions. But it takes someone of vision, generosity and uncommon intelligence to lay all these thoughts out clearly so they can be understood and accepted. Once I accepted what he was saying I knew I would never have a drink problem again. Now, when I fancy a drink for whaever reason, I just read a chapter and go for a run or call my kids.
I am so sad that as I got my life back, Allen’s came to an end from the very addiction he helped so many people conquer. I don’t know if words from a stranger make you feel any easier (they didn’t help me much when my Dad died of alcohol-related illnesses) but it might help to know that there must be 1000’s of people like me and my family whos lives would have been destroyed were it not for Allen. In many ways, that’s the best remembrance a person can have. I wish that I had something as monumentally significant to offer the world at large. Thank you.

where do I start? I read Allen Carrs easy way to stop smoking within two days. I did not believe it would work so there was no stressful build up trying to get my self discipline together. I quit the drug once the last page was turned. I felt free. Time passed and the book had heightened my awareness of my self control etc. I realised I was out of control on food. I have just read EW to lose weight and Does it make sense or what?! His theory has helped me in more ways than one and I’ve passed it all on to those I know still trapped by their nicotine monster/confusion over food. It excites me to know that I have the knowledge now. I see others ram fags and food in their mouth all day but I am truely content knowing I control me. Food is now under my control not the other way round and I haven’t touched a cigarette since that last page, 2 yrs ago. It’s strange how those still trapped are so sceptical…I must have had that attitude so not only am I more healthy but I can now have an open mind when it comes to my behaviour. Thank you for everything x

Firstly I would like to say how deeply saddened I am that Mr Carr is no longer with us, he has done so much for so many people with no help from the government or organisations that are meant to help smokers quit. He really should have received more recognition for the work he has done and continues to do through his clinics. If the government was to plough the same amount of money into his method as they do into the non effective advertising campaigns, then this county would have a significantly lower death rate through smoking related illnesses. However the government would never do that as they would loose all that money from tax on cigarettes.
Maybe we should all donate our copies of the Easyway to doctors waiting rooms.
The only regret I have related to quitting smoking is that I could not personally thank him for helping me.
I had been smoking for 13 years until I had my last cigarette on 3rd June 2007, just under two weeks ago. I can say with total conviction that I will never ever smoke again.
I do not miss it, crave it, need it or want it and I will be eternally grateful to Allen Carr and his method for the rest of my days. He has given me the best gifts of all…an open mind, my health back, knowledge and the belief in my own ability to do anything I set my mind to. I am free!!!
I am a non smoker and I am so very proud. Thanks Allen. xxx

I felt I ought to drop you a quick line to let you know that its now nearly 4 weeks since I attended your clinic in Leeds and to date I have not had one cigarette! I have even ventured out to restaurants which incidentally are a far more enjoyable experience and a lot less stressful. Oh, and I have been told in the last week or so that I seem a lot calmer person than I once was. I think that reinforces what you had said about cigarettes making you more stressful not less.

It’s over nine weeks since I attended (an Allen Carr’s Easyway) clinic. The nicotine monster has moved on and I am loving being a non-smoker. I already use less air when scuba diving. I can’t believe it worked for me when all other methods failed. Hope it lasts. Don’t want to take it for granted in case it’s taken from me. Love it love it love it. No smells on me, my house or my car – hurrah.

If you know the trick a magician can not fool you again. Same goes for the tobacco industry that kept people like me addicted for so many years. No more I am free, thanks Allen you saved my life.

You are a genius and thank you. For many years I had suffered with the schizophrenia of wanting to quit both drinking and smoking but the notion I needed them. With many failed willpower attempts I had almost given up. I haven’t packed in either smoking or drinking I just don’t do them anymore, why would I?? Fantastic, thank you.

Hi,
Am in my first 24 hours since my final cigarette. Think I may have to share my book with my partner as his first words to me this morning when I mentioned being proud of myself were that I had only “given up” at midnight. But for me it was 11 am and I had been busily going about my morning with joy in my heart for my first day as a non smoker had begun.
Thank you for producing a book that has opened many doors.

On Novemeber 12th 2006 I smoked my last cigarette and went to bed. I had finished reading the book 2 days before. I got up very nervously the next morning fully expecting to be “gagging for a fag” as I had found every time I tried to give up before. What a pleasant surprise!! Not only did I not want one, because I wasn’t going to feed my nicotine monster, I was very excited. I was on a natural high. I went to a pub that night and couldn’t beleive that I was feeling very sorry for all these people looking for the smoking area!! My husband included. I’m very proud of myself, as are all my family, and have just done a presentation at work to convince all the smokers there that if I can do it they can. One person has bought the book and the others say they are going to. It’s just so fantastic, everyone should try it. Very sad about Allen Carr but look what he acheived in life.

I just sent the following to Steve Wright at the BBC
Steve,
I just listened to your discussion about stopping smoking with Dr. Jones.
I was extremely disappointed!!
When asked what methods were available to help stop smoking there was no mention of cessation clinics/counseling.
I stopped smoking last year.
I was a total addict doing 25+ /day for 32 years.
I tried replacement methods and became more addicted to the nicotine.
I attended a 5 hour Allen Carr session and stopped during the session.
Amazingly I had little or no withdrawal symptoms and felt very positive.
So this method certainly works for a lot of people yet is hardly mentioned and not supported by the NHS.
It does make one suspect a deal with the drug companies who profit enormously from the nicotine replacement therapies.
At least give people all the information.

Hi, I have been a heavy smoker for about 30 years and had tried every and all usual methods to give up smoking. All ways failed for me.
I read the independant newspaper and when I saw the quit smoking book, I thought, – not another way! I then remembered a colleague of mine had given up with the method a few years back and I thought it rather weird at the time.
As soon as i started reading, I saw myself in it from the start. I took it on board and now have stopped smoking. I have had no cravings and feel much more relaxed. If I think of a smoke, it is in the terms of the course, and your right – willpower does not come into it.
It was the best free weekend suppliment a newspaper could give its readers – a truly lifechanging one!

Hi Guys,
Thanks so much for your help. Here is an email that I sent to Quit New Zealand
Dear Sir/Madam,
I’m grateful for the time spent in helping me quit smoking. For 4 years I tried using gum and patches recommended by you and it’s been a terrible period ruining my self confidence because I thought that I don’t have enough will-power because I even got addicted to the nicotine gum that you prescribed.
I’m very, very upset because I called your orgnization so many times; desperately asking for help and none of the staff even mentioned the Allen Carr method or something about his book. Now I’m a nonsmoker because of this book and everything makes sense except the fact that you guys continue to harm people’s self respect and even mental health by recommending a method that has very, very little chances of success, perpetuates the addiction and it’s simply the wrong approach.
I know you will say the your method works but what’s the success rate? If somebody like me calls and actually says that is addicted to the gum, why do you guys carry on with recommending gum or patches? There is almost no physical withdrawal symptom and when I stopped smoking after reading the book I felt almost zero physical withdrawal symptoms. Exactly like the book says. Why continue to prescribe nicotine gum if anybody can give up without feeling any physical pain? Why not recommending a method that is claimed to have over 90% success rate and that actually addresses the right issue which is the mental addiction and brainwashing?
I know that common sense is not actually common but still…there are some numbers. Please! Just experiment! Try to give nicotine to 10 people and then recommend the book to other 10 and see what happens…
And please let me know the result of the experiment. Also please recommend the book to people like me that struggled a lot and got addicted to the gum. At least try to save these ones.
Kind regards,
Dorin

Read the book, and laughed my way through all of the tricks I knew so well, and the situations I’ve been in. I even knew what he was telling me, but needed someone to formulate it for me. Near the end of the book I couldn’t wait to be finished with it so I could kill the last cigarette. Reading the book was an experience which in a sense gave me permission to stop: that it was ok. I pick it up now and again and read coincidental pages. The mantra for me is one cigarette doesn’t exist, and the next is smoked because of the last which itself becomes the last calling for a next. Easy when you know how it works.

I finished reading the Allen Carr Easyway to stop smoking book last Wednesday morning 16th May 2007 and I haven’t smoked since. I am a non-smoker! I am so happy and so suprised how great it feels and how shocked friends and family are over how easy I am finding this. I am forever grateful to Allen Carr because I know this has changed my life and many other peoples lives forever for the better. I am so excited I have been telling all my smoking friends and family about it I have been trying not to be too forceful about encouraging them (not wanting to annoy) but it really is so easy and life is so much happier. Allen Carr if you are looking down on us THANK YOU is not enough it doesn’t even begin to come close.

Hi there,
I’d just like to say that after over ten years of being a heavy smoker and never imagining that I would be able to quit, I’ve now been smoke-free for nearly five years thanks to Allen Carr!
I have never been happier and healthier and have never been tempted to smoke since the day I had my last one.
I reccommend the ‘Easyway’ book to anyone that wants to give up and a few of my friends have also succeeded through this unique method so thanks Allen – you will be remembered for the amazing work you’ve done forever!

I was trying yet again to stop smoking, I had smoked for 26 years. I struggled for two weeks with the ‘traditional’ methods of stopping smoking, utilised the QuitLine programme, nicotine patches, nicotine gum etc all to no avail, I still hadn’t managed a day without at least one cigarette. Then I discovered Easyway, got the book, read it in two days and the next day I was smoke free. I still can’t believe it, it was SO EASY, I feel great, I don’t ever want another cigarette in my life. All the other times I’d tried to stop but only managed a week or two, wanting to have stopped for good. This time, I just know I won’t smoke again. And the best part, two of my friends and my sister have stopped all from me telling them about “Easyway”.
Thank you so so much!

It is now almost 6 months since I attended Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking course – I am pleased to say that I have been successful, in that I have had no desire whatsoever to smoke another cigarette since: truly marvellous as I had made at least five attempts to stop smoking previously using nicotine patches and counselled by the NHS Stop Smoking courses. I feel all smokers wishing to stop the dreadful habit should enrol for Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking Clinic course.

Just wanted to say thanks… I found the message really hit home with me and I haven’t smoked since or even wanted to. I really feel like I’ve quit for life and I am forever in debt to Allen Carr’s Easyway (Clinics)!! Thanks – you were inspiring and fascinating to listen to.

Dear Allen,
I have finished reading your book and although I did know a lot of the things you said, I found your approach new.
I have just had my last roll-up cigarette. I rolled it, left my desk and went for a walk in the glorious sunshine (I live in Paphos, Cyprus). As I walked, I saw other people smoking and although I was puffing away on my fag, I did have a genuine feeling of pity for them. How sad they looked. For myself, I smiled, knowing that this was the last cigarette I would smoke. I finished my walk by throwing the remainder of my tobacco, with filters, papers and lighter into a big rubbish bin. What a wonderful feeling! I am now a non-smoker!
Thank you for your advise, I am now looking forward to a wonderful life – smoking – not worth it – seeing my son grow up and spending many wonderful moments with him – something to look forward to.
Thanks once again.
Nick
Paphos, Cyprus.

It has just been my 2 year anniversary of stopping smoking with Allen’s Easyway book. I still can’t believe how easy it was and that I have never wanted one and I know that I will never ever smoke again.
THANKS Easyway and especially Allen (may he rest in peace) who has made my life (and thousand of others) a much better one.
Kindest Regards,

it is exactly 3 weeks now. i quit smoking. I finally did, after 23 years. I wasnt a very heavy smoker, but was very dependant. I abandonned any trial stopping smoking.
then i read the book…
though it is not based on psychanalysis, it works the same way. It shows you things you know but dont realise. It makes you face them with clearness and at a time you take the decision to stop smokimg with the same easiness you take your next breath.
the best thing is that is makes you independant while you are still a smoker, whereas others stay dependant years after they quit smoking.

Once you get past the fear of reading Easyway you will easily became a happy non smoker. i thought i would never be able to stop smoking i was a complete slave to the cigarette but i am proud to say that i stopped smoking 7 months ago after being a smoker for nearly 14 years and i havn’t looked back. Reading Easyway is the easiest and the best decision i’ve made yet. Thanks Allen Carr.

Discussing with smoking friends… Yes, they are afraid to read the book. But also they are sometimes not clever enough to steer their life to safe pleasures avoiding nocuous ones. Allen Carr explained me to steer, but one has to figure out by himself –where- to go using this new knowledge.

It’s almost been 1 and a half years since I quit smoking thanks to Allern Carrs book “Easyway to quit smoking for women”.
I could obviously not be happier, and still after all this time I get exited every time I hear someone is trying to quit smoking. I can’t help myself but to lift my chin a bit and tell them proudly about this unique easy peasy method to do it. No one believes me of course and so far no one has deared to pick up the book and read it…why I don’t know. I guess it’s either the fear of failur or the fear of how hard it’s been the previous times they tried to quit that puts them off from even trying.
Maybe they’ll soften to it one day when they see that I’m STILL a none smoker. :) To be honest, it feels like I never was one in the first place!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am most certainly not the type of person that would normally write a testimonial in the hope that it would be placed up on a website. I am often left wondering about the genuinity of testimonials. Having worked in sales for over 10 years I realize their power; they take a potential customer over the bridge to part with their money. They hold the consumer by the hand and lead them into a safe place where the buyer is happy to part with their money.
I am writing this testimonial for one reason, and one reason only; to let every single reader know that after trying methods beyond belief I finally found the method that worked, a method that came with no post-quit cravings. On Saturday the 28th of April 2007 I drove out of the parking lot of the Red Cow Hotel (having attended an Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking Seminar) in the confident knowledge that I would sooner eat a bag of coal than light up another cigarette, and a bag of coal was a mouth watering notion in comparison to smoking a cigarette.
So why do I write a mere 7 days later with such confidence? Surely I should wait 1 year before I can truly claim to be off the Cigarettes, they would have you believe. What if I have a re-lapse? Would such a testimonial cause me to have egg on my face? I was always made believe that cigarettes were difficult to quit, so any attempts were preceded with an expected failure. The simple fact is that I didn’t “wait” 7 days to write this. I didn’t allow myself 1 week’s trial run to test and see had I become a non-smoker, before going public on the matter. I would have written this testimonial the minute I left the seminar had I not been too busy celebrating my return to normality. I would have logged into my email account and told the world had I not been too busy out jogging with my delighted fiancé, enjoying the sounds and smells of the summer.
Unfortunately none of my old smoking friends were as happy, because it bothered them to see how easy I had found things. All of them had publicly or privately attempted to “give up” smoking, all had failed. They all hated the very thing they believed they loved; cigarettes. Many had reached the point where moral conscious and chest pain had conjured up the whim full desire to take Monday morning by the horns, and quit. None had quit with the mindset that they were saying goodbye to a genuine enemy however. Nostalgia kicked in by Wednesday, and by Friday the sinking ship was fully manned with a captain and crew. I had heard one of my friends had managed to stay strong, but he was nowhere to be seen. As it turns out he refused to go out socially for fear of relapse. What was plainly obvious was that the caption and crew of the sinking ship, and the man-over-board who was still clinging to a floating barrel of will power were all having their lives controlled by Nicotine. We had on one hand a group of smokers that had re-lapsed due to nostalgia, and on the other hand we had a poor soul depriving himself of a well deserved pint for fear of relapse. His mood was so fowl even his non-smoking girlfriend suggested he ought to go back on the smokes. Now we see that even non-smokers are brainwashed into thinking that a cigarette serves some sort of positive purpose.
In amongst all of this I calmly enjoyed my beer, felt sorry for my friends but had an amazing sense of happiness that I had my whole smoke-free life ahead of me, and that doors of opportunity would open up due to loosing the nicotine addiction. If you attend an Allen Carr seminar, open your mind and truly listen to what the clinic tutors tell you, you have no choice but to walk out of the clinic a non-smoker. Additionally I had read the book 2 years ago to no avail yet the seminar still worked. That is noteworthy for smokers in the same situation. Learning is triggered in so many different ways, and if the book doesn’t work it doesn’t mean the seminar will fail. I went from 20+ cigarettes per day to zero, I had no cravings, only memories. I am reminded of times I would dip into my pocket for a stick of woodbine, but it’s only a memory. It makes me smile. It’s almost like having a very bad flu and getting better. When you are fully recovered you may be reminded of the bad flu you had, but you’re left with a positive feeing of thankfulness that you’re over that ill feeling. You would no more want to go back and smoke as you would wish for that flu to revisit your immune system. The poor soul using will power is convinced he is missing out on a treat. I, however, am convinced and fully happy that as a result of loosing the disease of addiction I have the rest of my life to enjoy in health. I have stopped doing something that I know I never enjoyed, so I can’t crave it. I’m not substituting with food because I’m not feeling a vacuum.
Try it folks. Just try it. Beyond a shadow of a doubt the best decision I have ever made. It doesn’t take 1 year off the smokes to convince yourself that you are a non-smoker. All it takes is a small amount of invested time to learn the truth behind the illusion of smoking. If you believe the truth over the illusion you will walk out of the Allen Carr seminar a non-smoker who will never have to deal with cravings again.

I went to an Allen Carr session in London in 2001. I had smoked for 20 to 30 cigarettes a day for over 14 years and hadn’t tried to give up once despite wanting to.
I walked out of the session worried that I would “want” a cigarette. For the next month my only problem was a fear that I would “want” a cigarette but it never happened.
Shortly afterwards, I went through a bad patch for a few days and afterwards realised that not only had I not wanted to smoke but I didn’t even think about smoking!
That’s all seven years ago now and I can quite confidently say that I will never smoke again.
I just want to say thanks.

Listen..I wasn’t even going to stop. I just happened upon SCANDAL, read it, watched the Richard & Judy appearance and a few other television shows, and last night I was out drinking and everybody, literally everybody, was smoking, I even had a packet of Gauloises in my bag, looking all attractive, and I left them where they were. Just didn’t want them. Really didn’t want them, felt sick of the thought actually lighting one of them. Hey, I do not agree with everything Allen said, but God did he hit the nail on its head more than once.

Hi Guys,
I would like to thank Allen Carr and the team at EasyWay for writing and publishing this book. You guys are doing Gods work!!
As soon as I received the book in the mail I could not put it down. A friend of mine quit smoking recently after reading the book, I wanted to know what the magic secret was, of course there is no magic, NO illusion, just common sense!
I know that I can’t thank Allen Carr personally but if he is looking down on me I’m smiling up at him!
I have smoked a pack a day for over 20 years, I hated smoking and could not wait to finish a cigarette as soon as I had taken a few drags, I wanted my fix and be done with it. I also always carried a pack of mint gum to try and freshen my breath afterwards but knew it did not help much. I’ve tried to quit twice before using patches and gum… what an idiot!! Taking the same drug that I was trying to quit.
I had also received a book from my doctor suggesting ways of meditation to use my subconscious to quit. Written by esteemed doctors I’ll bet that they didn’t smoke a damn cigarette in their lives. What a crock that book was. I think I read about the first 15 pages.
My wife kept nagging me to quit and found it hard to kiss me because I smoked. My daughter is two and half years old, I want to see her grow up and didn’t want a smoking father to be her first role model for a man. The guilt I had trying to hide the fact that I was a smoker was huge.
I have been a non-smoker for over a week now and although I get the odd craving I have managed to fight them, I keep reminding myself of the wonderous things that will happen to me if I do not “pick up” (quoting from a wee book by Bill Wilson).
This morning I cycled up a hill near where I live on my way to work, as I cycled I noticed that I was not out of breath. I was grinning like a Cheshire cat when I got to the top. Normally I would be huffing and puffing. I can definitely attribute this to stopping smoking.
This book is THE NO B****X BOOK. Take the bull by the horns and get on with it. Thanks again.
Padraic McGrath, Munich.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW RELIEVED I FEEL!
I was a smoker for 7 years and recently became quite ill. Doctors thought it could be whooping cough or glandular fever, I was getting worse & worse. What made it worse, I wasn’t listening to my body – I continued to smoke! This went on for 4 weeks, when one night I ended up in the doctors clinic unable to breath. I was put on the nebulizer to control my breathing – that was my wake up call! I was going to STOP this endless and detrimental cycle that I have been putting myself through! I began on patches, and 11 days later discovered Allen Carr’s Easyway. I have since gone two days without patches and so much as a thought of having a cigarette. Honestly, I don’t understand how I have put myself through so much torture, unhappiness and will be forever greatful to Allen Carr and his mission to prove to the world what a mistake the world of smokers is making! Thank you and god rest your soul Allen.

Hi All
I haven’t had a cigarette in 8-ish years thanx to the most wonderful book ever written – ‘The Only Way’ My God all those years I was told that quitting was hard, that the cravings would drive me insane – What a load of garbage. There is currently an ad for Nicotine gum which tells smokers that the cravings will be so bad without their product – Any blinkin’ wonder people are scared to even try.
I gave my copy of ‘The Only Way’ to a number of people who have all quit. My problem is getting people to read it, the advertising that this company still allows is keeping people smoking.
I have even written to the Gov’t to express my thoughts and got a response to the effect that the Gov’t knows what it’s doing and to mind my bees wax (not wuite in those words)
Anyway, I hope more and more smokers find this book and the release it offers.
Warm regards

Firstly, thank you so much and many condolences for your loss of Allen.
I must admit I was very pesimistic when I bought the book in January and I finished reading it feeling apprehensive and nervous that I would fail.
I have quit after 7 years of smoking. Its been three and a half months, which doesn’t sound long when its written but for me it is ages. I really feel and know that I will never smoke again and I feel like I haven’t smoked for years.
The book has given me a perspective and realisation which I already knew deep down but hadn’t quite grasped. This book made these facts unavoidable. It is the most amazing book. I have been a complete fool for all those years, but now I wake up feeling free of worry for my health!
I cannot express mine and my family’s (who have begged me to stop for years)gratitude for such a simple and easy process, which I never ever believed was possible.
For anyone who is reading this thinking its all a big con/ won’t work for you and its just too good to be true. Believe it. GO AND BUY THIS BOOK.
If only the NHS stopped spending so much money on the “Quit Smoking” plan and just advertised Allen Carr’s amazing work!
With best regards,
Fiona (Aged 25)

We all sound the same, don’t we? Today is day 6 for me being a non-smoker as I’ve smoked almost a pack a day for 20 years. I think the only thing that aggrivates me is people who won’t read the book because they are afraid. They are afraid of success and afraid of failure….That was me too! If I had a million dollars to give to every person I know who smokes who agreed to just READ IT, and read it, I’d die a happy person because I would be guaranteed to know I contributed to at least one more happy person! (AND NOT BECAUSE YOU’D BE RICH, BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE FREE FROM THE SLAVERY TO THESE YUCKY CIGGIES!) Pleeeeese read this book! I BEG YOU!

Yee Harrr – 1 hour after posting the last comment to you (“on the way”) – I read the final few pages of Allen’s book and put out my final cigarette. I waited – nothing. 24 hours went by. Not one single urge to smoke! Can you believe it – after being so scared. Now two weeks have gone by and I have been in a dozen situations where collegeues were lighting up and urging me to do so too. I haven’t the faintest urge to – and instead end up telling them about easyway. 30 years I was caught in that trap – not one day without a cigarette in all that time. Why was I so scared – Allen you were a genius. And I will NEVER – EVER forget how I felt that day – and I will never be in that trap again or that scared again –
God will bless you Allen

Hello there, and thank you very much for continuing the Great Initiative started by Allen Carr. I also found out only today that he died last year. What a Fantastic Living Role Model for all of us. Even recently I was watching documentary on ABC about Allen Carr, and was amazed how down to earth and simple and modest this man is.
I’ve bought book 3 years ago and start reading, but English being my 2d language (first is Russian)I was soon tired up to translate every second word on the page. And even I’ve read most of the book it didn’t make any sense. May be you need to be ready??? Finally, this year 2007 in March, I told myself it’s time to quit with the book and I’ve re-read it again, this time very slowly, outloud and because most of translation was done before it was easy to read. Now it’s 6 week of being FREE and it’s absolutely INCREDIBLE.
I’ve tried for 3 years using different methods, spending thousands of dollars on cigarettes and cure – all at the same time. Patches, Hypnotherapy, Laser Method, other Clinics – nothing helped. I started thinking that I was born a Smoker and will die as one or something inside of me very evil that prevented me from stopping. I am so Greatful to Allen, his Website and people who continue his work.
P.S. I really would like to get a copy of book in Russian. Any Suggestions?
P.P.S. Also in his book “Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking” Allen revealing so many symptoms that will improve physically, I’ve also wanted to add that when you wake up in the morning – I use to have a lot of clogs in my eyes and ears. When I stop smoking they totally disappear.
Note from Allen Carr's Easyway : The publisher in Russia is www.dkniga.ru

My 22 year old daughter had tried to quit smoking unsuccessfully many times until she read “Easy Way to Stop Smoking.” She has not had a cigarette in a month even though many of her friends smoke.

I am so grateful to Mr. Carr for helping my children to quit smoking.

I am nearly at the end of the book and am amazed at what I have learnt and can identify with-after 8 yrs of smoking and trying so often to quit I really feel like finally I can. My most recent quit attempt was with an accupuncturist who charges a fortune for quit smoking treatment and claims a 98% success rate-I have tried and failed it 3 times!! I thought I was a failure and bad and all of that and couldnt work out why I just couldnt do it-after reading the book now I know and am looking forward to starting my journey as a very happy non smoker.
Thank you sooooo much Allen.

I have just finished reading “Scandal” and am part way through the EASYWAY to stop smoking. After trying everything inc hypnosis, nrt, acupuncture and cold turkey, I have to admit I am a combination of emotions! The book makes sense and I have a feeling of excitement that this could be it, but I fear failing in this method too. Trying to untangle the years of contradictory information (the packets (and Allen) tell me its addiction, the hypnotist says its just a habit, etc, etc) is proving hard. I darent read any further yet in case I get it wrong! I am going to leave any further reading until tomorrow to try and digest what I’ve read so far.
I hope to write back in a few days with the same elation as some of the testimonials on this page. If I dont get it after i’ve finished the book, I have enough faith in this method to save for an appointment at the clinic!

I cannot believe this book has been available for so many years and I wasn’t aware of it. I was recommended the book by Ken & Iris (In Spain), so I would like to thank them & wish Ken happy reading.
I was sad to find, after trying to find some more info on my guru, that he has passed. I would like to offer my condolances to Allen’s family. He is an inspiration and I am sure my long & happy future will be thanks to him.
I will endeavour to pass this book on and spread Allen’s word.

hey I have just quit smoking,, well my quit date is tomorrow actually, and i know its early days yet, but everything in this book makes sense!! i agree with everything this book is saying and i have no doubt that tomorrow i will wake up a happy non smoker, and it will continue. i had quit for 3 years once, but got back on it for some stupid reason and i was a heavy smoker like i used to be, thats monster wont take control this time!!
I’m currently living in South Korea and I was dissappointed when I saw this site as there is no Korean clinics!! I’m trying to get hold of some copies of the book that are written in Korean for my Korean friends here! Can anybody help me out with this?
Many thanks,
Paul

Hi
Went to the Stevenage session on 14th April and I am now definitely a non smoker. Its only early days but i’ve hardly noticed any withdrawal issues over the the past few days, so surely it can only improve over time.
Absolutely amazing really, I’ve tried nicorette products, hyponosis, Zyban all to no avail. Then after just one 5 hour session I am now free!!!!!
Thankfully

Hi fellow ex-smokers!! I kicked a 30 year habit last July thanks to the best book in the world…..it must be; no other book can save a life in the time it takes to read and understand it.
One of my favourite things as a proud non-smoker is to read this website every week (The other thing is to give away Allen Carr books willy nilly)!! Imagine my joy when I saw a message from my son, above, Ralph. Well done mate!!

I have attended a session at Allen Carr’s Easyway Clinic in Birmingham today held (and well held) by Robert Fielding.
I have tried the Allen Carr method in the past and the message cannot be any clearer. I personally let myself down years ago in a monent of drunkeness.
This wont happen again. Robert explained it all so well. I went to the pub straight after for a bit and didnt even want one !
The missus is dumbstruck and i’m e-mailing this as a happy free man.!!!!
I appreciate in life certain things are important and being a drug addict aint one of em !
Rob you were brilliant at delivering a message i had to hear once more.
Keep freeing people!!! Best wishes Martin…..

I would just like to post my thanks for the book! It has helped me to be a non smoker after 30+ years. I was one of those who thought I would never be a non smoker but the words in the book refuted all the pointless arguments that I had ever raised about being a smoker and I am proud to say that I have been a non smoker for 10 days now – not only that but my mother and sister have both become non smokers all thanks to the book.

Hi There
Can i just say that i have tried every method to give up smoking to no avail well after watching the video I can say I have now given up for good .
Instead of giving out nicotine patches
a copy of the video or book should be a govermental issue to all trying to give up smoking or any other addiction .
Thank you so much Alan I am free at last .

I have read the Easyway and now his Stop Smoking Permanently books. I couldn’t possibly have stopped smoking (I won’t use the word given up as I know I haven’t ‘given up’ anything!) without his books. I am 55 and have smoked 20 cigarettes a day since I was a teenager. I didn’t even give up when I was pregnant. It’s incredible to me that I’m a non smoker and have been for 11 months,and I’m delighted.

I quit smoking over 2 years ago, after nearly 25 years of smoking, after reading Allen’s book. I know I won’t smoke again. I can’t recommend Allen’s wonderful book enough to anyone who has repeatedly tried and failed to quit smoking for good. Thank you Allen, if there is a heaven I am sure you are there!

I am so grateful for this method, and so annoyed that the establishment never told me about it. I tried for years to quit using will-power, patches, gum etc. None of it ever worked. None of them ever stopped me smoking and they certainly never stopped me WANTING a cigarette.
Allen Carr’s method did both instantly, and I have neither smoked nor wanted to for a year now.
I know he’s gone now, but he must have died happy knowing how many people he helped.

I had been smoking for 10 years and became quite a heavy smoker. I did not belive that ‘just a book’ could help me quit…but it has! I have passed it onto my friends and the 2 that have read it have also quit and, like me, are amazed how easy it was.
Thanks Allen!!!

I wanted to burst out crying at reading these comments – still reading the book and itching to get to the final cigarette – but not quite there yet. The worst thing is that my husband read 45 pages and gave up in one day after reading what you said. I know I’ll get there too.

Not a day goes by that I dont get that feeling of elation knowing that I never will smoke another cigarrette again. I would never hear a bad word said about allen carr.

Thank you :) from 60 a day to zero with no cravings. No fear :) this is something I never thought I would be able to do and it has all been so easy. If someone told me all I had to do was read a book and I would become a non-smoker I would have and did laugh out loud. But then my sister read it and quit. She has been three weeks now and is still finding it easy.
Thank you so much Mr Carr you have changed my life. Perhaps even saved it, I will go on in your footsteps and if just one person reads the book because I did…

Hello Allen,
I finished reading your book yesterday morning and have been a non smoker yipee since.
I feel very confident, I have been a smoker for the past 20 years and have tried various times to quit using patches.
It is quite thrilling being able to tell that monster in my brain to go away I am not feeding him!
Thanks again, I have already recomended to a few friends and have ordered 3 books for birthday presents.

Hello,
Just wanted to say, just awesome.
I am now as of 10 minutes a very happy nonsmoker, as i was 5 minutes before i started to smoke 20 years ago. And i just feel wonderfull and life smiling.
I owe you alot Allen Carr.
My most sincere and humble thank you for writing this book, and point out the easyway of quit smoking.
When i started to read the book i was a bit sceptic i must say, but after each page i read i slowly felt life pooring back into my body. And i started to feel life. I feelt happier, i feelt like a big stone fell of my chest. And now 6 hours of consecutive reading i threw away the last 10ish cig’s. And now i can entitle myself a happy nonsmoker!
(i couldnt stop reading it was to good to stop in the middle).
Once again thank you thank you thank you for this wonderfull book!

Smoked for 13 years with almost 2 off through willpower; today is my 21st day as an ex-smoker!
Anyone reading this, who is still a smoker, please know that you can STOP, with no will-power or substitute products. The Easyway unswitches all the switches you have turned on in your head, over the years, to make you keep on smoking.
I read the stop smoking permenantly book and to my complete surprise, I know I am utterly free from smoking forever. I am the envy of all my smoking pals- I just laugh when they come out with patches….just read, think about it & look forward to your life without the burden of cigarettes. I am still clearing the years of toxins from my skin, but already I feel fitter & more relaxed than I can remember in my adult life.

I am 36 and have now given up smoking after starting when I was 14. I love my husband dearly but would lie and cheat to carry on smoking in the 6 years we have been married feeling terrible guilt and indignation at my situation.
Now I can love him even more as ther is no ‘hidden secret’ between us. There may be a diffenrent one in the years to come but at least I have stopped smoking and I can love him without fear of guilt or stupidity at continuing to smoke.

I am 27 years of age and smoked from the age of about 15, until today. I have tried many times in recent years to stop, trying all sorts of different ways, until i found the easyway. It just made sense, made me wake up and realise what i was slowly doing to myself, made me face up to my demons and fight them i suppose. I know i will do it this time because i have realised ITS NOT HARD UNLESS YOU KEEP TELLING YOURSELF IT IS. Tell yourself it is actually quite easy and its amazing how easy it is. Stop making excuses, take your head from the sand and wake up to a life without cigarettes, its much better! God rest your soul Alan Carr, and thank you for saving my life.

I stopped smoking three months ago after being hooked for 17 years. It was easy and painless and an answer to a years long search for something to help me do what I wanted to do; namely, be free of nicotine. I’ve now made it a goal to let as many smokers as possible know about the book.

I had absolutely no intention of stoping smoking and was merely browsing the top 100 book sales at a bookstore when I came across Allens book. I decided to buy Easyway for reasons unknown – I’m not into these ‘self-help’ stupidities!
Shock horror, four hours later – (I’m a quick reader) – I was a non-smoker and certainly not laughing at the self-help book now! Can’t believe it.
I am forever indebted to Mr Carr for his common sense and logic. You do not have to want to stop smoking to read this book – in fact, the challenge is try not to be a quitter once you’ve read it!
You’ll be amazed – it’s the most mysterious thing I have ever experienced.

Hi there Alan,
I am a 40 year old female and gave up smoking around 3 years ago after reading your book. I had tried many things over many years to kick the habit but nothing had worked. I was thrilled to finally acheive this goal and all thanks to you.
My husband now wants to give up so have told him to read the book. There are two problems though one is that he is not a reader and is struggling and two is that the words are so small for him. I am wondering if you have tapes of the book as to help him. look forward to your feedback.
Kind regards

Hello,
I’ve done it! After 25 years I am a non-smoker. No withdrawal symptoms, stress or fear – just like Allen said. I really never thought I’d ever stop. I tried a few times and lasted minutes rather than hours. It really is like breaking free from some horrible trap and Allen was spot on – again.
The only bad news is that I have only just heard of Allen’s passing. I only found out about his book last month and ordered it on amazon. I really wish he knew how much he has helped me. Then again, perhaps he does. I hope so.
Thanks.

I made the mistake at Christmas of breaking a 6 month willpower abstinence which ended up in a 3 month return to my 20 a day addiction. I was into the patches for a week before I read Alan’s book. It seems so stupid now to look back and think I actually thought it was doing something for me all those years. I threw the patches in the bin, where they belong and my response to the question “would you like a cigarette” last weekend was “would you like me to inject you with heroin?” – I think we’re making our point.

Read your book a week ago, and been a non-smoker ever since! I feel happy, fresh and full of energy already.
I’ve tried to tell my friends, colleagues, fiancé... Everybody about your book and how it helped me and has helped millions of people… But they won’t listen.
It’s like I’m trying to tell them about a god they don’t believe in.
It’s really annoying. Tell a friend how he can save his life, and he won’t listen!
Anyhow, I’m happy I listeded to the ex-smoker who recommended your book! I will continue my work trying to make people to read your book (some have gotten interested already), and hope we’ll have one of your clinics in Finland some day.

My partner was sceptical when I said to him “this is my last cigarette”, but I guess I would be sceptical too if he was picking butts out of the ashtray if there ever was an occasion that he out of cigarettes (gross what was I thinking-evil evil stuff). I have had 2 big nights out at the pub and have really aborsbed how filthy and horrid cigarettes are.

I have been a heavy-smoker,smoking 1-2 packs a day for 15 years.
Also I had been suffered from the smoking which devastates my life and family, losing the dignity and respect from my children. I repeatedly
promised to stop smoking to my family members, which was never kept.
I bought this special book just yesterday and I have read it really carefully and with open mind.
I finally understand the hidden trap of the smoking and join the nonsmoker!!!

I had smoked from the age of 15, I am now 37 years old and a father and a non smoker. I had been promising my son that I would “pack in the fags” for over 3 years. I got the book from my brother 2 years ago and had been putting off reading it. I read the book in 3 days and had my last cigarette on the 31st January 2007 at about 10.30pm.
I am now able to keep up with my son (well nearly!) on the football pitch for the first time without my lungs feeling they are going to implode, I have no pains in my chest and I have bought myself loads of new clothes with the cash I have saved.
I genuinley believe that I would not have succeeded without the use of the book.

My partner was told that he had to stop smoking and he asked me if I would try to stop as well. So I agreed but I still felt that I enjoyed smoking at the time. I had smoked for 13 years and was a bit afraid but a friend told me about Allen Carr’s book.
I finished the book on the 1st of July 2006 and I am enjoying my life as a non smoker, the feeling of freedom that I had still remains and It was a pleasant experience to know that I was beating the weed.
Now any time somebody I know says “i really should stop smoking” I hand them a copy and tell them of my success.
Now i can enjoy my life without the shackles of addiction! Thank you so much Mr Carr.

I feel a slight apprehension because it feels like such a long time since I went without smoking but already I feel liberated and have stopped making excuses to have a cigarette. I already feel pity and not envy for those I’ve seen in the street smoking. Allen Carr’s book is the best I have ever read and might possibly save my life!

The book gave me the confidence I needed to become a non-smoker. I am so thankful that Alan made it is life work to share his knowledge and help me to be happy and proud of myself.

So I decided to quit and came across Allens book – whamo – it was like a little miracle. I put out that final cigarette and I know a few years on that I will never touch another one again. What a contribution to have made – a remarkable man whose legacy will live on in the lives of all those people who gave up the easy way. THANKS ALLEN

For 15 years smoking 2 packs a day I tried to stop only once, last year, and it lasted 15 HOURS. What a failure. A year later, I got this book from my brother-in-low. I said: “No way there’s an ‘easy way’ 2 quit smoking. No-no. ‘been there – done that. It’s a hell I am not planing to go through again.” Then I read the book. Then I quit. It was almost a month ago. Now i know i will never smoke again.
I could not find appropriate words to express how I feel right now, but I think that simple THANK YOU will do the magic. Also wish to thank you in the name of my friends and family who also quit smoking after they read THE book.
Right now I am reading “Scandal” paper and I think that we should join our efforts to advocate Allen Carr’s method.
Thanks again dear mr. Carr, so sad you’re not with us, but with millions you helped, your idea is still being promoted around the world. RIP, your goal is to be reached soon.

started smoking 2 years ago at 40!!! how stupid am i? gradually went from a couple a day…to 5 a day , 10 a day, then 20 a day.
our kids hate us smoking. they have been accused of smoking themselves at school because of our disgusting habbit.
read allens book over 2 days, couldnt put it down. smoked my head off while reading it, then about halfway thru, i was sooo excited about getting to the end and that “final cigarette!”
stopped just like that, only 2 days ago, but no cravings atall! my husband has just picked up the book but is doing the willpower method in the meantime and he’s REALLY suffering. i would say dont stop till youve read the book. it makes you read it and take it in better, then the penny drops and you just DONT WANT TO SMOKE ONE MORE FAG, EVER!
i cant stress how easy this is .
i have had a couple of “right, get a cigarette” moments, but they pass in seconds, no pain, no craving. i feel 110% confident i will never smoke again. why the hell would i?
thank you allen. RIP.xx

I run a public house in Lancs and one of our regulars came up to me and started going on about this book that helps you quit smoking. To be really honest I didn’t really think much of it but this guy said it made him quit so I thought I’d give it a go as it’s pretty hard to quit when everyone else is smoking around you and I felt I needed a bit of a push.
I’ve been smoking for over 10 years and managed to quit just once for six months using nicorette gum but started again on a girls night out 6 months later!!
I got the book and couldn’t put it down, I felt I could relate to all of it, I actually sat up until 1am and read the entire book in one day, I’ve not felt the need for a cigarette yet and hopefully will never again!!!
I was upset to hear Allen himself had died of lung cancer last year…
I now hope for many smoke free years!
Thank you Allen xxxx

I cannot believe that Easyway isn’t the Medical Professions number one recommendation on how to quit.
I have been a smoker for 15 years and tried a few times to give up in that time. The longest ‘attempt’ lasting two and a half weeks.
Today is my 14th day as a non smoker. I have not yet passed my ‘record’, but I know that this time I have done it. I have escaped the prison that is the Nicotine Trap.
Everyday as a non smoker has been wonderful. I have had no cravings. No desire to return to the disgusting cancer sticks. My friends at work have also given up with EasyWay and likewise are happy and amazed at the ease that the system brings to kicking the addiction.
Much thanks to Allen Carr, it is a shame that you will not be able to read these words now. But you were a genius, who deserves to have your message delivered to everyone on the planet. When they hear the obviousness of the truth, smoking cigarettes will become obsolete.

This book really does work, after 25 years of thinking i enjoyed smoking now i am finally free. I read the book 2 weeks before christmas 2006 and stopped smoking immediately, never looked back since, every day is like i have been liberated from the evils of smoking.
If you want to stop, read this book.
Many thanks

I was a 50/60 a day smoker and had been smoking for 39 years. In my time I ahd tried stopping using will power, (I haven’t got any!), patches, (too expensive and not effective), hypnotism, (worked for about a week), nicorette chewing gum, (the most disgusting substance on earth, including cigarettes).
Nothing worked until my daughter gave me the book and informed that if I wanted to hold my soon to be born first grand-child, I had to read the book and stop smoking.
I finished the book on 7/12/06 and have not smoked since, and have found no desire to go back.
I’m working in a remote location in the UAE, and have helped two other heavy smokers to stop. I and am currently trying to track down an Arabic version of the book for another colleague.

Thank you Allen.
It is incredible what your method has done for me. I always thought I was never going to be able to quit smoking, untill I took the therapy in Mexico City. It has been more than 1 month that I haven`t touched a cigarette, and the smell of cigarette smoke has become very unpleasant for me. Friends and co-workers are completely amazed that they never see me smoking anymore.
Something in my mind has changed from one moment to the other that day of the therapy. Cigarettes are undesirable since then. Send you all my love. Thank you.

yes I am writing to tell you that something I never thought would happen to me did!!!!
I had been a smoker for more than 50 years and had been wanting to give it up for a very long time as I was suffering with what I thought was asthma ( turned out to be chronic obstuctive pulminary disease)
like all cigarette addicts I had tried so may different things ( patches, gum, hypnotherapy. had spent a lot of money and was at a loss to know what to do about it.
on reading the sunday paper one day I saw an article on this programme that promised you a full refund of your money if it didnt work ( well you can imagine how I felt) I phoned and was told the sessions were all booked out for a few months so being very disappointed I told the lady ( dianne) that I really had to attend as she was my last hope and told her my history well she kindly squeezed me in for a just a few weeks later. I attended on july 29th 2006 and now on march 17th 2007 I have never had a smoke in my mouth , cant stand the smell and know for certain that I will never ever poison my self any more. so I am truly in your debt and I thank you for me, my family,my partner ( who also gave it up)truly a miracle!!!! yours truly gwen garrett

I had tried to quit a few times before, but with miserable results. I decided I was just happier smoking.
I was given the book by a co-worker. I had no intention of quitting, but as soon as I picked up the book I couldn’t stop reading. It blew my mind. The next day I smoked my last cigarette and I’m done. I am free!
Yippeee!!
Thank you sir, God bless your soul!

I was your average smoker, 20 a day for over 20 years (can this monstrosity really be “average”?), convinced by several ill-prepared, ill-informed attempts that quitting would be hell.
One day my wife reported that my 2 year old son told her that he was “pretending to have a cigarette in the garden”.
It proved too much for me. I couldn’t be so addicted that I was preparing my son to become an addict too.
Unconceivable, but still, I was full of fear about the idea of not smoking ever again. Me becoming a non-smoker? But I’m SOOO addicted!
Back to square one: so addicted that I could live with the possibility that I could in any way influence my son to become an addict too (or any other child)?
Fear of succeeding AND fear of failing…
How can I live with both?
Something had to give.
So decided to face my fear of failing. And decided to become a non-smoker again (I was one before I started smoking, so there must be a viable version of me as a non-smoker!).
Agreed to get some help – what would be the point of going macho at that stage, and make it all on my own? I had decided that the only thing that mattered was the end result: to quit smoking. Don’t care about the process. Don’t care about the pain (although painless would still be preferred over painful…).
Booked in an Allen Carr clinic as I understood that their success rate was high, and it was free (if estimated in number of non-smoked cigarettes, given the terms of the money back offer).
I’m happy to report that there was no pain involved. No magic either. But it worked. It worked fantastically well. It worked so well, smoking is so out of my system that I don’t even remember if it was 5 or 6 months ago now!
I have become a non-smoker. I don’t have to think about it. It’s gone.
I am much happier with my life now. Think I’ll have more babies.
Thank you Allen and all those in your organisation.

I started smoking in Hospital in 1980 when i was 20yrs old in Whyalla, Australia – how crazy was that being able to smoke in hospital.
When i was a smoker, I always joked that i was not a quitter and that once I started something I would see it through to the end
Well I am a Quitter and I am so dam proud of it and I have been for over 18 months.
I read the book twice, the first time to quickly and I made the mistake of telling everyone that I had quit. The smokers circled round me like vultures trying to encourage me back.
The second time I read it slowly, over a few weeks and I found I handled it with ease. Of course I didn’t tell a sole this time, sort of,double agent style :)
Except that one day when i nearly got biffed by a few guys at the pub as I sat there quietly having a beer, waiting for my son to arrive, Why, because i was watching their body language and their reaction to one of the group who was not a smoker. Then one of them came over and asked if I was gay for staring at them for so long – hehehe! Once I explained why I was looking, we all had a beer together. It was so funny to watch them sneakingly have their smokes there after.
What an absolute legend you are Allen, when I get to heaven you will be one of the first people I will give a hug, thanks mate

Thank you Allen Carr – I’m a VERY happy non-smoker for 7 months (after being addicted for 20 years!) My husband still smokes (going to a clinic on 15/03/07). These past 7 months I never once craved a sigaret, I had parties with smoking friends, handled stress better and did not even notice my husband smoking in our house or cars. It’s amazing, but it works! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
My sister is also going on your clinic on 21/03/07! I am convinced that both hubby and my sister will be happy non-smokers soon!

To the Allen Carr Team
Re: Scandal
I loved this book. I Printed 3 copies and handed them out to my friends with the instructions that they also spread the word around. I provided the web site. It gave me a wonderfully easy understanding into the insight of the pharma / research industry that I had never thought about. Feedback from my friends is the same impression I have. I have to admit that I have saved a printed copy in my personal favorite books collection. I am looking forward to when my local bookstore will carry it in stock.
Thank you for all the info you have provided. Thank you for changing my life, thank you for helping me take a deeper, more in-depth look at everything around me and most of all, thank you for making such a difference in my life*** first by helping me become a non-smoker again and second for helping me see why I love being a non-smoker again.
If I can ever do anything at all to help, just let me know. I am forever grateful.

I wanted to say a great thank you for reading this book.
My brother has brought me the book when he got back from England 2 years ago.
I used to smoke 20 a day & I hated every one I inhaled.
I really wanted to quit smoking but I couldnt find my way out.
The book gave me exactly what i wanted.
I have recently tried smoking a cigarette (after more than a year), And it proved to me how this book is amazing & correct.
Today I’m truelly immunized against the drug – And it is all thanks to this amazing man.
Im really sad the world has lost such a person.
Definitely a must read book.
Thank you.

Subject: Allen Carr – Easyway to Enjoy Flying
Hello,
I’ve just logged onto the Allen Carr website as I really wanted to express my thanks for the above guide. I have just returned from a three week holiday in Australia and New Zealand, which I would have never been able to undertake prior to reading the book. For years I have suffered with severe panic attacks for weeks before flying right up until I was home again, and what’s more hated every second of a flight.
Thanks to this book, I not only managed two long-haul (23 hour) flights plus three internal flights in the space of three weeks, but was really excited by the prospect of them and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. I managed to sleep on the planes and did not have one panic attack or negative thought regarding the travelling throughout the entire holiday. It was absolutely wonderful.
I would be very happy to give a testimonial in huge support and thanks of this method.
Many thanks and best wishes
Claire

This book was amazing. About two years ago, a friend recommended this book. She had read it and stopped. I wasn’t ready to quit, so I didn’t read it (I was afraid it might actually work).
About a month ago, I decided to try quitting for a number of various reasons. I was ready to go with a whole stop plan based on things we’ve all heard..drink lots of water, avoid temptation, keep your mouth and hands busy, get gum, etc. The plan was to smoke my last one on my birthday.
Then I remembered this book. So I went out bought it, and started reading. I finished it in less than a week, and smoked my last one five days before my birthday. The best birthday gift I ever got.
I didn’t need any of the stuff I was prepared to use, just in case. It was by far the easiest thing I’ve ever done. My husband smokes, but it doesn’t bother me and in the past two weeks I have not once wanted to light up.
Now, I have to get my hands on a copy of EasyWeigh to Lose Weight and see if that one works just as well. I had always planned on losing weight first and then thinking about quitting smoking since I thought that would be easier. This way has proven to be much easier. I’m already feeling more energetic and more motivated to get rid of all of this excess weight because I am now a non-smoker and love it.

Hi I just finished your book, and smoked my last cigarette, even though by the point in the book, when it said to smoke the last one, i was ready to go without it. It was a players, a brand I particularly detest, it was a filthy smoke and it made my heart hurt. Somehow, i feel confident that i can quit smoking for the rest of my life. If you would like e-mail me in 3 weeks, 6 months to see how i have progressed

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I never thought that I could ever be so happy and not be smoking. You were right, it was soooooo easy. I am grateful for giving me my life back. The smoking was ruining my life and destroying my health one cigarette at a time. It got to the point that climing 8 stairs would wind me and cause me to hyperventilate.
Today, at week 3 of freedom from the slavery of smoking, I can do many things that I was scared of before, like climb those stairs and many more. I no longer go home feeling tired after work and more happily, I no longer fall asleep on the couch every single night feeling sick and done for by 7pm. The cigarettes were killing the intamacy and spunk in my marriage. I was always feeling too tired and sick to do or go anywhere.
Today…..I HAVE ENERGY. I have a spunk in my step. I want to go out. I no longer want to or feel the need to lay down on the couch. I feel re-vitalized. Even though I know that my body is still in recovery from 24 years of smoking, I feel stonger and healthier every day that passes. I now sleep peacefully and soundly. Words cannot convey the gratitude I feel. I will spread the sheer joy of EASYWAY and the freedom it has given back to me. It is funny how I never remembered how I use to feel as a non-smoker until I became one again.
What an elation, what a wonderful gift I have received, what a great difference in my life this freedom has created. Thank you to the Allen Carr Team from my husband, my 4 children and most of all from my 5 year old, who after almost a year of begging me to stop, finally got his wish.
THANK YOU , THANK YOU , THANK YOU

I have tried to quit many times. Always was in withdrawal, using drug, patches or what ever to get by. A friend of mine saw an ad for the book on TV and came in and told me about it. I went out and bought it the next day. I read it in 3 days. I committed to quiting 3 days after I read the book. I put out my last cigarette on January 17,2007 and never looked back. No withdrawal, no pain or fear or anxiety. Not even any weightgain. It’s so amazing I can’t tell you how excited I am. I had my revelation on the first day when I realized how matter of factly I had just quit. I know I will never have another cigarette.

I had tried numerous times and ways of giving up – tried patch twice and zyban – nothing worked for me. I read Allen’s book ‘Easyway for Women to Stop Smoking’ – I have to say I was a little dubious about the whole thing. I did not stop immediately after completing the book but I did keep in mind and focus on his advice. 2 weeks later I got my life back and to use Allens phrase ‘I was free’. I was really upset to hear of Allen’s illness and then death – what a cruel twist of fate. But, I have a lot to thank him for – I have been free for 9 months.

Hi
Allen wrote of the ‘epiphany’ after becoming a non-smoker. Well, after two weeks and a day or two, I suddenly felt an incredible feeling of ‘I’m cured and free-I’ve really acheived it’! I had always felt unhappy and frustrated whenever I ‘gave-up’ the evil weed, but after reading Allens book, I felt like a non-smoker. I’ve been to the pub, gone to see live bands and been in the company of smokers and I have not been in the slightest bit enticed by the foul smell. Amazing. This is after 30 years of smoking and trying not to, with patches, sprays and gum adding to the misery. I can only wish Allens family and colleagues all the very best-he was a gifted and insightful human being.

I really wanted to write to say thank you to Allen for the difference he made to me. I was very sad to hear of his death and hoped this message might be forwarded to his family and also to other people who work at the clinics.
I used the easy way to stop smoking successfully 5 years ago. It ranks as one of the best things I ever did.
I really love being free from any kind of need or desire to smoke and all the amazing benefits that go with it – my health (I can now run and enjoy it so much), my finances (whilst secondary to my health, the financial impact of smoking 30 a day was bad and worsening), the fear of being somewhere and not enjoying it because I couldn’t smoke. The fear of dying prematurely at my own hand and for no positive benefit.
I am sure everyone there knows this but I also wanted to say that Allen did not die in vain. The difference that he has made to me and countless others is such a gift.
If anyone around me ever says they wish to stop smoking or are thinking about it I always recommend the Easy Way to Stop Smoking and will continue to do so.
Thank you

After trying many many times to stop smoking and having smoked for 18 years, I bought this book out of the blue and read it in the fall 2005, and I tried then to stop, but I was not brainwashed enough but every cigarette a lit was awful, tasted bad, gave me bad breath, etc. Therefore, 3 months later, the month of my birthday I decided this would be my gift to myself, and I stopped after re-reading Allen’s book and I never have touched a cigarette again. It is now 1 year that I’m a non-smoker and I feel great.

A colleague at work told me about the Allen Carr book, Easyway to Stop Smoking. She had stopped smoking about 9 days earlier using this method. I have to say I was sceptical. I bought the book the following Saturday 28.01.2007.I read it on the Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday evening 29th. at 10.45pm I told myself I had smoked my last cigarette. The next morning I went about my business getting ready for work, I did not smoke all day and found it very spooky. I could not believe I had made the decision to stop smoking. It is exactly 20 days since I stopped and I have not smoked one single cigarette in that time. Yes I have had some moments when the nicotine monster has grumbled at me, I turned my back and said no, no more. I am now a non-smoker, I honestly never thought I would hear myself say that.

I quit smoking four months ago and am extremely happy. I had tried many times to quit smoking using every method known to man, but having started smoking at 12 i thought it was never going to be easy. I read Allan’s book and distinguished my last ciggerette on the 26th September 2006.
I then jumped on a plane to South East Asia where I had planned to come travelling for 6 months. Quiting the Easyway was just that, so easy! Now I wonder how i would cope if I still smoked! How did I even find the time??? The highlight was when I trained to be a mahout (an elephant handler) in thailand for the day. I spent the whole day on the back of this amazing animal and never once had to get down for a pesky filthy fag! How wonderful it is to be free!!
I was extremely sad to hear about Alan, but I will never forget him and what he has done for me. x

This book helped me to escape from smoking suffering no severe withdrawal symptons.I have used will power to stop many times before for varying lengths of time … but always craved for nicotine and ended up smoking again.
This book easy way is amazing in that it totally gets your head around the problem of this addiction and explains easily on how to stop.
I have often looked on testamonials with a large degree of scepticism .. but believe me if I am leaving one its because it works.
truly amazing…. Allen Carr is the man … thanks so much

I cannot believe it has been over eight months since I smoked my last cigarette by reading the easyway method. I am so so happy to be a non-smoker. I have had some of the most stressful times recently, and it hasnt once occured to me to smoke, I couldn’t think of anything worse, when I think of smoking now it makes me feel sick. And I smoked heavily for 16 years. For the first time I was able to declare myself a non smoker at the doctors, what a great feeling that was!
I have told everyone of this method, and many have taken my advice and are now non smokers themselves, including my mum and sister.
I am so sad and sorry to hear that Allen Carr has passed away. What great sadness that such a hero and life changer is no longer with us. Thank goodness his legacy lives on with the fantastic therapists and the easyway method.
Thank you for my life and dignity back, and for freedom from slavery, and a special thanks to john dicey

Thank you to Mr. Carr’s Book EasyWay to Stop Smoking. I am 3 weeks a non smoker now and believe his method is what sealed the deal for me. I was ready to quit, but was still very afraid of withdrawals. I have had NONE after changing the way I think about smoking and my nicotine addiction, and I owe that to Mr. Carr’s method. I hope his family is comforted in the fact that his work continues to help people around the world! Thank you again from Houston Texas USA!

It is eight years since I stopped smoking after smoking for nearly twenty I read Allen Carr’s book once and knew I wasn’t ready. I read it twice and knew then that I would give up. I never looked back and feel a huge debt of gratitude to an extraordinary man. All I had to do was make up my mind. If you are reading this and feel exasperated that you cannot give up don’t stop trying. Making your mind up is simple… but it’s not always easy. Good luck!!!

Yippee! I’m a NON-SMOKER!
I am happy again ~ I can breathe again. And all this just by reading reviews about the book! I did get the book and read it too, but as a non-smoker. For 18 years I was brain-washed.
Thank you for the guidance and inspiration to being free again, and not just in regards to the smoking but every aspect of my life.

A little over a year ago I read your book and have not smoked since. I actually feel sorry for those who do and tell them about your book. Unfortunately I have not talked to anyone who has used it, if they only knew how EASY it is.
Best book I ever read and the best book I ever will.
Thanks

Cannot really remember how long i have quit for, about 3 weeks, but it makes no difference how long because I’ll be a non-smoker for the rest of my life.

Woe the bitter irony of your death & bless your soul.

I smoked for 12 years and was arrogant about the fact that “i didnt want to quit!”. I was the guy who would flip the finger to anyone preaching, or trying to get me to quit.
I took my time reading your book and finished it after about 2 weeks. By the time i was about half way through the book, i already felt myself becoming a non-smoker!!
So when i finally finished the book i was thrilled to toss my last smoke away .. and it has now been 6 months without a single craving. I actually pitty those who still go for smoke breaks!
My hat is off to you, and i am sending everyone to this site.

I would have never believed it had I not done it myself. After more than 20 years of smoking, Easy Way helped me to lose my fear of quitting which was easily my biggest obstacle. I have been smoke free for a year! I am STILL elated every time I think about NOT smoking. There are no cravings – only happiness when I beam with pride at the power I have regained. I am excited to share, and I do share whatever I can about Easy Way with all those I meet who smoke. Then, every time someone asks me where to get the book, I just buy it for them because I believe in the program because it worked so well for me. It is a small price for such a large gift. I wish I could buy one for every smoker I know! Not a single craving, no association problems (I still LOVE my coffee) and I’m not the reformed smoker I feared I’d become.
I have often been asked to speak at local stop smoking programs and always mention this method and how positive it makes the whole process seem, rather than the negative I had feared.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! You saved my life.

Thank God for Allen Carr….I never believed I could be a ‘non-smoker’ after having smoked for 28 years. But now, at age 46, I have my life back – and I feel so much better on so many levels. I get stronger and healthier everyday. I don’t know why I feared quitting and put it off for so long. Allen’s Easy Way is exactly that! I stopped smoking 4 weeks ago and I know that I will never want or need another cigarette again!

Cork & I, would like to express our thanks for your book. I believe it will allow us to enjoy the remaining part of our lives free and healthy. We are both very sorry to hear of your recent discovery of lung cancer. Please know, our thoughts are with you and your family. Thank you again for the light, no pun intended.

I have not smoked for a year now, mainly due to the inspiration that allen carr’s books gave. No one before had explained to me the complexities of the nicotine trap so accurately.I now realise the only way to quit successfuly is to understand how smoking works. Knowledge is your best weapon in your quest to be free, and the truth will set you free.My tip is to keep on reading ‘the only way to stop smoking permanentely’ if you are finding it hard sometimes as your mind absorbs and understands things you miss on the first read, as the addictive mind starts to heal.Once you have read and understood Allen Carr’s method you can never really be hooked into smoking again because you can never unlearn the knowledge you have!, so be happy and rejoice in this fact.and remember it is ok to think about smoking sometimes, some days alot with out having to start up again. Thinking about it is not a command to smoke. regards Richard.

I happened upon this book in the format of an audio book.
Stopping smoking had not even entered my head as being an option last week.
I listened to about half of it and had a few days off, since I knew it was going to help me stop I was starting to feel a little scared.
Two days later I listened to the rest of the book and hey presto, I smoked my last cigarette just over 48 hrs ago.
I truely never believed it could be so easy, especially since I hadnt really planned on stopping.
Thank you for making my life my own once more!

I bought a small book by Allen Carr a long time ago and that nearly inspired me enough to quit smoking. Unfortunately I was foolish enough to hide that book away (unconciously) and to pretend that I could quit another time. 2 years later I bought the full easyway book and it really opened my eyes to all of the lies that society, government and many other people would have you believe about smoking.
I am now FREE and feel fantastic. I cannot explain how grateful I am for the opportunity to stop smoking and really enjoy running!

I`d like to tell the world about the amazing stopping smoking method,which is Allen Carrs way. I smoked for 37 years. Tried to stop for 32 of them.Tried nicotine gum,patches,lozenges,nasel spray,herbal cigs etc etc. Then i was given Allen Carrs book Easyway to read.I must say i was very very sceptical.But i was desperate.I read it and it did enlighten me.but did not stop me .I knew though after reading it that i had found my cure. I then bought Allens the only way to stop smoking permantly,and have not smoked since.Only been ten weeks but I know it`s for life. Rest in peace Allan. Thankyou (ps my kids are over the moon)

My sister gave me the Easyway book to read. I knew I should stop smoking but wasn’t sure if I wanted to. I read the book anyhow thinking it might help. Well…........I couldn’t put the book down. I followed what Allen suggested thinking that it would be hard but worth a try. I continued to smoke throughout reading the book just as it said to do but found that it changed my way of thinking about smoking. It has been 5 days now since I was stopped with minimal urges to smoke, I can always change my thought process and do not miss smoking one bit. Thank you – I am really amazed at the effect this book had on my way of thinking.

I stumbled over Allen Carr´s Easyway book yesterday when I entered a stationary shop in order to buy a pen. It lay on top of a pile of reduced-price-books (?) right at the door. I took a copy of it, found the pen, paid and went home. I started reading immediately, went to bed halfway through, went on reading this morning and stopped smoking at noon.
I´m 55 years old, have smoked since I was 22 and have never tried to stop before. But I have had the thought that someday I will…AND THAT DAY IS TODAY!!!
Thank God I needed a pen yesterday.
PS
I threw away four packages of perfectly fine cigarettes and then realised that today is a day full of stress (it´s -20 degrees Celsius outside, inside it´s only +15 because the heating system malfunctions, I have work at the computer up over my neck and I will probably not be able to start the car) but the stress doesn´t seem to bother me?

Carr’s book has quite possibly saved my life.

Hi everybody! This is surely the happiest web page in the world!!! I gave up last July without the slightest effort thanks to Allen’s book. There is no way on Earth that I could have done this without the ‘de-brainwashing’ of the book. I have just realised that I have used the phrase ‘gave up’.....part of the brainwashing of course!!
I would just like to say that here in England at the moment there is a very expensive GOVERNMENT campaign on the TV to ‘help’ people to stop smoking. IT STARTS WITH A LIE!!....Something like: ‘If you’re a smoker, giving up is really hard’. Yes, it is if you use the government’s preffered method…...i.e MORE NICOTINE!!. Anyway, I must say that although I don’t think about smoking anymore, I do read this page every week. It sometimes brings a lump to my throat!!

Easy Way book was recommended to me by a colleague and her husband who used to, between them, smoke around 80 cigarettes per day until they read Allens’ book. Since reading the book neither myself or my partner have smoked and have no intention or desire to ever do so again. Allen changed the way we thought about cigarettes and inspired us to put an end to smoking. I am so grateful that my colleague told me about the Easy Way to stop smoking that I have now recommended it to several of my friends. God bless you all at Easy Way. x

I had a friend give me the Easyway book to read. I filed that book for a year and half before I picked it up and when I did – I truly had no intention of stopping smoking – at best I hoped it would give me strategies to cut down alittle bit. I continued to smoke throughout reading the book just as it said to do, and I laughed saying – yeah, as if I would stop just from reading this book…..but half way through I found that when I smoked all I felt was the little monster being fed…..and I felt like a slave to it! It has been 5 days now since I was freed and not even the smallest desire to smoke. Thank you – I am still too amazed to believe it is true. Allen Carr was truly a great man.

Yes! I’m a non-smoker again!
I started smoking at 19 y of age. Stupid stupid thing. I am now 32 and managed about 30-40 cigarettes a day and was all stressed out.
The EASYWAY was my way out.
I am telling everyone of this great book and the easy way to quit smoking – I wish someone would have told me about it long ago.
I couldn’t stop, even though my father, my aunt, grand mother and a close friend died of lung cancer and I was aware of what smoking did to me.
The last time, I tried the new pills, Champix, but I couldn’t stop completely – just felt sick all the time and was mad at my self for not quitting.
Then a coworker told me about the book, and I thought “well, why not” but wasn’t convinced at all that reading a book could help me find out more than I already knew.
I spent my sparetime reading it the next couple of days, and thanks to Alle Carr, I was proven wrong!
Life is so much better since I found out how it all works and I will recommend his books to everyone!
(Even my doctor was thrilled to hear about it and will recommend it too)

Mt friends can’t beleive it ! After 16 years of smoking I attended the Sydney day course in April 2006.
Never could I have imagined the way I felt when i left. I was hosting a party at my place the same evening and I was dreading even having a drink without a cigarette!!!! to my astonishment I left the course not only not wanting a cigarette but I am firm in the belief I will never smoke again. All this without even feeling like I’m depriving myself.
A friend of mine did it about 8 years ago and smoked within the first three months, at which point she was offered a refund or another session. She didn’t take the refund and has never smoked since. My only wish is that i listened to her sooner.
Its hard to imagine but you don’t even mind people smoking around you as the temptation just does NOT exist.
Do it today !!!

Hi
I have now been a proud non-smoker for almost four years thanks to the Allen Carr Easyway. I made the decision to stop smoking but feared that for the rest of my life the desire to do so would be a shadow over everything I did. This could not be further from the truth (and I drone on about this to anyone that will listen), thanks to Allen’s book I not only successfully became a non-smoker, I haven’t looked back since! It took away every excuse I had and made me understand that there is NO reason to smoke and once you wake up to the fact that society and countless other influences push you towards smoking for their own reasons – you will forever more look at smokers with pity….......and with a sense of bewilderment – why oh why would any sane person CHOOSE to do something so pointless that has only negatives to it.
Thank you

I am a 30 yr old female living in the United States. I had smoked for 15 years and thought I loved it all that time – sometimes even wanting to “eat” the cigarette because I thought I was so in “love”. I was extremely saddened while read “The Easy Way To Stop Smoking” and realize that in fact I was not in love with the Marlboro Reds but with the nicotine. I can’t believe I have been duped for so long! I had tried quitting some 6 years ago and it resulted in failure. If only I knew about this book then. I had already been sure I wanted to quit this time and set a date to do so. I only heard about this book the week before I was quitting. I thought what could it hurt to even just read it. I started reading the day after I smoked my last cigarette and when I was 1/2 way done with the book I was so excited! I felt great and positive and fearless about quitting. Everything in the book is correct. I was so afraid to even try quitting but now I am so glad I did and so glad for the “Easyway”. I have already ordered more copies of this book to give to smokers I know in my family. They don’t have to read it, but they might if they have it and that is worth it to me. I will not be picking up a cigarette again and I am so happy about it! I’m free! I am only on day 3 and people have already seen a change and have asked why I seem different. I told them why and am so proud of myself. I never thought it would be so easy. I am so upset that Mr. Allen Carr has passed on. I am so grateful to him and he did what nobody else has been able to do. Thank you so much. My life has been forever changed and you are the reason. Thank you for sharing with the rest of the world your secret. Rest in Peace.

I have now stopped for the second time using Easy Way. The first time I stopped for a year but started again stupidly, i now know what mistakes I made!!!!
I have smoked (apart from the year) since I was 14, I have just turned 30. I hated myself for smoking. Hated the smell and the stigma and am now very glad to be free of it.
I have found the first few days relativley easy. I am getting cravings but the book/dvd has told me how to deal with them. I am quite restless but am taking long walks to get a break from work.

First of all, I would like to express my sincerest, heart felt sympathies to the friends and family of Allen Carr at this time. I hope that he knows how many people has saved and will continue to save around the world.
I was a heavy smoker (60 / day) for years and have been freed from its slavery by reading ‘The only way to stop smoking permanently’. Since being liberated from having to smoke, I have felt excited, energized, inspired and elated. What’s more, it has taken absolutely no willpower and it has been, as promised, not only an easy, but joyful process.
I have noticed that my teeth have got whiter, my eyes, skin and hair have brighter, I have got slimmer (by quite a large amount). I actually enjoy sports (for the first time ever!), have more energy, confidence, stamina, strength and control. I am more relaxed and sleep better, just as Alan Carr described that he did. What’s more, this is not just an anomalous phenomenon, it is the norm, when using Alan Carr’s method.
I feel that smoking can be very well compared to the film ‘The Matrix’. Smokers most of their smoking lives are like the millions of people trapped, unwittingly in their pods by the evil machines. Their chances of escape are effectively zero because they are brainwashed powerfully that they are not in a prison and that they enjoy and love their ‘reality’, which of course is all a complete fabrication and lie. They also are totally unaware that they are actually in a prison, so have no desire to escape.
Allen Carr is like Neo, the one who has come to save all these smokers from their pod prisons and the brain programming that has kept them all slaves. I, like all the others on this page, am like those very lucky few who have been rescued and reprogrammed to accept the reality of smoking. I have been freed!
I feel overjoyed about my lucky escape and now not only believe that this really is THE only way, but, like Neo and his team, have a genuine desire to help others get free, and hear this message. Perhaps you can help me:
I am a cardiology nurse in the Amercian Hospital Dubai. I have just been recruited to the brand new Heart Center to set up nurse led clinics and cardiac rehabilitation programmes for patients with Heart disease or at risk of having a heart attack.
Because I want to make sure that this is effective, I dearly would love to either start an Allen Carr clinic here or be linked with one. I certainly show and recommend the book to every smoking patient that walks through these doors, as well as giving them a ‘post-it’ note containing the title/author.
I really think that the clinic’s services are needed in the UAE. Cigarettes and tobacco are really cheap here and smoking is not even socially unacceptable. People still smoke in shops / malls and a number of the native Arabs still don’t even know about the health risks of smoking!!
As a result, the incidence of Heart Disease is massive- hugely higher than UK or USA. I’m convinced that it is largely to do with high smoking rates. Not to mention huge teenager smoking populations.
Please would you be able to forward this letter to anyone that could help or talk to me about setting up a clinic here / training to set up an Easyway smoking cessation clinic, as I know it’s the only way to effectively help trapped smokers out of the pit!
Yours in hope,
Rosy Piper

My experience while smoking was a constant battle between temptation and quitting. Once I read The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, the revelation that helped me finally quit, was THERE IS NO TEMPTATION. Smoking is solely an addiction, nothing else. Nobody enjoys smoking cigarettes, the only joy is relieving the physical and mental “pangs” of nicotine withdrawal. Thanks for writing this life-saving book, for your life will live on within everyone who quit using the Easyway Method!

I want you to know that I have never in my life felt this way about not smoking …It is such a wonderful feeling to be free from that Nicotine MONSTER !! I was visiting my aunt a couple months ago, knowing that she has struggled for years with quitting smoking , I asked her is she was still smoking and she said no , You will no believe this but I read a book. I said let me guess … Dr Allen Carr’s easy way to stop smoking and she looked at me funny and said yes that is right … I just smiled and said ….me too …. Thankyou for allowing us to be free !!

Someone wrote to my local paper about the passing of Mr. Carr and that his book was instrumental in her no longer smoking. She wrote about the ease with which she stopped. So I ordered the book, read it, took my last three puffs (which ironically tasted horrible) and haven’t smoked in 2 1/2 weeks and not going crazy!!! in the process. Am eating a bit more but that’s okay. When I think of a cigarette I take a deep breath and the urge is gone. When I see actors smoking now I actually tell myself how sad that is and I remember the last three horrible puffs I have.
I am sure the tobacco associations very quietly pay some filmmakers to have their actors smoke. They have lots of money to give and I wouldn’t doubt that they quietly do this.
My blessings to Allen Carr and the legacy he has left. I will pass on the information about Easy Way to many people. Incidentally I am 72 years old and I wanted to say before I die that I don’t smoke. Thank you.

I wouldn’t be able to thank Allen enough for writing this book… I have been hooked on cigarettes since I was 12 years old. I’m 36 now. I’ve been trying to quit my entire life. I’ve tried everything; cold turkey, patches, gum, shots behind the ears, pills, hypnosis, tearing them up, buying one pack at a time, trying to cut-down, trying to limit myself to a certain # a day, trying to limit myself to certain time-period intervals…EVERYTHING I could think of. I’ve had so many failed attempts that I just stopped trying to quit. As a result, I smoked as much as I wanted which turned into 3 packs a day for almost the past 5 years. I saw actor Ashton Kutcher on Jay Leno and he said he “smoked so much that if there had been a contest for smoking… he was sure he could’ve won- but he quit after reading this book”. I couldn’t wait to get the book because I could’ve won a contest too. I was like a crack-addict… all I wanted to do was sit and smoke cigarettes. I wouldn’t eat; wouldn’t exercise; wouldn’t bathe sometimes; didn’t want to go places where I couldn’t smoke; missed visiting with friends and family so I could smoke outside instead… I read this book and quit! Just like that! It was completely effortless and instead of being cranky… I’m filled with absolute joy and delight. I’m SO happy to be free and breathing clean, fragrant air again- for the 1st time since I was 12! My husband still smokes (he hasn’t read the book) and it doesn’t even bother me a bit to see his cigarettes lying around or know that he’s outside smoking. It’s unbelievable to me… since I was THE hard-core smoker. My nickname had become “Smokasaurus”. I know I’ll never be a smoker again. And now I smell like a flower instead of a filled-to-the-brim ashtray. Can’t recommend this book enough.

Thank you. Thank you so much.
After 8 years of smoking and attempts to quit using every method available, I knew I needed something different. Thank you for showing me the light.
I have only been a non-smoker for two days but it’s fantastic to feel the same way I remember feeling before I became a smoker. It’s gross! It controls you!
I love knowing these things and that I am winning. Every time I feel that little twinge begin a big smile breaks on my face because I know now that I am better than it.
Thank you thank you thank you. I bought another copy of the book and have sent it to a friend, I loaned my copy to my boyfriend and I have two friends asking me if they can borrow it afterwards. Hopefully they’ll get impatient and buy it!
I will continue to tell people about Easyway and how wonderful it is… probably for the rest of my (non-smoking) life. I’m so excited to start living again!

I wasn’t going to get the book i was looking at the keep fit books as i was hopeing to get in shape but some one must have put the book in the wrong place (was it fate or destiny). I’d heard all the storys about stop smoking books and all the “who har” that they spouted about hypnosis and willpower (somthing that i have little of) but flicking through it i saw the comic sketches and thought it was kinda cool then i started reding it, some how i found myself at the check out (can’t remember getting there) so i payed for the book and carried on home. I starrted reading on the bus and i couldn’t stop, i continued reading all the way home. This book made so much sense. It wasn’tabout willpower and patch this and gum that it was about logical and the sketches helped me understand. Where were you all those years ago. Well i chuked my packed and sure enough that monster is calling to get it out the bin “NO CHANCE” I’ve tried patches and gum and still hankerd for a smoke, now i know the cravings are good as it’s just that monster shriviling up inside me, and in a few days it will be gone,
Thanks allen i owe you
all my love to you where ever you are

In April 2006 my husband, a heavy smoker and drinker, was diagnoised with both liver and lung cancer. He was given 3 months. Almost 4 months later he passed away at age 48 leaving behind a young family. I started smoking in 1977 and would go to bed every single night wishing i had the strength to not smoke the next morning. Christmas 2006 a friend mentioned Allen’s book (I had never heard of it before). By the end of 2006 I had purchased a copy of the book and although it took a few weeks to read I have finally finished the book and have not had a smoke for 5 days now. Even by just purchasing the book my desire to smoke had dimished somewhat and the more of the book i read the less I was smoking. Don’t know how it happened but it did and I know that I will continue to be a non-smoker.
I have already recommended the book to friends and have given my copy to my 21 year old son.
I was very sorry to hear of Allen’s death and my heart goes to his family and all those who knew him.
May many more people discover this wonderful book – let the avalanche begin.

I have smoked 20 cigarettes a day for 30 years, I am now 45. I started reading allens book in sept. 06, it took me 4 months to complete basically because I lost it during a house move but I also think because of his explanation of the fear of giving up. I finished the book at 6pm on 1st of January and apart from the occasional small urge from ‘the nicotine demon’ know I will never smoke again. It really was easy!! I have tried to stop 100’s of times. The book should be available on prescription!!!!!!!!!!!!! My freinds and family are amazed, thankyou thankyou thankyou

I attended Allen Carr’s clinic in Sydney Australia, on the 9th of September 2006…
I can blissfully report that I am still and will always be a non smoker! Woohooo!
I came home from the clinic and smiled at my wife and announced:”I will never put those evil things in my mouth again! And I have never been so happy to say it”. It really was quite an emotional moment. I have no shame in saying I cried with happiness all the way home in the car. I knew it was the start of something, not the end.
What I find key; is that I haven’t given up anything! What I did do, was choose a better life. No longer does my wife recoil at the smell of me. More hugs and kisses!! The list of benefits is endless.
My friends and family were sceptical at first because they could not believe how easy it was for me. “One day clinic and you’re cured? Yeah right!”
Yes, one day and you can start celebrating straight away. I went straight home and cracked the champagne.
I had quite a few supposed friends say directly to me – “we’ll see, I bet you’re back on them in a month”. Wrong again.
Thanks Natalie (the facilitator) and Allen. You were involved in one of the landmark days in my life. I am very proud of myself for making the choice to attend your clinic.
My deepest sympathies go to Allen’s family for their recent loss. He has saved so many lives through his work and they must be very proud of him. May he rest in peace.

Dear Allen,
I just want to Thank you for giving me the best gift ever!! Since reading your book – I have not had 1 cigarette nor really ever had the desire for one. I am a mother of 2 and desperately wanted to quit, not only for my health but for my kids!!
I tried the will power, patch, gum – the whole bit – but until reading your book was really able to achieve my goal.
So Thank You from the bottom of my heart. I can only hope and pray that my loved ones that are still smoking will listen to me and read your book!
You and your family are in our prayers. Thank You – Stephanie

1 month, 5 days and I think I’m having my moment of realization. I have to say that while reading the book (and even after I quit for the first week maybe) I felt some of the content of the book was exaggeration…but more and more I’m realizing everything is real and it feels so great. Especially in the areas of confidence, ability to cope with stress, calmness, and more every day. I can only imagine how Mr. Carr felt when reading testimonials and I can only hope that the profession I choose in life can be so fulfilling to myself and others. RIP

I actually quit two days before reading your book. I first have to say I give credit to God and then you (that’s not bad) If I didn’t read your book I would be on the way to the mental hospital. He has put every scenario in the book that happens to us. I also actually think in a way the book is based on a hypnotic theory because he is reversing the brainwashing – I still have a long way to go – On my fourth day – and I know it’s going to be tuff but I will have my strength from God and absolutely read his book like it is the Bible on not smoking – He is brilliant and I know this is a major part of what is helping me.
I repeat alot of the scenarios in my head that I have read about .
I can’t thank you enough

I successfully stopped smoking just over a week ago. I know it’s not long at this stage, but having attempted to give up before, I now realise that this is completely different. I have Allen’s ‘little book of Quitting’ by my side at all times, just to reiterate his message – ‘Wow, I’m a non-smoker’ and I really don’t want another cigarette. I feel better, smell fresher, get lots more work done, I’m less stressed, sleep better – can’t thank Allen and his legacy enough for getting me here. Have been recommending the ‘Easyway’ to everyone who still smokes as the only way.
Kind regards,

Hi
I just finished reading Allens book 24 hours ago! I can’t believe the outcome. I am so happy to be a non-smoker. I feel great. I have spent the last 15 years addicted. When I was 27 I have two blood clots and still continued. I was starting to resign myself to thinking that I would be a smoker til I died, but now I am free and it’s great. Every 7 quid is going in a jar towards the a new car. I also recently read about Allen’s death and am sorry for his loss. He has helped so many just like me! I will always be grateful to him and his Easyway.

Today, I smoked my final cig and while I was doing it, I was coughing and choking and thankful that it is the last one I will ever smoke. I was saddened though that when I logged on to this site to learn of Allens passing, but without his life experience and work, I would probably have been a smoker for my entire life. When I get to heaven, I want to shake his hand and personaly thank him, because there is no doubt in my mind that because of his work that is where he is. Thank you, Thank you, THANK YOU ALLEN CARR!!!!!

It was a tragedy Allen Carr was taken by cancer but his books and works live on – the books do offer “a different approach – a stunning success” the books do offer the “way to stop smoking permanently”. You do not have to rely on willpower, his method works. How do I know? Well Yippee I am (now) a non-smoker. No withdrawals, no ‘replacements’ and now no desire. God bless you Allen Carr.
A friend I used to have a cigarette with first told me of the book – the friend just stopped smoking. It took me a while to read the book and I did slow down when I neared the time for my last cigarette but when I got there I stopped – and it was (and is) so easy.
More power to his method.
With thanks.

I started smoking when I was 15. Since the age of 18 (I am now 36) I have tried everything to stop. Zyban, hypnotherapy (6 sessions in all with four different therapists), patches, gum and the misery of the will-power method. The longest I stopped was 3 months. During my last attempt my doctor recommended that I meet with a local chemist once a week – they would offer me support whilst I also used the nicotine patches. The chemist, after a five-minute consultation, told me that I was not addicted to nicotine but a slave to the habit. All I had to do was change my routine. I managed to get through the day but would remove the patch at night and smoke all evening. After two weeks (and two meetings) the chemist told me to give up and come back in six months and we’d give it another go. Two friends went to an Allen Carr clinic as heavy smokers and came away happy non-smokers. I bought the book and I must admit that I read it twice before the message sank in. Having read the book I find it easy to understand why so many fail without it, especially after my experience with the NHS. I am now a very happy non-smoker thanks to Allen Carr. If I had been aware of him earlier I could have stopped smoking years ago. God only knows how much unnecessary damage I have done to my body. Easyway should be advertised daily on national tv instead of pompous idiots telling smokers how bad it is for them, confirming what they already know and frightening them into smoking more!

Greetings from Portugal!
I’ve come to thank Allen for having fought for our liberation, it’s my first day without smoking and I feel like I don’t need it anymore, when all my previous tries were a huge sacrifice. It’s my first day but I know I’ll succeed. It’s tragic that he’s died like that. I hope people continue to read his book to become free. I’ll write again when I complete three weeks. Thanks a lot!

I have been smoking since I was 17 (12 years). Previously I had tried giving up twice. Once on the tablets and once on the patches (eventually, I began smoking again). I was off and on over Christmas and New Year again with the patches, but it felt like such a struggle.
I decided to read my boyfriends copy of Allen’s book recently, and it took me less than a day to read. I couldn’t put it down. Even though everything Allen says is common sense and nothing you don’t already know – for some reason it clicks into place when you read it in his words. As soon as I completed the book, I stopped getting the cravings. I actually have no urge to ever smoke again. When I had given up before, I couldn’t stop thinking about cigarettes, now I have read the book I haven’t really given them a second thought, other than to say ‘Wow, I haven’t thought about cigarettes for a while now’.
Allen was right, it’s not difficult at all, you just have to be determind that your last one really is your last. Thanks Allen.
PS. I was so sorry to hear of Allen’s passing, and my thoughts are with Allen’s family. From everything I read about him, he enjoyed life to the full, and helped many many people where the government and medical practices could not. A true hero of our time.

First off I’d like to express my condolences to the friends and family of Allen Carr. His passing is a great loss to mankind!
I used the Easyway method last new year to quit smoking and am proud to say I have been smoke free ever since. I tried many ways to give up the evil weed but this book changed my whole outlook. Almost as though it brainwashed away the brainwashing of thinking I needed to smoke!!
I still find it astonishing that official organisations and the government ignore this as a credible method. Insane!!
I would advise any smoker to give this way a chance, it’s so easy. ;)
This year I shall be reading the weightloss book! :D
Thank you Allen and may you rest in peace.

I started smoking after 20 years of not smoking. The only way I stopped
on previous attempts was pregnancy, it stopped me for 20 odd years. Then I lit up again, nearly a year later .. and tried since the day I started again to stop.. a friend recommended the book, I bought it and could not wait to stop smoking even during reading the book, it took me 2 days!
Woohoo am free and no withdrawal.. amazing..

I read Only Way leading up to christmas just gone and realised my downfall had been that i always thought i was missing out which in turn made me unhappy. My frame of mind changed as i stubbed out that last fag on january 1st and has remained positive, optimistic and stupidly happy! The lagacy of Allen can only get greater with every day that passes. Go shout this from the rooftops like i have been, A million thanks for telling the truth!

I stopped smoking several months ago after reading Allan Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking. I smoked 30 a day for 25 years and stopped with hardly a withdrawl pang, it really was that easy and I feel 20 years younger. I kept waiting to feel grumpy, miserable and bad tempered as I had done with previous attempts using nicotine patches, chewing gum etc, but nothing happened. I feel really happy. Infact much happier than when I smoked. I decided to try the book after several people I know stopped smoking using Alan’s method. It really does work. It is an absolute disgrace that the government does not take notice. I have recently written to a national newspaper who were advising people on how to stop smoking for the new year and stated NRT OR ZYBAN as being the only methods that really work. I was so angry and wonder if the doctor that wrote that article has ever smoked himself. Probably not. Anyway, I dont know if it has done any good but I’m on a mission now!

Dear Allen,
I want to sencerelly thank you for the book. I am simply happy to stop, to realise that smoking is the most disguisting thing that I could do to myself and tasting how horrible my last sigarette was.
For years I have been pressured into quitting, but I did not. My entire family tried ti make me stop, but I still went on smoking. I had problems getting up, and falling asleep, I had problems getting to my apartment on the third floor. Now, having quit, i feel that I could do anything, however hard it might seem.
Thank you

I was a committed 20ish a day smoker for about 34 years, until I stopped on 11 December 2006 having read Allen’s Easyway for Women. I happily survived numerous Christmas parties, get-togethers, including New Year in the house of my best friend of many years(an equally committed smoker). I am so happy to be free, I hope she reads the copy that I left for her! Thank you.

I had smoked since I was 11years old.
Tragically, before that I was one of those kids who joined the ‘Nic-O-Teen’ crusade of the eighties-where schools supply kids with info on the hazards of smoking and then the kids run about annoying smoking adults by telling them how wrong it is!
I am 34 now and until just over a week ago, I had been on 25-30 a day (Not counting the 60 on nights-out!).
I had never in all these years managed to stop for more than a few hours-I’d even take the patches off to have a fag!!!!
I started reading ‘The Easy Way’ in June ‘06 on the recommendation of a friend (who stopped smoking!).
I got about halfway through and then stopped reading as I thought I wasn’t ready for the ‘dreaded day’!
I picked the book up again in December and finished it (by coincidence)on 1st Jan.
It’s now been one week since I stopped and I cannot express how easy I am finding it.
I realise it’s only one week but I was smoking 25-30 a day for 23 years.
I feel marvelous and like a completely new person.
I know that I will never smoke again.
Thank You, Allen.
I am so sorry to hear of Allen’s passing. My condolances go to his family and friends. He will be remebered by many and I, for one, will be sure to keep his memory alive by making sure every smoker I know is aware of this book.

I thought I’d never see like the light for the smoke but I have. I was extremely pesimistic about the ‘easyway’ which was recommended by a good friend of mine. I should have have more faith in him! I have never had a situation in my life which has changed my thought process so quickly and clearly. Smokers – you need to read this book! Every reason why you wouldn’t want to read it, is exactly the reason to do so!

It’s been three weeks since I stopped smoking and I am so happy.
I started smoking three years ago when I was 23 years of age – I felt so stupid because I did it to ‘fit in’ with all the people around me.
After reading two of Allen’s books I have realised I wasn’t stupid, just brain washed.
I feel so free and happy. I have told everyone that has said that they want to quit to read one of the books.
Thank you so much for giving me my life back.

I was so sorry to hear that Allen Carr had passed away. I have now been a non smoker for 4 years. Allen’s method was the only thing that saved me from a 30-a-day habit that was taking over my life. Giving up smoking is the best thing I have ever done, every time I see a smoker I remind myself how lucky I am to be free of cigarettes. I really don’t think I could have done it without attending the clinic in Raynes Park. I wish I had said thank you to Allen whilst he was still alive, my thoughts are with his family and I just want to reiterate what a positive impact he had on my life. Thanks to everyone who continues Allen’s good work.

I have found Allen’s books a true inspiration and have found it so much easier to quit this time [after countless attempts with other methods!!]
I hope he rests in peace and may his family have peace of mind knowing that he has done so much for those of us out there who want to or have quit smoking.
Thanks Allen, and God Bless you.

Today is the third anniversary of the day that I stopped smoking. After a succession of chest infections after smoking a minimum of 20 a day for 20 years I picked up the book, left for me by my father-in-law. I read the book in a day and have never smoked since. It was a truly liberating experience and one that I would fully recommend to anyone. Indeed, I have been fortunate enough to pass it on to several people who have also successfully stopped.
If you want to stop smoking this book will change your life.

I quit smoking 2 years ago and although I didn’t quit right after I read the book, it took me 2 months to let it grow on me – it kept creeping up to me whenever I lit a cigarette up “I don’t need this, I really really don’t need this”.
Thank you VERY much for this contribution to the world, thank you for the brilliant words that have inspired so many others to quit on their addictions.
Thank you to a brilliant man who no longer is among us.
You shall be missed. Your contribution to this world has been and will continue to be priceless.

After trying several different ways to give up and failing at all of them, a co-worker that used to smoke 40 a day came in one day and said he had given up. This was the guy that I’d often shared ciggie breaks with… I was stunned. He told me about Allen’s book, so I bought it, read it over the weekend and gave up at the end of it. No cravings, nothing.
My husband teased me continually that although I was now a non smoker it would take 10 years to leave my system! Well those 10 years were up 6 years ago. I now have not smoked for 16 years, I have never and will never smoke again and I tell ANYONE that will listen, about Allen’s book.
What a tragedy that he should die from helping others.

I was a full time smoker for 15 years and it was always on my mind that it was harming me and I would have to face ‘giving up’ one day. All I had ever heard was that stopping smoking was one of the hardest things you’d ever have to do (as frequently stressed on nicotine replacement adverts)
I tried the willpower method once and became a miserable, stressed out nutter as all my friends will agree! After 6 months I caved in and went back to smoking, feeling like a failure. Someone recommended reading Allan Carr’s book and after reading the first page I couldn’t put it down; it was funny and inspiring and made so much sense.
I smoked my last cigarette 2 1/2 years ago and know that I will never smoke another cigarette in my life. I haven’t missed it for a second and in contrast have been really happy and have felt amazing! My skin glows, I can breath normally again and have more energy. I now find it hard to believe I was ever a smoker.
I am so thankful to Allan Carr for helping me and had always wanted to write my gratitude to him. I was very shocked and sad to hear of his death.
What an amazing man; he has helped so many people- he is an inspiration and a life saver!

...”I have given my husband the book but he is finding it difficult to read. I am on this site to look for a CD Rom or on-line program as he is far more likely to access the program in this way. Thankyou again and wish me luck for my husband”
My wife made this comment back in May 2006 and she was correct I found finding the time to read the book difficult. I bought the audio version of the book and downloaded it to the ipod, I listened to it and before I realised it I was a happy non smoker.
A few days of some mild pangs nothing like I had experienced before, and that was it 24 years of smoking countless failed attempts and now I am free!
Thank you Alan you have without doubt saved my life… now who can we free next :-)

I just wanted to say that I cannot thank Allen enough for saving my life. That is exactly what I feel that he did for me. I have three children and I have smoked since i was 18 (Im 33 now) I quit when i was pregnant but for some reason, only my babies health was a good enough reason for me to quit. Once they were born, my own health risks didnt matter and i started again. Realizing that all i was doing was killing myself, i tried to quit again. A good friend of mine told me to read this book and I have stopped smoking – easiliy and never looked back. My kids are soooooo happy. I have read his stop drinking book as well and i have never felt more excited for my future as i do now. I feel as though he has given me a second chance at life. Thank you so much Allen, your memory will live on in your teachings. God bless your family.

I’m so sorry to hear of Allens’ death!! Wow. I am unable to personally tell him that he helped one more! I saw Ashton Kutcher on Leno and I said “I gotta check this book out, if Ashton quit so can I”. I finished reading it at 1:00 AM on New Years Day 2007 and I haven’t smoked since or really even cared. The little monstere has asked to be fed a few times but I just tell him that I’m sorry, he has to die now. I came here to check out Allen’s site and I’m very saddened to learn he died of lung cancer, my greatest fear. I wish his famiy peace & love, as I’m sure they are very proud of him and the acheivements he has made in the world, including helping me be free. Thank you so much, Allen, and rest in peace knowing that you made a real difference in the world.

Well I went along to the seminar on 7/10/06, I walked out an unconvinced non smoker!! I found the first week quite tough going but there was something in me that just was not going to give in. Obviously it got easier and easier – after 4 weeks I knew I would never smoke another cigarette again. I am now 3 months down the line and I am so proud to say that I am officially a non smoker. I have actually had nightmares about smoking, I awake with relief that it is only a dream and the thought of smoking feels me with dread now. Easyway to lose weight here I come!!

i finished Alan Carr’s book on Christmas Eve morning. I had read it over the course of about three months. I smoked my final cigarette that same morning just as my son arrived for Christmas holidays. This was a special moment as he had given the book to me two years ago after successfully quitting using Mr. Carr’s method. My ex husband and father to my son had died this year of lung cancer so my quitting smoking was very poignant.Every thing Mr. Carr spoke about is true and i am now free from “the monster” nicotine and out of prison.Thank-you for saving my life.

Thank you Allen, wherever you are!
I became free of smoking a few days ago after reading your book and feel great… not only physically, but great about my decision and the certainty of my success. I began smoking nearly 15 years ago for the mother of all stupid reasons: to impress a girl I hardly knew. I imagined at that time (and promised myself) that I wouldn’t let it go longer than 5 years. I wish I had known about your book back then, and am grateful that a friend recommended it to me now.
While only a few days into my freedom, I’m finding the experience terribly entertaining, and not at all painful. The “big monster” in the back of my head says ,”I want a cigarette!” and I respond,”That’s all well and good, but I don’t… and I’m in charge here!” It is such a relief to be able to laugh at the pangs and see them for what they really are, rather than letting them bludgeon me into taking that first puff.
I proudly and gratefully declare my independence from the weed. It has ceased to be a meaningful influence in my life.
Again, Allen, wherever you are, thank you… and Godspeed!

Yet again we see another attempt by the UK Government to persuade people to stop smoking using expensive advertising. Another valiant attempt but doomed to failure.
Issue the Easyway book to every smoker is the answer. I read it in September 2006 and have not smoked since. It works and from all the other testimonys I am reading it is not mere fallacy. I was astonished just how easy it was.
Lets hope the legacy Allen leaves behind will mean we rid ourselves of this body and soul destroying habit…
A posthumous knighthood for Mr Carr!!

Hello Allen and all staff of Easyway. I know Allen may not be reading this mail but I guess he does’nt need to. Wherever he is I know he’s happy. Just wanted to share a little of my experience. I’ve been a heroin addict for around 10 years and a nicotine addict for close to 20 years. I quit heroin 15 years ago but continued nicotine. I swore by it. Liked every cigarette I smoked and talked about the great pleasures of tobacco. Until I read EasyWay quite by chance and realised what an idiot I was. I’ve quit smoking around 5 days ago and am going through the recovery syndrome. Throat is dry as hell, tongue tastes funny, head feels light, coughing like a pig BUT I FEEL CALM. Thank you Allen and EasyWay for showing how much of an idiot I was. God bless you, your family and your staff. I’m from India so let me know if you need a volunteer.

I’m an American and I started smoking on my 18th birthday, reason being that I legally could. Some people asked if I had bought a lottery ticket, I said “no I bought cigarettes.” I guess I must’ve thought that smoking would make me feel like an adult, that I would be “cool”. Ha, how wrong I was. I never realized I was addicted until 2 years later when I decided I wanted to quit. Didn’t work. I continued to smoke for 4 years after that and attempted to quit when a close friend’s mother died of lung cancer. I tried using the patch. I went a week.
2 months ago a British friend of mine mentioned that he was reading a book to help him stop smoking. I remember thinking “Psh, yea right… A book… How is that going to work?” After he finished it he told me how easy it was and how happy he now was to be a non-smoker, so I decided to buy the book. I thought I really have nothing to lose, and if this book doesn’t work I’ve only lost 15 dollars compared to hundreds with other methods.
I read it with an open mind and finished the book in about 4 days… On December 1st, 2006 at 5:10pm I put out my last cigarette and have been a happy non-smoker ever since. On my birthday, the 4th of December, I was the happiest I had been in awhile. Not only was I surrounded by my friends that I love most, but I was finally free of that horrible addiction.
I’m 26 now and I was a smoker for 8 years. I’ve been a happy non-smoker for almost a month now. I constantly thank my British buddy. If it weren’t for him I wouldn’t have known about this book, I’d never heard of Alan before.
Thank you for freeing me from my addiction and showing me how easy it was. I now share this book with anyone who wants to quit. My dad is 58 has been a smoker since he was sent to Vietnam and he has tried and failed to quit more times than I can count. I’m proud to be setting an example that something will finally work for him.
My thoughts and condolences are with your family.
Words can’t even convey how thankful I am… But Thank you!!!

I was a confirmed smoker for many years (close to 15), and the mere thought of stopping smoking always made me paniccy and just want anotehr ciggerette.
On February the 15th 2006 I went to a clinic course and in the afternoon like everyone else in the class, smoked my last ciggerette and left feeling on a high.
Nearly eleven months later I am totally smoke free, have never had another one, not even a puff. I still have the occasional “it might e nice to smoke” when surrounded by smokers, but nothing would ever make me pick one up again!
I tell all my smoking friends about the course and know the only reason they don’t do the course themseleves is because they know they will stop on the same day as the course!
Thank you!

Hi,
I’ve tried to stop smoking once, about 3 years ago. After a 1,5y I started smoking again. Recently I took the book from a friend and started reading, I wasn’t even planning on stopping that evening, but I read the book from begin until finish and now I’ve been clean since 4 days. I’ve been a smoker for over 10 years.
I truely support this method, stopping has never been so easy, almost no side-effects.
My condoleances go out to the Carr family

On the 22nd of November, 2006; while driving my daughter home from University, for Thanksgiving: I stopped at a Barnes and Nobel to buy the audio book “The Life of PI”; which is a marvelous book; especially if you drive a lot as I do. We wanted to listen to it on our journey from Oklahoma to Texas and back.
While at the book store; I noticed an audio book that had written on the front “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking” by Allen Carr. The cost was less than $20; and having absolutely no respect for money, I of course, bought it.
Now, a little back ground is in order. I am 62 years of age; and started smoking when I was 10. In those days the only reason you were not suppose to smoke was because “you were not old enough” ; it was something only adults do; and something I always wanted to be, was an adult; which by the way, I am still looking forward to being; someday.
I have smoked more that three pack (60 +) of cigarettes per day for as long as I can remember. I won’t go into all the details of health, wealth, and social opportunities I have lost; because, if you are a smoker, you already have been beaten over the head with them until you want to kill one of those anti-smoking nuts, that couldn’t run their fat butts around the block without having a heart attack; by giving them mouth to mouth with cigarette smoke until they die of cancer.
Anyway, , after Thanksgiving, I took my daughter back to University and we listen to that wonderful story of PI and the Tiger.
It takes me about an hour to get to work everyday; and so, I took the little audio book “The Easy Way to Stop Smoking” by Allen Carr with me and listened to it. There are five (5) CDs; each about one hour long, which worked out very well for me. I had to listen to the little audio book twice before I made the decision that I could and would quit smoking; and actually believed “that it would be easy”. Of course the little monster inside my stomach and the larger monster in my mind ; that were addicted to cigarettes; were damn near dieing from laughter. They knew all too well that the attempt might be a little uncomfortable for a while; but, that I would soon give in and life as a smoker would go on until it finally killed me; but, what the heck, you have to die of something; and I only planned on living till I was forty anyway.
I had made other attempts; that awful tasting gum, the patch, smokeless nicotine, and of course pure will power; and for all the people who have quit, one of those ways; “I think that is wonderful”.
On December 12, 2006, a Tuesday morning at 9:10 am; I stood outside my truck with a friend and smoked my last cigarette. After all those years and all that fear, it really “was easy”.
Today, December 23, 2006, I have absolutely no desire to smoke another cigarette, the little monster inside my stomach, and the big monster inside my mind are dead; and I am free at last. Thank you God, and Allen Carr.
Merry Christmas and God Bless You All

I smoked for 10 years, then i was hypnotised and gave up for 10 years, then took it up again for 4 years. I read your book and gave up easily and have now been without nicotine for 9 months. I feel great. My daughter bought your book for me and i in turn have lent it out to other smokers who have also given up smoking.
I have just read your easyweigh guide to weight loss and will be starting tomorrow – (not so much to lose weight but to become more healthy) it is such common sense information that i cant beleive we have been so brainwashed.

I attended one of your clinic sessions in Buckingham with mixed feelings. After smoking 20 a day for 23 years, I wanted to stop, but thought it was impossible! How could I wake up the following morning and have my cup of coffee without a cigarette? How could I ever enjoy a nice meal again and not finish off with obligatory cigarette afterwards?
Well 5 months later, I have the answers to those questions, its been EASY. I have not smoked since attending the seminar, nor have I had any cravings at all.

Hi everybody. I smoked for 30 years and could not imagine being a non smoker again. I could manage to go without for about 2 Hrs before going to the shop and giving in. When I read Allen’s book (and smoked while giving up) I had my revelation about halfway through…I knew I would never need those awful things again. That was about 5 months ago, and it just doesn’t seem real!! When people who know me ( I smoked 30-40 a day) say ‘Well done’, I say to them IT IS SO EASY!! I still can’t believe that Allen Carr has given me another life..A life without the horrid fear of sudden illness or death through poison. Thankyou Allen.

My attempts to give up smoking were unsuccessful until I attended Allen’s clinic in 1987.
Allen had been recommended to me by an acquaintance. I was skeptical, but was persuaded to attend by the conviction with which he made the recommendation.
Allen’s method worked and (better still) it didn’t take will power. I haven’t smoked for almost 20 years and know I will never smoke again.
Thank-you Allen Carr – Rest In Peace.

I was a smoker for 38 years and assumed that I would smoke until I died. My sister asked me if I wanted to read a book she had read to quit smoking. A third of the way through Mr. Carr’s book I wanted to quit, but followed his instruction and smoked my last cigarette during the last couple of pages. I am currently into my third week of being a non-smoker, and it has been nothing like what I suffered using the “willpower” method. I know that I have “given up” nothing. My only regret is that Mr. Carr passed on before I could thank him. To those who are still doing his work, please know how grateful I am and accept my sympathies in Mr. Carrs passing.

It will be 2 years since I stopped smoking using the Allen Carr method, I am so happy to be free. I never believed I would stop smoking, I thought my life would be cut short from the cancer sticks.
I tell anyone who smokes to free themselves from the nasty habit with the help of Alan Carr.

I can’t better the Ruby Wax quote on this site. I have been a non-smoker for 4 years due to Allen Carr. Condolences to his family. He was a rare visionary.

R.I.P dear Allen.
Thank you for saving my life.I started smoke about 12 years ago as casual smoker,later I got “hooked”of course.Four years ago I tried first time cannabis and later got addicted to it which I always smoked as roll-up with nicotine.I got very bad and I chain smoked it every day and night.I tried to stop smoking it.To cut on cannabis I smoked normal cigarretes.anyway,belive me it was madness,real terror, I thought I couldn`t live without it anymore.I was mentally and physically ill and exausted.I even started get suicidal.I knew I have to have help or I`ll die soon.I found information on Allen book “easy way to stop smoking” I went to shop buy it.I started to read.After couple pages of book I got very excited,later I understood instead of increasing nicotine I lets say spiced it up with cannabis -inhale deeper,smoke longer-what a FOOL I have been!!!I realised all my problem was nicotine.
today was my first non smoking day I know its only one day,but WHAT a DAY!
Freedom.Actually I had a bad argument with my husband-even that did not give me desire to smoke.I am free.Allen if I could only thank you personally…if you somewhere up there,maybe in heaven watching us-THANK YOU -thank you for saving my life-thank you for saving many lives..

I smoked 25 a day for 17 years. After about 10 years I was recommended Alan’s book, but did not get around to reading it for another 7. When I did I only needed to read through the EasyWay once (whilst chainsmoking) and that was that. I have not smoked since or even wanted to. I am so grateful to Alan and his EasyWay method. I even gave my book to my Dad and he stopped after 50 years of smoking.
Thanks
David Boucher.

After 28 years of smoking I reed Allens book and quit smoking with no difficulties. He was a true miracleman in my life. I am so very thankful.

I just finished the easy way for women to quit smoking, and just quit smoking, about a week or so now. This book was a gift to me from a close friend, and I got on line to find out how to get copies for other close smoker friends for christmas this year, as it is the best gift I have ever received. Only when I got to the site, I see that Allen has just recently passed, and along with my deepest sympathy for the family, I would like to add that Allen has done what we are all here to do, and rarely get to accomplish – that is leave this world in better place than he found it, and for that, me – one little soul here in cincinnati, Ohio -USA – is ever so greatful! May he rest in peace. – tonya

I´m little late…
5 weeks non smoker..
Sorry.. translate this..
Suomeksi..
Olen myöhässä, piti jo kirjoittaa aiemmin.
Yli 5 viikkoa savuttomana.
Poltin noin 15 vuotta, noin 20 savuketta päivässä.
Helpoin ja ehdottomasti paras tapa lopettaa tupakointi, Easyway :)
Tänään mietin, kuinka Suomeen saataisiin Allen Carr klinikka, sen ajatuksen vuoksi tulin tänne web sivulle ja ikäväkseni näin tiedotteen, että Herra Allen Carr on nukkunut pois :(
Toivottavasti hänen työnsä ei unohdu, vaan jatkuu ja saamme Suomeenkin oman klinikan.
Kaikkea hyvää Allenin perheelle.
Kiitos teille kaikille.
( How we get clinic in Finland? Is it possible since Mr Carr died?)
Sorry my bad english :(

I gave up smoking in January 2005 after reading Allen’s book, the Easyway. It is one of the best things I have ever done in my life, and I owe to Allen Carr. I smoked for over 20 years. Since I stoped I have never touched another cigarette again. Thank you so much Allen for creating such a wonderfull book which probably has saved my life, and the life of thousands of other people.

I started smoking when I was 12. At 15 I used to sob because I knew I was hooked and couldn’t quit. I was ill for weeks at age 18 and quit by way of being in bed for 2 weeks.
Then at age 30, I thought maybe smoking could help me lose weight. It didn’t. But again, I was hooked. At 36 I was at a co-workers desk and he had business cards for Allen Carr’s method. He told me he taught a class and he had quit using this method. So I tried it. After the class I got in my car and reached for my cigarettes and realized that they weren’t there but it was no big deal, because I got taught the right way. I had already quit by the time I got in the car. I didn’t really have withdrawal just like Allen said. He was right. He’s the only one who knew the right way, the only way and the easy way. :)
I didn’t really totally get it though. At 40, I started smoking again because my boyfriend smoked. I realized after 6 months that I had already quit and I KNEW Allen had the right way, so I went online and took the class for $10. I didn’t even have to finish the class, because half way through, I finally got it. It was such a wonderful free feeling to KNOW you GET IT. That you know the secret just like Allen did. He was wonderful!! I owe him my health, my life and I tell anyone who will listen about the method. I pass around the books and CDs hoping other people will get it too.

You’ll be pleased to hear that after re-reading the book I have now been without the want or need of a cigarette for over four weeks now.
My life has changed beyond recognition. I know it says in the book not to change your lifestyle but I now find myself enjoy many different sports and excersises that were impossible whilst I was still smoking.
Allen Carr's death is deep tragedy for his family and friends and I’m sure for all those he helped free from smoking. Although I have never meet Mr. Carr I can assure you he has touched my life in possibly the most important way that anyone ever has or ever will. I hope this may be of some small comfort to his loved ones.
Best Regards
Mark

I have successfully (and easily) quit using Allen’s method and have not smoked for almost two years. I used Allen’s book. A friend has also quit after attending a clinic in London.
I am very sad to hear that Allen has died,however, he has inspired and motivated many, many people to achieve things that they never thought were possible (quitting smoking being just one). He has most certainly motivated me.

I stopped smoking two years ago. After years of having to watching my two boys play football and other sports I am now aiming to complete my first half marathon in March 2007.
Thanks for everything without you god knows where I would be now.
