The Easyway seminar
Allen Carr’s Easyway seminar program boasts the highest independently-verified success rate of any quit smoking method.
In a study published in the medical journal Addictive Behaviors in November 2006, researchers found that after attending one six-hour Easyway seminar, 53.3% of smokers were still smoke-free after 12 months. This figure increases to 75.8% for smokers attending follow-up sessions (provided free of charge).
To put this in context this success rate is over ten times more effective than using nothing and four times more effective than quit smoking medications. And there are no unpleasant side-effects to worry about.

But this success rate, amazing as it is, is not the real story. The real story is what smokers think of Allen Carr’s Easyway method: in post-seminar evaluations conducted at major corporate clients (Ford, USAF, Sneider’s of Hanover) attendees gave the Easyway program a 100% approval rating, with over 85% giving it the highest possible rating.
