“His method is absolutely unique, removing the dependence on cigarettes, while you are actually smoking. I’m pleased to say it has worked for many of my friends and staff.”
Sir Richard Branson

“Some friends of mine who had stopped using Allen Carr’s method suggested I tried it. I did. It was such a revelation that instantly I was freed from my addiction. Like those friends of mine, I found it not only easy but unbelievably enjoyable to stay stopped.”
Sir Anthony Hopkins

“Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking Program achieved for me a thing that I thought was not possible – to give up a thirty year smoking habit literally overnight. It was nothing short of a miracle.”
Anjelica Huston

“Someone gave me the book years ago…I found it very useful. It’s a great book.”
Lou Reed

“This guy’s brilliant….And I haven’t smoked since – for like a year and a half.”
Ashton Kutcher

“There’ll be no going back.”
Neve Campbell

““It worked for me and about twenty of my friends. Seriously.”
Jason Mraz

“Everyone who reads this book stops. So I stopped and I’m so glad I quit.”
Ellen DeGeneres

“Giving up smoking was one of the biggest achievements of my life. I read Allen Carr’s book and would recommend it to anybody trying to kick the filthy habit. In fact I’ve recommended it many times…”
Michael McIntyre

“Emma and I went to an Allen Carr session and both of us stopped that day..That was about 5 years ago. I have never looked back. Not so much as a crafty puff. Neither has Emma”
Michael Ball

“A friend of mine went to see a therapist and stopped easily…then three more friends went, they experienced no weight gain and no withdrawal symptoms. After seven of my friends had been and stopped smoking easily, I couldn’t ignore it any more. The time I spent with Allen Carr was some of the most important and effective since I smoked the first cigarette when I was fourteen. If it didn’t sound so embarrassing I’d tell you it changed my life. It’s really easy. It really, really works and you don’t put on weight.” Emma Freud

“For the past 20 years or so, I’ve been sending clients wishing to stop smoking to the clinics run by Britain’s internationally renowned quit smoking expert, Allen Carr. Allen has a remarkably high success rate at his worldwide network of clinics. I believe it’s a health scandal that the taxpayer-funded quit smoking authorities don’t seek Allen’s advice and guidance as many major international companies do.”
Carole Caplin

“I stopped with an Allen Carr’s Easyway to Stop Smoking Seminar. I wanted to feel free, not a slave to nicotine which does not give you any pleasure.”
Gianluca Vialli

“The best self-help book ever written”
Lisa Maxwell

“Allen Carr’s Easyway To Stop Smoking is brilliant AND IT WORKS! My recommendation would be to make an appointment at an Allen Carr’s Easyway To Stop Smoking Clinic. I stopped smoking over a year ago – as have five of my friends – and it’s great to be smoke-free. If I had known what other wonderful things would have happened after finally being able to take control of something that was in control of me, I would have done it years ago. Stopping smoking was just the beginning and key for huge happiness in so many areas of my life. Thank you, Allen Carr for changing my life.”
Holly Tucker, Co-founder of notonthehighstreet.com

“The health and safety of our employees is our number one priority and we are always looking to promote general health. We decided to support any member of the Works’ team who wanted to undertake the Easyway programme and are delighted by the results. With all of those who took part in the scheme now smoke-free, I am happy to recommend this programme to smokers and their employers alike.”
Alison Taylor, Health, Safety and Environment Manager, Lafarge Cement

“We have used a number of techniques to encourage smoking cessation in the past (e.g. patches, laser therapy) and, more recently, have used the Allen Carr Easyway technique both onshore and offshore. In terms of average success rate it is clear that, for us, the Allen Carr Easyway technique has shown an advantage over the other methods which we have tried. It has also been well received by staff who have taken part in the sessions we have organized.”
Robert Hirst, Operations Manager, Total

“We first introduced Easyway to Kwik-Fit Financial Service’s staff last year after being impressed with the Easyway approach. Not only have many of our staff stopped smoking as a result of attending the Easyway session, but the appeal of Easyway was far greater than with other methods. From the 25 people who attended our first session 11 months ago, around 75% are still non-smokers! We have scheduled another session and will look to further sessions in the coming months.”
Janice Kerr, Human Resources Manager, Kwik-Fit Financial Services

“The program has been a great success at Schweppes and has provided an effective solution to what is normally a difficult problem to resolve. I do not know of any method which approaches the effectiveness of Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking. The success rates you achieve (between 75% and 80%) are far in excess of anything known to me or my colleagues. I will therefore happily continue to recommend Allen Carr’s Easyway both professionally and personally.”
Dr. Ricardo Serralta, National Co-ordinator of Medical Services for Schweppes

“The program has been a great success at voestalpine in Linz. We had a success rate after one year of 80%. Our study evaluated smoking cessation seminars in the occupational setting by a telephone survey on average 3 years after the seminar. Of the 510 persons 51.4 % said they were still non-smokers while 48.6 % declared to be smoking again. This long term success you will not get by any other method.”
Dr. Helmut Csillag, M.D., voestalpine Stahl GmbH – Linz, Austria

“I am writing to officially thank you on behalf of the council for running the three Easyway to Stop Smoking sessions that have taken place so far under the banner of our Health at Work strategy. The feedback from all three sessions has been very positive, with the success rate of approximately 70%, which is more than we could have expected from other smoking cessation methods.”
Mrs. J Armstrong, Director of Personnel, Middlesborough Borough Council

“What is important is that I am very happy with the result, as far as the people who stopped are concerned. We went to be a non-smoking company without any kind of drama or any kind of incident. The smokers and the non-smokers ended up happy and that’s it. It’s done and dusted.”
Francois Carcaud-Macaire, Human Resource Director, TOTAL

“We’ve found that the results have been excellent in terms of the smoking cessation success… We have a percentage of smokers who require a world class service and Allen Carr’s Easyway are currently providing that for us.”
Nick Read, Business Development Manager, Pru Health

“What we found out from the staff who had stopped smoking was that the time and money spent represented an outstanding investment.”
Ronald Schotten, Human Resource Manager, Levi Strauss

“I honestly do believe that if anyone is even slightly considering stopping, they should without hesitation attend one of the Allen Carr Clinics.”
Laura Stonard, Human Resource Manager, Allied Dunbar Assurance

Medical

Prof. Manfred Neuberger, M.D.
Head of Dpmt. of Preventive Medicine, Institute of Environmental Health,
Medical University of Vienna

“Some of my patients who successfully quit smoking after reading Allen Carr’s book and reports from Occupational Physicians about Allen Carr’s Easyway seminars/clinics made me curious.

First I decided to evaluate the seminars that were presented to employees in their workplaces over a period of 4 months. Successful quitters developed better mental and general health, vitality, physical and social functioning. I was amazed also about the unusually high quit rate after a single intervention: The 1 year quit rate was 40% (worst case assumption) to 55% (best estimate).

To control the results in a different setting and for a longer period of time I decided for a second cohort study in a large steel plant, where the occupational physicians were willing to make the follow up after the seminar by telephone over a mean of 3 years. Of 510 persons 51.4% reported continuing abstinence.

In a random sample of respondents cotinine concentration in urine was measured, showing agreement with smoking history. Of all persons interviewed 50.9% reported long-term abstinence.

Overall the success rates of Allen Carr’s Easyway seminars in the occupational setting exceeded those achieved by other methods. Every second smoker motivated to participate seems to be able to quit, even without medication, and to stay abstinent.”

Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees

“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use (Allen Carr’s) Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”

Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital

“I have observed Allen Carr’s Easyway method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”

Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong

“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”

Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research
Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London

“…I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”

Dr PM Bray MB CH.b., MRCGP

“I was really impressed by the method. In spite of the Allen Carr (Easyway) organisation’s success and fame, there were no gimmicks and the professional approach was something a GP could readily respect. I would be happy to give a medical endorsement of the method to anyone.”

Dr. Ricardo Gonzalez, National Coordinator Medical Services, Schweppes
“The success rates you achieve (between 75% and 80%) are far in excess of anything known to me or my colleagues. I will therefore happily continue to recommend Allen Carr’s Easyway both professionally and personally.”

Dr. Helmut Csillag, M.D., voestalpine Stahl GmbH – Linz, Austria
“The program has been a great success at voestalpine in Linz. We had a success rate after one year of 80%.
