I am a 58 year old male, from Manchester, England, who quit smoking after over 40 years of addiction. I smoked my first experimental cigarettes about age 13 and never really stopped until 1 month ago on my 58th birthday. I read the easyway book about 8 years ago after a recommendtion but somehow things didn’t gell (as Alan puts it). As I was sorting out a drawer I came across the book again and decided to give it another read. I was approaching my birthday so decided this was my target date, I also watched Allen’s videos on youtube. He was a truly remarkable man. This time evrything fell into place, I knew as I smoked that final cigarette that I was to become a non-smoker for the rest of my life. I’m so greatful to Allen and the Easyway organisation for releasing me from the nicotine trap. For the last 4/5 years I became a chain smoker. I’ve spoken to friends who have quit years ago using the willpower and NRT and each 1 has said they could start again tomorrow? What sort of quitting is that?, going through life craving nicotine. I’ve recommended the book to them so like me they can be free and happy to be a non-smoker! Thank-you. Ralph.

Hi, I was a 20 a day smoker for just over 30 years. Last May I was diagnosed with emphysema at age 44. I tryed every thing to stop but failed miserably until a friend sent me your book. It’s now been 25 days since I was a smoker, I have no desire to smoke again and still cant believe how easy you made it for me. Thankyou so much, because of your book my children and grandchildren will have me around a lot longer. God bless you, keep up the good work.

Hola, mi nombre es Manuel, y gracias a leer el libro de Allen Carr pude dejar de fumar!. Tengo 18 años y fumaba desde los 15, realmente una locura, siendo tan chico, con los pulmones aun sin desarrollarse.
Soy argentino y es una lastima que no haya centros Easyway por estas regiones. Además el libro esta totalmente agotado en las librerias, por lo que yo tuve que pedirle a un amigo español que me lo traiga en uno de sus viajes. Ahora le hice fotocopia y se lo preste a mis amigos y espero que también les sirva.
Sentia la necesidad de agradecerle a Allen y a todos los que forman parte de Easyway porque de verdad es un trabajo admirable el que hacen.
Muchisimas Gracias

Thanks to mr Carr, I quit wanting to smoke some years ago. Today I finished his book on alcohol. I have not touched a sigarette since, and I know I wont touch any alcohol from this day on.
It`s very sad I can`t thank Carr in person for helping me get rid of these silly adictions.

I have been a non smoker for 5 wks now and I am so proud, at the moment I am going through a really traumatic time, and only once have I felt “I want a cigarette” and I just thought why? its not going to make things better, only worse, and I felt good. I have smoked for 40yrs and tried all methods patches hypnosis, willpower, Ziban nothing worked until now, the common sense of the late Allen Carr will hopefully last me forever, that book is my bible, and thank you Allen for giving me back my life.

hi, i started smoking when i was 14, peer pressure, to look cool etc,etc. my mum gave me the easyway book about 3 years ago……. i never read it!!! i have been trying to stop on and off for about 3 years but, i honestly thought i was going to have a breakdown unless i had a ciggie every time i tried! the last attempt with will power, patches, inhaltor last 8 long terrible miserable days. i then started to read the easyway book, i didnt really believe it would work but, it was truly amazing and i couldnt wait to finish it so i could smoke my last ciggie and be free of the filth. it has been 3 easy weeks now and im loving it and so is my wife who cant quite believe i dont smoke anymore. i just wish i had read the book sooner as im 34 now and had smoked 4 20yrs!!! THANKYOU MR CARR SO VERY MUCH.

i bought the stop smoking now book as i was determined i was going to stop smoking after 20 years of smoking 20 a day and had tried every other method with no success. i found this book very enlightening and it really works i havent smoked for 4 weeks
Sharon Hardy said,
I was (un)happily smoking away whilst on holiday in Egypt at Christmas when on a trip a gentleman said that if I wanted to give up smoking I had to read Allen Carr’s book. I had tried every other method of quitting and failed so figured it was worth a try but could not really see how reading a book could help me quit. Last cigarette smoked on 24th January at about 11.30am. I had just a few pages of the book left and read these whilst smoking (as directed) still not completed believing that once I turned that last page Yeovil, Somerset
I would not smoke again. I cannot tell you how amazed I am that not only after smoking that last cigarette I feel no side effects whatsoever but I have no desire to smoke anymore despite living with a smoker. I do have two regrets though – I wish I had known about the book years ago and that I had taken contact details from the gentleman who recommended the book as I would so love to thank him.

Helena said,
Still not smoking! Haven’t had a single one for the best part of 2 years now and I’ll never go back. I’ve turned into one of those self-righteous ex-smokers that I always hated. :-)
Thanks again, you changed my life!

Ray said,
I became a non-smoker through using your book 2 hours ago. It really is that easy and I know I don’t have to and won’t smoke again. Thank-you. Will definitely spread the word and so glad I didn’t use the prescription for patches from my Doctor!

ARE YOU ON FACEBOOK??
I think it will HELP lots of people!
Message from Allen Carr's Easyway - Hi Sandy Thanks for your comment. We are on Facebook - search for Allen Carr Thanks for your interest.Sandy Esterhuizen said,
I am from United Kingdom and smoked for 20 years!
Due to health reasons I decided to stop smoking which was really VERY hard.
Thank you Allen Carr for your wonderful method (hypnosis) and giving me “quality” of life back again.
I have been a happy non-smoker for 5 years now and will NEVER EVER smoke again! In fact I cannot be near anyone that smokes, the smell makes me feel sick.
I have suggested this method to many, many friends in the UK and South Africa with success!
No other product like gum, patches etc, work, as they still contain nicotine and is a waste of your money.
Smoking kills!
If you are serious about your well being, this method works!

I am 27 and have smoked for half my life I got up really early with my usual coughing and splutttering on the 2nd of January this year I made a coffee and rolled a smoke and attempted to read the illustrated version of Easy Way that I had been given but never read, it was the first book I had read in 15 years and I read it from start to finish, I stopped smoking that day, as did my wife, Jenney who has smoked about a year or two longer than I have. We are so thankful for Allen’s philosophy and attitude changing ways our lives will never be the same. Thank you
Allen Carr, RIP in God’s caring grasp

Hi,
No long story, but during my husband long treatment of lukemia, I told myself it was time to reduce my daily use of cigarettes (20-30 on workdays, 40 weekends). A friend told me about THE BOOK – halfway through I put it away, thinking: I am not quitting smoking,just reducing it). 2 weeks later, May 1st 2003, I finished THE BOOK, and smoking! NEVER EVER MISSED IT!

Mike H said,
It was 13 years ago, when I lived in the Netherlands. I quit smoking using the willpower method and nicotine patches and felt awful. I bought the Easyway book and was happy to read I didn’t have to quit smoking just yet, so I went out and bought two packs of cigarettes. I finished the book two days later and tossed the last, half empty pack in the fireplace. I have never touched a cigarette again and never felt deprived! I am still grateful every day!
Right now I’m reading the Easy way to stop drinking…
Teresa said,
I quit smoking on October 18, 2003 and have never smoked since. Only once did I crave a cigarette since then. It was during my eighth month of being smoke-free. I just called the phone number on the back of the book and spoke to one of the representatives who answered the phone. He was extremely helpful and since then I have never ever craved anotheert cigarette. My life is full and free.I since then purchased the book for friends and family. I do know a few other people who quit smoking using the book. It is so thrilling to be smoke-free, especially in today’s society. Thank you so much Allen Carr!

Hi
My name is Liz and i have just finished reading your book, Easy way to stop smoking. I am delighted to say that i am now a NON-SMOKER.
I found your book fascinating, I always thought that i smoked(for 9 years) out of boredom and habit.
While reading your book so many, if not all your statements made complete sense. Im not saying its going to be a breeze for me but as long
as i keep reminding myself i do not need nor want to smoke i will be fine.
Thankyou for your insight.
Regards
Liz

After smoking 30 to 40 cigs a day for 30 years, and tried willpower patches gum being hypnosised twice. A friend recommended the easy way. And i am now a happy non smoker with out the withdrawal symptoms why this works when all the other attempts didnt i dont know but i am so glad my friend told me about it, and the NHS should recongnise this method. Wake up Nhs.
david mcgill said,
I am 33 and have smoked for over 21 years. I can remember the very first cigarette I had and I hated it, and here I am 21 years later finally after reading your book having the sense to finally shout to the world that `I AM FREE`.
Your book has been an inspiration to me and can`t believe that this goverment has refused to acknowledge your methods.
Thank you for giving me back my life
Anthony Sheridan said,
Just to let you know that as of 5th Jan 2010 i have quit smoking of 1 year after reading your book. I was on about 40 a day, but hopefully will never look back.

Just had my final ciggerette at midday today, am now a non-smoker and finding this way 2 easy!!! My smoking husband keeps asking “How are u getting on?” “R U okay?” And I am absolutely fantastic! Feel like a weight off my shoulders now! Keep thinking I am forgetting something, but just have so much more time when I’m not nipping outside every hour or so! Delighted with myself & actually still can’t believe I’ve done it! Hopefully I’ve stopped in time without doing too much irrepairable damage to my poor body! Roll on the rest of my life!!
Roya Eskandari said,
I finished Alan Carrs easyway to stop smoking book on Sunday – now 3 days on I havnt had a cigarette and best of all I have no desire to smoke. I can not believe this method is not promoted by doctors/NHS to help smokers become “free” from nicotine. I have already passed my book on to a friend and have bought a second book for another friend. I can guarantee this will be the best book any smoker will read in their lifetime!
Janet Willmott said,
Can’t beleive it smoking for 28 years and read the book, been free for 5 days so far but have found it the easiest way after trying other methods and failing miserably.. This time I feel different, I am enjoying the feeling of being free!
Nick Munday said,
Hello, I would like to tell you about my experience with easyway. I finished reading the book on friday last, immediately I made the solemn vow to never smoke again. All went exceedingly well until this afternoon, I had felt like a happy non smoker for 5 whole days, these have been 5 of the best days I’ve had for 10 years!
After a very busy day painting and decorating my kitchen, I stepped back to admire my work and suddenly had the craving for a cigarrette. I paced up and down for 10 minutes before giving in and off I went to the shop to buy 10.
I found myself having to force the filthy smoke down my throat over almost 10 minutes! I don’t know why I tried one, but it feels terrible. Almost immediately the lethargy kicked in and my chest began to ache, along with the compulsory ‘head rush’. Did I feel better for it? NO WAY!
Everything you say in your book is so true, I now understand how pointless smoking is! The thought of paying to suffocate myself ever again is ridiculous. Over the last week i have felt more confident, awake, alive, energetic, intelligent, proud, saved money, and felt less fearfull about the next ‘fix’.
I know I’ll never NEED to smoke again, and I love that fact! My only regret is that I waited 10 years before realising this.
Thank You so much Allen Carr, I truly owe you my life.
Will said,
Hi, I’m a 21yr old lad who had been smoking since I was 17… I know, not long but long enough to relise I could’nt play football without taking a break :( I loved running as a teenager and when I tryed to run I was gasping for air. That was it for me. I wanted to still be able to do that before it was to late.
I have tonight just finished Allen’s book. I’ve never been an emotinal person, always the type to try and look tough but I cried my eyes out last night reading the first half. Not because of what he was saying but for how blind I have been and how shallow minded I was. I was still smoking as I was reading last night, evey puff I took the more and more I upset myself. Today I finished it. The last fag i had was from a pack of 20. I took the other 19 out and snapped everyone with the biggest smile on my face. It felt so good to know I’ll never have to rely on one of them again.
Thank you so much Allen, I really mean it, thankyou.
Your a legend to me and I will make sure to pass your book on to everyone. RIP!

Hi there! I’m Bogdan, from Romania, male, 36 years, smoker for around 19 years, until 2 weeks ago when I’ve finished to read the book. Really good book, very usefully!! Congratulations to all of you, good luck to the next “ex-smokers”!!
Rachel Lamb said,
I used the Easyway book to give up over 2 years ago. I used patches for the first couple of days to take the edge off but without the book I do not believe that I could have done it that easily. This was my first attempt and I would put that success down to the book. It really does change the way that you think about smoking which, in my opinion, is the only way to be able to give up long term – you need to look at it differently. Thanks for your help.

JOSH MAY said,
I was amazed when I went to visit an old friend and realized he had quit smoking for over two years(he was a two pack a day smoker whom I had witnessed make several attempts at quitting). I asked how he did it and he told me he had read The Easyway to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr and that he hadn’t smoked since. His brother and another friend read it and had the same results! My mother bought it for me and I have officially been nicotine free for over a month now! It wasn’t even that hard!I’ve recommended it to two friends who have both stopped smoking upon completing this marvelous book! I wish I could shake Allen Carr’s hand and thank him for giving me the means to stop smoking for good. Many Thanks from Atlanta,Georgia USA!
Kim Hunter said,
When I first stopped, I used to chant ‘I’m so glad I stopped smoking; I’m so glad I stopped smoking’ until the craving passed. All these years later (and no, not a cigarette since) and I truly am SO GLAD I stopped smoking. I know I would be wrinkled up and dried out by now, if not worse. Yes, it really does work!
Geoff King said,
Finished the book yesterday, so i guess i’m the newest member! I was on about 20 day for the last 25 years. Although a little nervous, i didn’t even finish my last fag, thought what’s the point? Feeling positive that i will never let that nicotine in again. The book does seem amazingly simple, it was a secret santa present from a colleague at work, what a fantastic present!!!
Looking forward to the next couple of weeks, Nicotine – try your best, i’m redy!
laura bennett said,
Having finished the book, I felt obliged to leave a testimonal to say how brilliant it is.
I was initially sceptical and failed to see how there could be an “easy way” to stop smoking, but that could not be more true.
Aside from feeling uplifted and positive both whilst reading, and on finishing it, I have absolutely no desire to reach for a fag, and the nasty little nicotine monster has not even reared its ugly head.
I was trying to stop with NRT, and on finishing the last chapter, my inhalator was promtly thrown in the dustbin where it has remained ever since.
Thank you so much!!! I will be spreading the word :)

Stacy Essex said,
Wow!! I can’t believe this little book actually worked? I was completely sceptical throughout reading the book but tried to remain open minded and it’s worked. I’ve made numerous attempts to quit in the past but now I know I will never smoke again! I Feel happier, healthier and more positive already, even at the prospect of a potential redundancy – weird…..

I have quit! 24hrs have passed and I KNOW its over.

Hi,
I visited an Alan Carr clinic in 2000.
I had struggled to give up cigarette smoking for some 17 years.
I visited the Alan Carr clinic when I had not smoked a cigarette for only 3 weeks and interestingly, I was the only non-smoker in the room. I had to endure other people’s exhaled smoke for some 5 hours and that put me off cigarettes for life !
I have now reached my 10th year as a non smoker and I have never had the urge to smoke since !
Louise Rowland said,
Dear Easyway,
Having just finished the book for the 2nd time I feel on top of the world and so sad that I am unable to pass my thanks on to the man himself although I do listen to the cds in my car most days.
I first read the book about 4.5 years ago and stopped for 3 years and then to my utter discrace I started again. I could give you the excuse but you would have heard it before and i wont be fooling anyone! lol
Well 2010 is the year for me to kick the habit and that I have done. What I find very strange is that I thought it would bother me. its not really. I walk past the smoking area at work and its almost as if I cant smell it even though it would normally be me standing there trying to get a few smokes under my belt before the shift.
The only thing I am noticing is that I seem to have more time on my hands. its odd but I guess I used to allow for the 10 mins here or there to smoke and still be on time for things.
I also find myself seeing more and more of those NRT adverts on the telly and thinking how bloody stupid the NHS are for supporting them. They moan about the health bills then increase promotion on the drug itself. it seems a bit silly really.
Im not even worrying that I might put on a few pounds, not that I will because I am already at weight watchers and doing grand!
The one time I thought I might miss smoking was in my car. It seems to have always been the place I think about it, but instead of missing it I was happier that the car didnt stink! how mad is that. it never bothered me before!
I smoked my last cigarette standing in the freezing cold of my garden in my pjs and dressing gown, feeling nothing more than a pratt and realising that I actually hate even the taste of it and wondered what on earth I was doing. The remainder of the packet went in the bin.
So really all I wanted to say was thank you! Im glad I have done it again and long may it last!
All the best
Louise

I´m brazilian and there are no Allen Carr´s clinics in Brazil so I had to head for the book, which was presented to me by a pharmacist at a drugstore when I was about to buy nicotine patches for one more possibly frustrated attempt to stop smoking after 17 years of try-outs to become a non-smoker. When she said I would stop smoking after reading a book I strongly doubted about it and after a month or so I couldn´t resist the curiosity and bought the book and a bit before the end of it I was already a non-smoker, a true revelation fell upon me and I could breath cleanly for the first time in years, thank you very much indeed Allen, you´ve got your place reserved in heaven.

Read Allen Carr’s book approx 18 months ago after smoking 20 a day for the last 20 years,thought it was a waste of time however never smoked or wanted to smoke after reading the book and for the last 18 months never felt better
Justine said,
Hi there,
A friend gave recommended your book many years ago and after reading it, I stopped smoking and have not had a cigarette, nor the urge to smoke since.
This coming March will be my 7 year anniversary of freedom from this nasty addiction.
Thankyou very much. I can only imagine how much healthier and wealthier I am from not having spent time and money smoking.
Sincerest gratitude,

Don’t fall for the gimicks that you need drugs or anything else to be FREE for good. Just read this book and follow the instructions.

02/03/2010 will be my 1 year anniversary of quitting. After a 30-40 cigs per day slavery for 30 years. No one was more shocked and delighted than me that this method works!
I read, and re-read, and read again, over and over and over, so very sceptical was my mind……….day 12 of being a non-smoker I attended your clinic for reinforcement. Then I “relaxed” into being a “non-smoker” after being so startled that I had, in fact, quit! How funny this sounds to be admitting now, but that was exactly how my experience was!
From the bottom of my heart, thankyou for the indescribable joy of being rid of this terrible addiction.
George Trole-Taylor said,
Thank you Mr. Carr! I thought I would always be a smoker and believed that I would never be able to quit. Now I have quit and it WAS easy! I thank you and my family thanks you!!!

I would like to thank Allen for writing this book. I heard about it from a friend who quit smoking with this book, so I gave it a read too. This January 12th 2010 was my half a year since I stopped smoking. I can not be happier and more thankful for helping me to stop smoking. Thank you again!
RIP
