Tam said,
Fantastic – I have only been a non-smoker for a week and so has my husband and everyone is amazed that we have stopped and so am I.
Thank you so much and fingers crossed we wont ever have to come back.
Donald is amazed how good everything tastes and how everything seems so much clearer.
Thank you so much Emma for your amazing words last week in Bournemouth. Allen Carr was a truly wonderful man and like many others i wish he was around to be able to say a personal thank you to.
Jonathan Levin said,
Well its over a week and I am free from the addiction. I smile every time I have a craving!!!
Juan said,
Thanks Allen, really thanks.
abby said,
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!
Michael Cobb said,
Today is one year of quitting smoking. I smoked for 8 years and got up to 1 1/2 packs a day.
Pamela said,
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.
RACHEL KELLY said,
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!

Mark Colling said,
I stopped smoking on 27th November 2007 after reading The Easyway book my sister had given me 3 years previously! 3 years wasted!! I have since listened to the audio version( several times) and read The Onlyway and Allens autobiography. In short I am now an Allen Carr addict, beats the nicotine anyday.
THANK YOU

Saadi said,
Hello, i’m quit smoking after reading first pages! After some days my friends and colleagues(most of them smoke) ask why i’m not smoking? I tell them: i’m free from nikotin and fell myself fine! They ask how? I recommend read this book…. Now 1 month path, 3 colleagues quit smoking. My father have 36 years smoking. When i finished reading the book and talk with him, he also quit smoking.
I like it and will help more peoples quit smoking!
Thank You!
Morrie Rothstein said,
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.
John Heneghan said,
I stopped smoking 6 months ago thanks to the easyway book, best decision of my life, ll never look back
Anji said,
Yippee – I think I can safely say that I have cracked it.
I attended your session in Cambridge on 1 July 2007 and haven’t touched a cigarette since.
Just wanted to say a big Thank You.
Kind regards.

Steve said,
Dear Charles, My name is Steve Dawson and I attended one of your
ourses on the 9th of December 2006 at the Bristol Marriott hotel. I
would have been the oldest in the group who attended that day, 60, and
ad been smoking since the age of 13 or 14. You may remember that I
smoked roll ups and had a coffing fit during the final session! When I
left at the end I remember you shaking my hand, fixing me eye to eye
nd saying, “You will be alright!”
Well one year and one month later I am more than alright! I have not
opportunity to say a big thankyou to you, Charles and to the late Mr
Carr. I would be willing to give any testimonials you require and
endorse your methods to all and sundry as I already do! Once more many
thanks to you and your organisation, Steve

jo said,
Thanks… it was SO EASY to walk away from smoking… Allen’s
book is everything I needed to feel confident and supported with soundadvice to quit smoking…it’s been over a year and now I’ve taken up
boxing for excercise!!! I love that I don’t smoke and I tell everyone
about your fantastic book. Thanks for my health back…from down under.
Gillian said,
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.jim said,
I Wish to thank you at “easy way” for making me give up smoking!!!
I was a 40 a day smoker!
Being a long distance lorry driver i thought it would be very difficult for me to stop!
But when i listened to the CDs and the CD rom .. I really did see the light !!
It was really easy once you followed the instructions .And i will never smoke again!!!
Thank you…
Regards
JimLuisa said,
Mr Allen Carr I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my
heart (and lungs) for saving my life! I have been cigarrette free for
almost 2 years and I will never EVER smoke again. I feel wonderful and
thanks to you I have been able to break the curse that had taken over me for 15 years. A HUGE hug from Mexico. Have a wonderful day!
Paul said,
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!!!!
Nik Stevenson said,
I’ve just had my final cigareete I feel great. I am so blessed not to have to smoke any more and shape my life around getting relief from this awful drug. Thank you so much I really feel that I can me a non-smoker now and it feels great.

Rob, Birmingham said,
Just a note to say thank you – and to let everyone know that it does work! I bought The Easy Way To Stop Smoking book in August 2007 and more than 6 months later I am still a non smoker. It does work. When I tried NRT before this I only lasted 4 days. The best investment of my life. And I have saved in excess of £1000.
Kim Vincent said,
Hello! It’s been over a year now. Just wanted to check in and let people know that these testimonials are true. I sent my original testimonial back in February ‘07 when I knew after 3 weeks that I would never smoke again. If you really want to stop smoking for good, Allen Carr’s method WORKS! IT WORKS!!!
Meg said,
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.
Valerio Zupo said,
I am so sorry: while I was stopping smoking, using the “easy way” method, exactly in November of 2 years ago, Allen was dieing. It’s really a peaty. 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.

Nicky Taylor said,
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!
Andy McHaffie said,
To “K” who wonders if we have all still stopped …
Well yes indeed. Its been 10 months now. I know it is over for good, and I still feel so happy every day that I dno’t need to smoke any more.
Michelle said,
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.

Mariruth Morton said,
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’!
Lisa said,
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.
Steve said,
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 and giving me my life back. Your book belongs next too every cigarette stand in the world.
Thank you verrrrrrry much

jo said,
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

Janina and Lee said,
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 :-)
Frank said,
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.
Vanessa Preston said,
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!
Perry Bourque said,
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.Lynda Goodwin, Huddersfield, UK said,
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.

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!
Ian O said,
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.
Thanks for freeing me.

Good luck xxx
James Newcombe said,
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.
Gary Morgan - Glasgow, Scot said,
Who would have thought it would be so easy.. Genius.. Saw the book in Asda, bought it, read it over 2 nights and presto… Instant non smoker. If only divorce was as easy. Thanks Allen, you have saved my life
Anna Owens said,
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.
Esquire said,
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!
Valelia said,
My god..after 34yrs, I finally did it! I have been a non smoker since Jan 27th..the 28th was my 45th birthday, what a fantastic present! I can proudly hold my head up high and say “for the first time in my life…I have COMPLETE CONTROL OVER MY LIFE!!! Thank you Allen Carr!
stan said,
While reading the last chapter of the book, I was walking around the house, puffing my last cigarette, while throwing out all my ashtrays.
I finished the book, threw out the last ashtray, and broke up the rest of my cigarette pack. Its only been a bit over 24 hrs, but I know that I am a non-smoker.
