Sue said,
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.
Heather said,
I am so sorry that Allen has passed away. I wanted to thank him for saving my life. Not only has his method helped me to stop smoking cigarettes, but also to stop drinking and taking drugs. I will be forever grateful to him. Rest in peace, you wonderful, wonderful man.
Brenda Stembalski said,
It is now 9 months since I have had a cigarette thanks to Allen Carr’s book. It was amazing and I thank him everyday with a little prayer.
I will be eternally grateful to him and have introduced others to his book.
Elaine Clements said,
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
Tony Cleary said,
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.

I have stopped smoking, after reading both of your books, and watching the DVD. I cant say its totally easy, but its much easier than any previous attempts, and Im determined never to smoke again. Only in my first day, but know I will succeed.
Thank you Allen for helping me and thousands of others, so sad to hear of your passing, may you rest in peace and condolensces to your family and colleagues for their huge loss.

Sofia said,
Today is my first day of freedom from the nicotine. I’m already loving it and I have made a brilliant poster of my nicotine monster that I look at if I’m feeling obsessed. In fact he has made his way round the office to other smokers who have put him up too!
stephanie schultz said,
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
George Giannakopoulos said,
Hello, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for the help I needed to stop smoking. It was the best ever £200 spent in my life. I attented your clinic in london and after 2 weeks I have become a different person, realising what I have been missing for 20 years. I cannot describe with words how I feel and how trully happy I am. One last thing to say:
“Allen Carr you have earned your wings for giving such a great gift to the human beeings.Thank you from the bottom of my heart and enjoy your eternal life”

Allen Carr makes me feel like crying.
i have smoked 20 cigs a day for 20 years.My husband 60 cigs a day for 33 years. We will never smoke again since reading your book and fully understanding. We now have life. We want to say how much we appreciate your destiny.
Dustin Fenster said,
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
Katheen Sadowski said,
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
Melanie Beard said,
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,
Melanie
Rob Harrison said,
HI, I smoked for 30 years and after reading Allen’s book i put down my last smoke 2 months ago.I have tried in the past to quit without success. Allen has saved my life with his book.The book really works, even i was skeptical but no longer.Allen’s book should be standard practice for quitters. THX Allen
Carlo Alvino said,
I would like to thank Allen Carr for
his wonderful book THE EASYWAY I can’t believe that after 35 years I also have given up the weed. To Allen’s family I pass on my condoleneces and was sadden to hear of his passing. Thanks I am finally a non smoker and proud of it.
I live in Adelaide and would love to establish a clinic in Adelaide South Australia.

Suzane Nievaart said,
After a total of 12 years of smoking and trying to quit smoking, I quit after reading The Easy Way. I have now been a happy non-smoker for a year and a half. Although I find it very sad to hear of Allen’s death, he should be an example to us all, in all facets of life.
Thank you Allen.
jenkil said,
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.
Thanks Allen
Eric in CT, USA said,
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!!!!!
Geoff Crack said,
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.
Geoff

Anna Coventry said,
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!
Ana said,
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!

Helyn Waterfie;d said,
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.
Alex said,
stopped by reading easyway. absolutley fantastic. thank you very much
Michael Clark said,
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.

paul said,
Having smoked for 16 years i thought i would be a smoker for the rest of my life,after reading allen carrs book once i am now free,so thankyou to mr carr for saving me from the scandal of nicotine, a thousand thankyous wouldnt be enough,so sorry to hear about mr carrs passing,but what he has done for millions of people will ensure he will never be forgotten,rip allen carr…..
Clive said,
What can I say that hasn’t already been said a thousand times!
I do what I can to help friends now. One has seen the easyway light, and others ask me every now and then.
Interestingly, my wife is a therapist who can’t believe it’s so easy, so I’m thinking of getting her the weight control book to see if I can get her hooked :)
I was sad to hear of Allen’s death. But what a legacy – you must all be so proud of his achievements. I know I am!

yo ya estuve en una reunión en Madrid el verano pasado y admito
que fracasé en mi intento de abandonar el tabaco, pero duermo cada noche con el libro de Allen Carr en mi mesita de noche y trato día a día de dejar de fumar. me gustaría daros mi más sentido pésame a todos los que
trabajais en su gran proyecto y sobre todo a su familia, yo se que tarde
o temprano lograré dejar de fumar y como Allen Carr diría solo tengo que
seguir sus instrucciones, no pienso ser parte de ese pequeño % de gente a
la que él no pudo ayudar. Un Saludo
I already was in a meeting in Madrid the last summer and admit that I failed in my attempt to give up tobacco, but sleep every night with the book of Allen Carr in my small table at night and treatment day to day to stop smoke. I would like daros my more felt condolence to all those that trabajais in its great project and mainly to its family, I that sooner or later I will manage to let smoke and as Allen Carr would say only I must follow its instructions, I do not think to be part of that small % of people to whom he could not help.

I would like to convey my condolences to Allen Carr’s family and friends.
though i had never met him he has had a great and lasting impact on my
life. I have been struggling with a serious chronic illness so unable to
get to any clinics.
I consider him one of the noblest people of the last century, with his
wife, Joyce.

I read Allan Carr’s book in Nov 2005, and have not smoked since. It changed my life forever, and hopefully for those persons I passed it onto as well.
Allan Carr will always be remembered, and may his books continue to impact so many people all over the world.

Hola. Soy M Carmen y me entere el otro dia y por casualidad que habia
muerto un gran hombre al cual yo admiro y admirare, pues gracias a el yo deje de envenenarme. Lo senti mucho y pence que es una pena que personas como el se vayan de este mundo sin ton ni son como si lo que ha llegado a hacer no fuera importante para la humanidad. Por esta razon me gustaria que se supiera que hemos sido muchisima gente la que hemos dejado de fumar gracias a sus metodos, y es por esto por lo que escribo esta carta, para remarcar la importancia de su trabajo y lo triste de haber pasado inadvertida su muerte.
Por ello os doy el pésame a todos los que habéis hecho posible que sus
enseñanzas hayan llegado a tanta gente.
Un beso.
Hasta siempre.
Hello. I am M Carmen and the other day I found out by chance that Allen died - a great man who I admire and will admire, because thanks to him I stopped poisoning myself. Senti much and pence that is a pain that people as they go away without rhyme or reason of this world as if what it has gotten to make not outside important for the humanity. For this reason gustaria me that one knew that we have been muchisima people the one that we have stopped smoking thanks to its method, and it is for this reason why I write this letter, to remark on the importance of its work and the sad thing of having not known of Allens death. For that reason I give condolences to all those who have made possible with their lessons. A kiss. Until always.

Hi,
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..
Thanks

I have read today of Allen Carr’s sad passing and wished to express my condolences to his family and also to his colleagues in the noble work that he commenced over 20 years ago.
I am one of the vast number of “Happy Non-Smokers” who will always be grateful to him. His passing will be a great loss but I am sure his work will be continued by his colleagues around the world to great and continued effect.
With very best regards,

Ibrahim said,
Allan Carr truly showed the world how the world can be changed for the better, one smoker at a time .
There is No more fitting tribute to Allen than the millions of smoke free exsmokers who are still alive today. He also went on to show how to lose weight - now we need another Allen Carr to show us How to stop the sugar habit, and another one to show the world how to stop wars . Allen’s legacy will live on – millions have cried at his going.

Georgina Powell said,
I gave up smoking on december 15th 2004 only to start again in may last year. 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!

Thank you Allen for inspiring me. God Bless.
Tony Bourke said,
Even though Allen is gone I’m glad his easyway to stop smoking book helps him live on.
I purchased it by chance on Saturday and can honestly say that I have stopped smoking for good.
I knew it was all in my head and I can say that the little monster is dead, the big one is dying and I feel great.
By the way I had that great feeling of revelation whilst I was halfway through the book.
Thanks Allen. Rest In Peace.

Steph Baron said,
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!
Tamara Platash said,
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
Sue said,
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.
Darren from Croydon said,
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.
Ronan Hogan said,
Thanks to Easyway I am now a non-smoker once again. Easy.
Dave Black said,
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!
