Advantages: I am a non-smoker, need I say more?
Disadvantages: None - just wish I'd read it sooner!

...was so easy after reading Allen Carr’s “Easy Way to Stop Smoking” book. I realise that everyone’s experience with smoking and stopping smoking is different, and what's easy to me might not be easy to others. However, I am writing this in the hope that it prompts someone to read the book, and that it changes their life as it has mine. The book actually says in it that you should keep it close by to refer back to, but I haven’t had to refer back to ...
...May 2006, I came across Allen Carr's "Easy Way to Stop Smoking" book. I had never bought a self-help book before and never had any desire to. However, I had a birthday book token to spend and thought I might as well get it. I actually bought it at the full RRP price of £8.99, but it can be bought for less! On returning to work I started reading, and I started to think I shouldn't have bothered. The book made out that there was an easy way to stop ... Read review

Advantages: I'm a non-smoker now, where do you want me to start?
Disadvantages: NONE

...doomed. A friend recommended Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking to me in early March. It worked for her and she reckoned I could do it despite of the tobacco lying around the flat. Then another friend successfully kicked the habit using Allen Carr's methods so I decided to give it a try. I bought the book from Amazon for around a fiver including post and package (that's just slightly more than a pack of 20 by the way). ***The Book*** Firstly, ...
...can be very repetitive. Allen outlines basic concepts that make so much sense to smokers, if you are a smoker then hopefully you will see smoking in a totally different light almost immediately. Allen himself was a heavy (50 odd a day) smoker for 30 years. He quit 15 years ago and has never looked back. Now he has devoted his life to teaching others how to do the same using his methods. Allen encourages readers to smoke while they read the book and ... Read review

Advantages: There's a strong possibility you'll be healthier, wealthier, happier and smell sweeter!
Disadvantages: None

...book held. In fact, Allen Carr is not an eminent psychologist or a medical guru, he was actually an accountant who smoked 100 cigarettes per day and languished over the reasons why he was so terribly addicted to nicotine. What he came up with to "cure " himself eventually evolved into " The Easy Way to Stop Smoking " and has sold over 2 million copies (according to my 20th Anniversary edition which was reprinted in 2004). So why is this book so ...
...the nicotine nightmare forever. Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking RRP is £8.99 but at the time of writing I found it available on Amazon at £5.39 (plus postage).

Advantages: To many to mention, better health, saved money, better quality of life and total FREEDOM
Disadvantages: Search though I did, I could find no disadvantage

...was going to stop. Allen Carr's methodology is simple, he just tells it like it is.....you aren't actually 'quitting' or 'giving up' because to use that language reinforces the belief that you are sacrificing something when you become a non smoker, and you aren't....the benefits are huge, you're actually gaining something, your total freedom from the slavery of nicotine and an improvement of the life you already have. Since the ritual of the final ...
...pangs, no withdrawal symptoms and no trouble whatsoever, I was a little nervous upon my first visit to a pub (always the place where I'd gone back to smoking in the past) but I passed the test with flying colours. Just so you know, I was totally dedicated to smoking, even until the day of my untimely and early death, and I believed I would never stop, but just one read of this book worked for me, and if you go into it with the right mindset (i.e ...

Advantages: It really works!
Disadvantages: Author comes across as somewhat egotistical occasionally

...writing style or phraseology, but Allen Carr’s easy way to stop smoking certainly offers just what it says. Some of you may have noticed that I wrote a review just over a year ago on a relatively new quit-smoking aid known as Zyban, and how happy I had been to have become a non-smoker with the help of this drug. You may therefore wonder why I felt the need to read the book so long after stopping. The truth is, like so many other smokers who quit ...
...addicted smoker would be. Allen Carr claims that if you read the book from start to finish with an open mind and follow all of the instructions, then by the time you reach the end you will be a happy non-smoker. What’s more, he claims that you do not need to exercise any willpower in order to reach this state of mind, or use any substitutes, and you are allowed to smoke while reading the book. In fact, he categorically states that you have to smoke ... Read review
