Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking: Allen Carr's Easyway Series

I've been around the block a few times. Tried quitting smoking with patches, gum, the whole nine yards. Nothing stuck. I even bought one of those fancy hypnosis things advertised late at night on TV. Didn't work either. So, when I came across this book, Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking, I was skeptical, to say the least. But, hey, I was a pack-a-day vaper for years by this point, and I was starting to feel it in my lungs. So, I figured, why not give it a shot? The book wasn't exactly a beach read. It wasn't super short, and it did use some long words here and there. But the way Carr explained things about the psychology of addiction just clicked for me. It wasn't about willpower, which I never seemed to have much of anyway. It was about understanding the whole game cigarettes were playing on my mind. Here's the surprising part: It worked. I finished the book, put down my vape, and haven't looked back. It's been over a year now, and I can honestly say I don't even crave nicotine anymore. Now, the book isn't perfect. There's a bit more repetition than a bodybuilder at a protein shake convention. But hey, if that's the price I gotta pay to breathe easy and save a ton of money, then I'm all for it. So, if you're a smoker who's tried everything else and is ready to throw in the towel, give this book a shot. You might be surprised at what happens. Just keep an open mind and be willing to learn a new way of thinking about smoking. It worked for this old dog, so it just might work for you too.

First time I stumbled upon this book was in 2010. At that time I was a two-pack a day smoker for 15 years. The booked helped then, and I was able to kick my nicotine habit until 2022. That was when due to my own stupidity I got into vaping. When I understood that I simply tricked my mind into returning back to my old addiction I decided to re-read the book. I didn't have the paper copy of my old book anymore. I thought I would never need it again and gave it away to a friend who was trying to quit (He did quit, by the way). So I decided to get this updated electronic version instead. It worked great! I am currently nicotine free for 8 months and have no cravings at all. This book costs about the same as a pack of cigarettes or a vaping pen. All you need to do is read and pay attention. The book will help you to reprogram your brain and you will become a non-smoker. By the way, you can continue smoking while reading the book. In fact the author even recommends that. After you finish the book, you smoke your last cigarette/vape and that's it. You are free from you addiction. It is indeed easy. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain. Give it a shot!

5 days since the last time I smoked, feeling awesome, never felt so relaxed and calmed in previos attempts to quit smoking and i jow this time is for good. Currently suggesting this book to everyone i know that smoke. Just wish i read it before but still the timing is perfect. I could never imagine that a book c Be filled with the information, so clear, to achieve what is was looking for. Imagine even reading the version from 1999, is nice to read the book entirely in allen carr's words.

It really works when the teachings are able to sink it. I first got this book in May of 2023 because at that time, after trying to stop drinking for years, my cousin died out the blue from cirrhosis and my whole want and taste for alcohol left my body and mind. I quit immediately and have not ever craved again after drinking hard liquor daily for years. I wanted to quit smoking too because I know that both of these addictions were killing me and doing nothing positive for me. I researched self help books and found this one. I started reading and read a few chapters and then put it down. But those initial reverse brain-washing teachings tauggt in the book were still heavy in my mind. They were working in my subconscious. I hated cigarettes but I also thought I "loved" them. I had to smoke first thing in the morning "to start my day off", which only helped to drain my energy and in essence, ruin my whole day. I would be so ready to seize the day until I smoke a cigarette. After eating, after exercise, after and before everything, I needed to smoke. Nothing was complete or good enough until I smoked a cigarette. But it actually just ruined those moments. I was tired of the cigarettes controlling everything about my life. My mind was always thinking about and planning for the next cigarette. First I purchased some patches and lozenges because I started with the government quit help challenges and they suggest substitutes to help you quit smoking but recognize that it is the Nicotine that your addicted to, not the act of smoking. If you wrapped anything besides tobacco and Nicotine in cigarette paper, you wouldn't want to light it up and suck carbon monixide into your lungs. It's the Nicotine addiction. The reverse brain washing continues to work in the background. Number one, cigarettes do absolutely nothing for you. They don't help you relax ..they actually make you more anxious. They don't make you happy, feel good, nothing! It's all in our minds. The only thing it does is take the monkey off ur back for a few seconds that the last cigarette caused. It's the addiction to Nicotine that causes the so called good and the bad. The book helps you to recognize the truth. Just read or listen to the book. If you can open ur mind and allow the reverse brain washing to take place... since currently we are brain washed by the Nicotine, thinking it actually does something for us, it doesn't! This book may help you and it may not. But today, I am a non smoker since June 23rd 2024. Over a month. I put tissue in a cut down straw and mimmicked cigarette smoking and I did the Nicotine patch for a few days to help me with the habit part...smoking in the morning, after meals, after sex...it helped. Then on that 4th day or so, I felt the patch poisoning me! I ripped it off a half hour after putting on and haven't had the urge for nicotine since that morning. A month without nicotine. The teachings of this book finally got it...reconciled with my mind and body and I AM FREE NOW!!! I AM SO HAPPY TODAY! I don't have to smoke anymore nor do I want to. No urges. I am now reading the book again and almost to the end. I will reread it too to seal the truth in my mind that smoking does absolutely nothing for you but make you stink. I recommend that everyone get this book if you need help quitting smoking, vaping, Nicotine. To note, I am a 49 yo, blackish woman, who has smoked mostly on and off since I was 17. 30 plus years. It really was easy to quit this time. Whoopie!!! I am free!!! And I smell good!

This book has been helping me as I work my program.

This book changed my life completely anyone who wants to quit smoking cigs or vaping I highly recommend this book allen was and always will be legend for this….. god bless him🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

chapter 11 and 12 are not missing. they were trying to bring a point across that there are NO advantages to smoking or vaping!!

I've smoked for 53 years and decided it was time to quit so I gave this book a shot. First off, it is VERY repetitive, I'm assuming this is because it is trying to "rewire" your thoughts about nicotine. I've seen many comments that there was nothing to read in Chapters 11 and 12. A bit of humor on the author's part, chapter 11 is the Advantage of Being a Smoker and chapter 12 is titled the Advantage of Being a Vaper, Juuler, Dipper, Chewer or Snuser. There are some interesting points that made me stop and think, but I had no WOW moment when I felt "unbrainwashed". Throughout the book there are phrases such as "with the Easyway method, you'll be able to quit without side effect" or "with the Easyway method you won't suffer from withdrawal and you won't be constantly thinking about smoking". I kept thinking okay fine, what is the method. It seems reading this repetitive book IS the method, by the end you should be cigarette free because your thoughts about nicotine and addition have been altered. It gave me insight into smoking and I found it easier to not smoke with the information. I would like to reread it, but it suggests that you continue to smoke while reading and I don't want that temptation.
