Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking

Product Information

So you’re thinking of getting free of drugs, whether it’s heroin, cocaine, cannabis, ketamine, prescription drugs or any other drug that’s great. And feel even more relaxed without suffering from unpleasant withdrawal symptoms and without longing for drugs or envying other users. At Allen Carr Clinics during stop-smoking sessions, smokers are allowed to continue smoking while their doubts and fears are removed, with the aim of encouraging and developing the mindset of a non-smoker before the final cigarette is extinguished. A further reason for allowing smokers to smoke while undergoing counselling is Carr's belief that it is more difficult to convince a smoker to stop until they understand the mechanism of "the nicotine trap". This is because their attention is diminished while they continue to believe it is traumatic and extremely difficult to quit and continue to maintain the belief that they are dependent on nicotine.

Although I like this idea – it does rely on the father retaining a sense of humour and fun on the issue and given his intransigent stance to date – I fear that might be unlikely.

Throughout the day, there will be times when you might be reminded that you used to smoke. If you always had a cigarette with your morning coffee, for example, you might suddenly think about having one then. If that happens it's important to remember that you've escaped from something awful and that you're happy to be free rather than think "I can't have a cigarette right now." Instead think, "Isn't it great I'm free!" [10] X Research source Some people, particularly celebrities, prefer 1 to 1 seminar, and these are also available on special request.

Success stories

Prepare for nicotine withdrawal. In the first days especially, your body will go through very mild feelings of withdrawal. As long as you understand the principle of Allen Carr's method, these feelings are hardly noticeable. Most people who attend our seminars do so as a result of hearing about us from friends, relatives and colleagues who successfully stop smoking with Allen Carr’s method.

[11] X Research source Allen Carr’s Easyway is fortunate to have many, many celebrity endorsements from people who used the method to quit smoking and Ellen Degeneres is mentioned in the feature. Of course, Ellen famously quit smoking with Allen Carr’s Easyway and was kind enough to recommend the method to her millions of viewers across the world. Jen also mentions Sir Anthony Hopkins and Ashton Kutcher as former smokers who used the method and confirms that a great aspect of the programme is that it doesn’t “delve into any health-related information or offer any of the standard scare tactics that we’re all already well aware of”.

In a way, that perfectly describes the predicament of a book reader who struggles to quit. There are some that hold on tight, hoping and praying that they’ll eventually drift towards land or see a passing ship. And indeed there are some who make it to safety.

Despite the book’s tremendous success, we were acutely aware that some people needed more help to quit than that which could be provided in a book. Understanding that a) not everyone could afford a Live Group Seminar and b) not everyone had access to a local Live Group Seminar, we created a dynamic, audio-visual, in depth presentation of the method.
