The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr (2004, Hardcover)

No matter what method you choose to use to stop smoking, everyone needs to purchase this book. It fills in the voids and may even make you think about your way of choice for quitting smoking.

Nicotine is the most addictive drug in existence, but the withdrawal pangs are very light to non existent. This book explains exactly why it is that we think we need a cigarette and it has nothing to do with withdrawal nor habits.

Excellent book, once again I would buy it for my friend who wanted to quit. Wish I had a warehouse full of these books, would give them away.

Because of the book I cannot physically walk into a covenience store and get a pack of cigarettes, nor turn to my daughter and say give me your cigarette so I can hit it, as I was doing when I started out wearing the nicotine patches, I was cheating about a cigarette a day. I learned from reading Allen Carr's book that there is no such thing as just ONE cigarette.

Try it the book doesn't insist you quit, you even are encouraged to smoke all the way through reading the book, but Allen Carr has a higher than 90% success rate for quitting. Secret knowledge you can use!

This book is very easy to read and you don’t have to stop smoking until you are done with the book. By the end of the book you will be happy to smoke your last cigarette and even happier to say “Isn’t nice to be a non-smoker!” If you know someone who smokes and you want them to stop, give them this book. If you are a smoker now and you are ready to stop paying for a slow death, then read this book!!!

This book worked for both me and my husband. The only thing I'd like to mention is that you have to WANT to quit - if you don't want to quit smoking, you're not going to (whether you read a book, or put on the patch, etc.).

I liked this book because it dealt largely with the psychology behind why people smoke and focused less on the "smoking is bad, will cause cancer, etc." type of tactics. My husband and I both found it very helpful and informative, and neither one of us miss smoking at all.

I was really skeptical about it being so easy - but it was. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to quit smoking! Good luck :)

Good book to read. However, I think the title is misleading. Quitting smoking is not easy, and after reading his book, I haven't found it easy. Book goes on to repeat a great deal in the book about what smoking does not do for you, i.e. how bad it tastes, how much one coughs, how much we spend on cigarettes, etc., and what one gains from quitting, which are all very true, but I did not expect that the it would continually refer to smokers not liking the taste of cigarettes, how much cigarettes cost, and how it smells. A lot of good points to ponder and think about to use against that little "monster" (nicotine) withdrawal when trying to quit cold turkey.

Great price for a very informative book. I know it will contribute to my
efforts to stop smoking. I never knew about this book until people told
me it helped them to quit smoking.

Good book we'll see how my addiction stops it will be hard but the points made in the book are helpful

I have researched this book and found that it's one of the easiest ways for a smoker to quit the habit without the usual negatives. The price was perfect and the quality of the book was like new. I gave this as a gift to a smoker who wants to quit.

Not a bad book I identifies a bunch of good reasons to quit. I myself havent yet sadly but i cant expect a miracle from a book give it a look its only like 20 bucks stop buyin fags for a couple days if u live in NY.

bought this book as a gift for my mother who has smoked since she as a teen & is now 70 - two weeks smoke free! she says the book gives a whole new outlook to quitting & she actually enjoyed the process!

This book will completely change your thinking about cigarettes as well as your day to day life with or without smokes. I finished the book and no longer desire to smoke at all - no cravings - no additional stress - all because of the insights this book offers. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is a smoker - whether you want to quit or enjoy smoking - READ THIS BOOK!!!!

I want to start by saying that Thankyou! I bought this book for my father. He has smoked at least a pack a day for some 55 years.After reading your book he has not smoked in the past four day's. I know this is not a long time, but it is a start. Hopefully in the right direction. I am telling all of my family and freinds who smoke to get this book and read it! If it can help my father then i am sure it can help them. Again thankyou for this book and i hope you keep helping others as you have helped my family.
Sincerly,

A friend of mine recommended this book to me the day I decided to stop smoking on my own. Her husband smoked 2 packs a day for 20 years and she also had 3 other friends who had quit after reading this book. I bought it and received it 2 days later and finished it within the first 4 days. It's now been 2 weeks since my last cigarette and I WILL NEVER SMOKE AGAIN! I had stared my "stop smoking process" by using the gum, but 3 days into the book I quit that too!
It was so easy.....
Now if I can get my friends to read it...

Less than 1 week after reading this book, my husband quit smoking after 25 years! and the best part is he is more of a pleasure to be around, he's always in a great mood (3 1/2 weeks and counting). We have 1 family member who has also quit last week using Allen Carr's method and several more have started reading due to my hubby's success. THANK YOU ALLEN CARR

I was prompted by my Fiance to read this book. He had been a two pack a day smoker for 18 years and had quit a couple of times in the past, but never sucessfully, until he read this book. I had never heard him so confident and happy with his choice to quit. After hearing his excitement, I knew I had to read it and I did. Now, I just wished I would have read it years ago! The book makes alot of sense and definitely gives a "confirmed smoker" all the motivation they need to quit!

I didn't believe it at first. But I pushed myself to read it, and I became a non-smoke at the end! It was that simple. I just kept an open mind and payed attention as Allen Carr debunked every reason I smoke for. It is very easy to read and funny at times.

I smoked for over 20 years and tried to quit a thousand times. I heard about this book decided to buy it, when I finished the book I smoked my last cigarette and have not smoked since. I don't know why this was "easy" but it was. Anyone who really wants to quit smoking should read this book.

Would do business again!!heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

I was very delighted with this item. Not only was it in perfect condition as described by the seller, but I received it in 2 days. I highly recommend this seller.

This book is a true miracle. I was a smoker for twelve years. I smoked 1 & 1/2 packs of cigarettes per day. After reading this book I quit. Not only did I quit, but my mother who smoked for over 40 years quit & so did my brothers. This book does not scare you & tell you what is going to happen to you if you don't quit smoking, instead it makes you understand that you do not need cigarettes. I tried to quit before & nothing worked, except for this book. You even smoke while reading the book. I definetely recommend this book. It it also an easy read.

This book is not what most would expect it to be. This is a logical approach to kicking the habit.

I started with the nicoderm patch, within a few chapters of the book I found myself no longer wanting to even use that. I have had no urge, Ive not been cranky and I am loving it! It has now been 33 day's since I once again became a non smoker for the first time in over 15 years.

If you read this book totally open minded you will understand thing's you didn't before, and realize it is just as easy as anything else you've done in your life.

If you are still reading this you are like any other smoker who ask's themself while smoking, why am I smoking? Or I never thought Id still be smoking all these years later! You don't even like it until you are told you cant smoke, then the nicotine becomes invaluable, but if you smoke ten cigarettes in 20 minutes you really want to quit all together!

There are so many things I ignored before. When you become, once again a non smoker you will appreciate those words!

I would wish you good luck at this point but you really don't need it, keep an open mind while reading the book and enjoy what comes naturally!

I bought this book, hoping for it to be the "miracle cure", yet having some hesitation. I read the reviews on other websites, and people said such wonderful things, that I figured it couldn't hurt. I have tried countless other ways to stop smoking (the patch, the gum, the lozenges, cold turkey, etc. etc.), and, obviously, they failed. I read the book with an open mind, and tried to "take it all in". I ended up finishing it in one day, and was so ready to start, that I threw away an almost full carton of cigarettes (8 packs). About half way through the book, I was already motivated, thinking about what was to come. The last half was a bit anti-climatic, but I was still ready to give it my best shot. For the first few hours, I was fine. However, once the nicotine withdraws started kicking it, it was pure h*ll. I stayed quit for about 2.5 days, until my body couldn't physically take it anymore. I felt so unlike myself, that I eventually gave in. The sadness, crying, and overall feeling of "yuck" was so powerful, that I couldn't do it anymore. I, as I said, was SO NOT ME. I tried so hard to push through it, but I just couldn't. In the book, he says that there is no withdraw, there's just letting the nicotine have the control. He also says don't expect any time frame for the cravings to pass, or they won't. In actuality, no matter how much you want to quit, there's no fighting the cravings in an "easy way". I wish so bad that this book would've worked. But I'm sad to say, that it didn't.

I had been smoking for 10 years, my dad over 20, then he got this book he read it, and quit. He was smoking about 2 packs a day and he quit. Then he gave me the book, and i read it. What i found out in the book was so valuable that quiting was easy. I learned that just one cigarette means so much more for the body cause it perpetuates the cycle of addiction. Allen Carr recommends that you continue to smoke while reading the book, he didn't want us to quit cold turkey and put the book down, he wanted for us to get to the very end. And I got to the very end of the book and i havn't smoked since then. That was about 4 years ago. My father hasn't smoked at all since then either. This book is very informative and i recommend it to everyone. If you're concerned about a loved one who smokes, then maybe you should get them this book. It could very well save their life.

great book followed what he wrote and have not smoked since aug 2008 with no problems. I would recommend it to any one that had wanted to stop smoking. Had smoked for close to 28 years when i quit.

I bought it because Ive been an on/off smoker for years and wanted something to really help me stop for good. With an open mind this book can Reaaally help anyone who wants to quit FOR GOOD, and doesn't think its possible
