Probably saved my life............... December 12, 2008
Mr. A. Connell
I'm 58 and up until 5 years ago I'd smoked heavily since my early teens. When my daughter said to me "Dad, please stop smoking, I'd like you to meet your grandchildren one day"!, I decided to give this book a try.
I started reading it, and to my delight Allen Carr said I shouldn't stop smoking until I finished the book - that meant I could read it really slowly and carry on smoking for a while ! Mad, crazy thinking, but then eveything about addiction is mad & crazy !
I reckon I took three weeks to finish the book and I haven't had a cigarette since, over five years now - I still can't believe it.....
I gave up alcohol 23 years ago, so I know something about addiction. I found that hard, but it was more urgent, as my life was quickly being destroyed by my drinking. I didn't really believe I'd ever give up smoking as I'd tried quite a few times previously, without success.
There is magic in this book, or at least it feels like that. Allen Carr completely blows all the myths about smoking, including how hard it is to give up. Once I'd finished the book, I found it easy. I had virtually no physical symptoms at all & the physchological symptoms were pretty easy to overcome. I now don't miss cigarettes at all - amazing.
On top of all that, I bought a copy for my son hoping he might read it too, being a heavy smoker & he read the book & has been a non smoker for about three years now.
If you want to stop & save (or at least extend) your life, I heartily recommend this incredible book.
PS I have two grandchildren now, and two more on the way !!
It worked for me February 11, 2008

I was told about this book by a collegue. I started reading it thinking I would read the book but never stop. As I read it I found myself having less and less desire to smoke.
The book was very repetative and at times it would have been easy to stop reading. I continued to the end of the book and have now been a non smoker for over a year.
In that time I have had cravings but but most of the time I am just thankful that i don't smoke anymore.
Gave up by accident after reading this....... February 11, 2008
P. Butteriss (HenleyOnThames UK)
Well sort of!
Read this in conjunction with listening to Paul Mckenna 'Stop Smoking' hypnosis tape (every night for at least 2 wks), and wasn't really sure I wanted to quit, but was supporting a friend (as you do). Had read AC's Easyway, but needed something more hardcore to convince me... I put out my last ciggy at 1pm 7th January 2008, and have not smoked since.
Oh Yes, occassionally felt like a ciggy, but bigger picture is I do not want to be a smoker. Thanks to Allen Carr
20 a day for 25 years - and I LOVED smoking...........If I can do it, YOU CAN TOO ! GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 A real puff piece January 2, 2008

This is essentially a 'superking' version of 'Easy Way to Stop Smoking', whose extended length actually makes it less satisfying and poorer value. Carr pads out his otherwise useful advice with autobiographical details and tedious analogies that add nothing to the text apart from extra, irrelevant pages. He makes this worse by teasing you about 'the instructions' he will soon reveal to help you stop smoking for good, which he kindly manages to withhold until page 380!
The book therefore reads like an unedited version of 'Easy Way' published after the slimmer volume's success to make more money from the smoking 'monster'. By the final page I was no nearer to quitting my habit but had developed a passionate dislike of this self-aggrandising, patronising man and annoyance at myself at boosting further the considerable coffers Carr inhaled from coughers.
The man is a genius! I don't know how he did it December 8, 2007

On buying the book, I was doing just what your doing now. Thinking "it'll never work, not for me"
I decided to give it a go regardless, so I bought this book thinking "hey, Its worth a go at that price" but then left it on a shelf for 2 months un-opened.
I decided to give it a try anyway. WOW! It worked a treat, been smoke-free for 14 weeks now. Following my "final cigarette" i have never once had even a flicker of a craving to smoke, and i use to smoke quite a bit!
I think one of the key elements to the book, is that you do NOT have to stop smoking until you reach almost to the end, and by that time you will most likely already be an ex-smoker.
The book is quite long, and repetitive in places, but don't let this put you off. The repetition is done on purpose.
I was truly astonished just how easy it was! So buy it today, I guarantee you, its the best decison you will ever make.
