Dr Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking

I am going to start off this review with a little of my smoking background. I'm 27 years old I had smoked since i was 16 years old. I had never been a particually heavy smoker - on a bad day i would never smoke more than 15 cigerettes per day. (That would have to be a very bad day!) I also was not an early morning smoker, the thought of waking up and having a cigerette in those first few minutes would make me gag!! I'd normally have been up and about for at least an hour and half before lighting up. I would say i was more of a routine smoker...2 cigs on my way to work, 1 on my morning break, 1 after dinner, 2 on my way home from work and maybe 5 during the evening. ...  Read the complete review

Being medically trained, I have always believed that the best way to beat the smoking habit was to use nicotine replacement therapy (patches, tabs, gum, inhalators...) How wrong I have been proved to be. Allen Carr is a normal everyday guy (not a doctor as this category erroneously states), who managed to stop smoking. Previously he had been on a 60-80/day habit, and then, one day, he stopped. No help, no patches, nothing. Just stopped. And he was so surprised about this, he thought he'd write a book. And this is where the story takes a slightly less enjoyable twist, because he didn't stop there. He now writes books about "The Easy ...  Read the complete review

You know when you wake up in the morning after a heavy night – your eyes feel like they’ve been poked with something red hot and pokey, your chest is tight as a duck’s rear end and your mouth feels like a hippie set up a commune in there. Chances are, if you recognise this description, you are a smoker. A month ago I was a 20-a-day girl – watch it! – or to be truthful, closer to 30. Like many people, I couldn’t function without a fag. I would avoid travel, because you can’t smoke on planes, trains or buses any more. I hated going to the theatre or cinema because it was so long to intermission. I wouldn’t go to ...  Read the complete review

Smoking is very hard to give up but is easy to stop; don't understand then you haven't read Alan Carr's 'The Easy Way to Stop Smoking'. I 'gave up' smoking on several occasions and always found it extremely difficult, in fact it made my life a misery. I would be constantly making decisions involving trying to avoid smoking; shall I go to the pub, if I do will I smoke, if I don't smoke will I enjoy it, If I stay at home I'll miss out but I definitely won't smoke etc. etc. and in the end IU always started smoking again; a few puffs and then a couple of fags in the evening, ten on a night out; you know the story. I even ...  Read the complete review

In an idle moment, I scanned through DooYoo on smoking. I thought maybe I could review a few brands, discuss the finer points of Marlboro over Silk Cut and look for ideas on getting the smell out of my clothes. I then read the two opinions on this book. 'It's easy, it works'. Hmm, well, I decided ti was worth adding to my next Amazon order, and getting the book. And, two days in, I can report it's working. What Allen Carr does is to make you think about smoking. Why do you really smoke? Why do you really try and kill yourself? Do you need cigarettes? Comprehensively he looks at the problem, the addiction (not a habit, an addiction) that ...  Read the complete review
