Well done for giving up, I hope your boyfriend has the same success! I am only a 3rd through the book and I must admit I am taking it very slow too, the fear element is pretty strong. However the more I read the more I can see the sense, it is a very clever psychology. I am still smoking (20 a day) but the urge already feels less and for now I ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

I have been trying to stop smoking for years. Every year I try to give up for my New Years resolution, but by January the 2nd I am always back on the cigarettes. I managed to give up for 2 days in the summer, but buckled on the third day as I completely went to pieces. I couldn't concentrate, I couldn't sit still and anyone who came near ...  Read the complete review

First of all allen carr has some very interesting views about smoking. One thing for sure about this book is the fact that it will get you thinking about smoking (and the sort of guy he is) in great depth. Some people think hes a gift from heaven and some people think he needs to be taught more about nicotine and the effect it has on the brain. I ...  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. ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

After unsuccessfully trying to quit via willpower, patches, hypnotherapy etc., I was really starting to despair. Then on a trip to my local Tesco whilst buying a new aid (nicotine chewing gum), the checkout assistant inquired if the gum was for me. "Yep" I informed her, somewhat embarrassed. "Oh, she said I've just quit, four ...  Read the complete review

Ever since I saw pictures of Geri Halliwell (amongst others) looking pensive reading self help books I always swore blind that I never ever read or need one. They couldn?t possibly work and if you actually want to do something then it?s the power of your own mind that will make you do something ? not some supposed Guru who?s writing from his ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

I had smoked from the age of 10. By the time I was 30 I smoked around 40 cigarrettes a day, no problem! I would rather have gone without a meal than without a fag. My last penny would be spent on cigarrettes. I went out with a non-smoker for a while and told him I would give up. But I didn't, although I tried to decieve him ...  Read the complete review

Allen Carr must be made Sir Allen in next years New Years Honours, this man is a genius - and no relation to me !! His series of books of advice on quitting smoking are the most life change thing you can read if you are a smoker who wants to give up the addiction. His technique is unique, no scare stories, no nicotine replacement (eg gum or ...  Read the complete review

Like some of the other smokers here I attended an Allen Carr seminar after seeing a "half-price" offer in my local newspaper. I agree that it is very enlightening and informative, however there are some drawbacks I feel should be mentioned. Firstly, it appears to be a franchise type of business - therefore it is pot luck on the quality ...  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 ...  Read the complete review

****SEE END OF OP FOR UPDATE**** My husband and I are both heavy smokers (i.e. 30+ a day each) so when we saw an advert in our local paper offering half price sessions at an Allen Carr seminar, we were interested. Add to that the cast-iron guarantee or your money back, and we decided to give it a go. It's not cheap - the ...  Read the complete review

Allen Carr's book "EasyWay to Stop Smoking" was the best thing to happen to me of late. I was a smoker of 20 a day for 15 years and after reading this book, am totally reformed and its been almost 2 months. The point here is it was really and completely painless! I've quit before and thought I'd lost my best friend! This ...  Read the complete review
