    This book really works! You are urged to smoke while reading the entire (small) book, you have nothing to lose! Some of it isn't even stuff you haven't heard before, there is just something about how it all comes together and makes you go AH! Alot! It makes sense and it really works if you let it! I quit 1 yr 1 mo ago after more than 25 yrs of smoking & I will never go back now. I am indebted to Allen Carr..best wishes to you on your new journey!

    REALLY WORKS!

    Troy Miles

    2 years ago

    This book is fantastic! I smoked for years and was introduced to this material by someone who had never smoked. He claimed that reading this book will make me a non-smoker. I laughed, but thought it's worth a shot (to prove him wrong). It worked! It's amazing, borderline magic! If you want to quit, THIS is the answer, it's only $20, and best of all... IT WORKS! You have nothing to lose, and (if you can believe this) YOU CONTINUE TO SMOKE WHILE YOU READ IT! This is a ZERO risk way to go, and it DOES work!

    Smoker Freed From Slavery

    kevin evans

    2 years ago

    Thanks to Allen Carr I am free After 19 years of being a slave to a nicotine drug addiction. Smoking cigarettes ruled my life, and sucked the joy out of anything that controlled where and when I could smoke. I have spent thousands on smoking sensation products, and pills. Only to return to smoking. Knowledge is power and this book will set you free! KJEVANZ

    It really does work!

    Scott Paterson

    2 years ago

    I smoked for about 25 years. I tried cold turkey, the patch, and the gum more times than I can remember and nothing had any lasting effect on me. The lure of the addiction always brought me back within months.

    I have now been smoke-free for 18 months, thanks to this book. I have zero cravings, even when I'm around smokers. My wife continued to smoke for a year after I quit and finished reading this book in March. She has been smoke-free since.

    Read this book with an open mind and you will regain your freedom.

    Unbelievable!

    I wouldn't have believed it possible but it worked. It is easy to quit smoking with this book. I had tried everything, the patch, gum etc....and I actually quit cold turkey without any problem. It's such a great feeling. Thanks to Allen Carr because I'm feeling better, look better and I'm much healthier.

    I recommend this to all the people out there that want to quit but think they can't.

    I was half way through the book and couldn't wait to get to the end so that I could quit smoking. You aren't supposed to stop until you are done reading the whole thing. I thought I was hopeless and weak 'cause I would quit and then start again, even after months of not smoking. Now I am completely free and don't miss it at all! I'm SO thrilled! I tell everyone about this book!

    WORKED

    Heather Austin

    2 years ago

    I bought this book for a 42 year old man who had been smoking since he was 15 years old. It was recommended by Jillian Michaels so I thought it might be worth looking into.

    He read the book, picked a quit date, and has not smoked since. It has been over 5 months now and I believe he's done for good now.
    I recommend this to all smokers who want a no nonsense approach to quitting.

    Read it if you are a smoker, or buy it for someone you care about.

    Over three months ago, I read Allen Carr's Easy Way to Quit Smoking for Women. I haven't smoked since. I am now a non smoker and had smoked for over 30 years. Try it, what have you got to loose.

    I finally did it

    Cathy Gustavsen

    3 years ago

    Two weeks ago I received EasyWay and was also skeptical, but quit at the end of the book and feel great. I have smoked for approximately 40 years (quitting here and there only to start again). You might feel an odd pang but you think of the book and actually the thought of a cigarette disgusts you. All doctors should be referring this to their patients who want to quit instead of prolonging it with nicotine gums and patches. You can do it.

    Totally, totally works

    Dawson Bechtel

    3 years ago

    A guy in my office quit. He said it was this book. I borrowed it. (I was scared.) I read a tiny little chapter each day on the subway home from work, while continuing to smoke, By the time I finished the book, I quit. Sounds crazy (I thought it was), but I have never looked back since. This book is without a doubt the most instantly rewarding thing I have ever bought or read. You can do it too!!!!

    Furthermore, I quit with half a pack of cigarettes in my drawer! How many of you smokers reading this can imagine doing that? I bet most would discount what I am saying as 'well he never was addicted then'.. wrong! Super addicted like you. The cigarettes sat in my drawer for 3 months before I threw them out. It never bothered me. I never thought of reaching for them once. I didn't WANT one. Keep your cigarettes around as well. Prove to yourself that you just don't want them anymore. It's amazing how easy it is to quit when you don't have to use willpower.

    This Book ROCKS!

    Nat the Cat

    3 years ago

    After 22 years of chronic use, I was terrified to stop smoking. Gaining weight, being stressed, losing something that made me "cool" (or so I thought) were only some of the many fears surrounding the dreadful undertaking. Allen Carr's book did wonders helping that monkey off my back. I've not only stopped, I haven't gained a pound, I'm relaxed and... nothing can be cooler than being FREE!

    Great book!

    Kenneth Kuiper

    It's been a year since I quit smoking and I know I'll never start again. In fact, as time goes by, I find it harder and harder to be around smokers. Not because I'm craving it, just because I'm finding it more and more disgusting and difficult to breath around smokers. It's a good feeling to know that you'll never be addicted to smoking again, whereas any other method leaves you guessing as to when you are going to start again.

    Fantastic Book

    Melissa Beaton

    4 years ago

    I finished this book 3 weeks ago and have not smoked or even had the desire to smoke since! It's absolutely amazing. I never thought I'd be able to quit. I was always using my stressful life as an excuse and now that I have quit smoking my life is so much LESS stressful. I have recommended this book to many of the smokers i know and am anxiously waiting to see if it works for them!!! Had I known it would be this easy i would have done it years ago..

    Jay Gayne

    Read the book & quit 18 months ago. I actually liked smoking, but after reading this book can say without a doubt that I will never smoke again. he doesn't use scare tactics he uses common sense & changes the way you "think" about smoking.

    I quit smoking about 7 years ago and this book was my inspiration. I had to read it twice though, but it was definitely a bigger help than other stop smoking aids.

    Lesley Sutton

    Three years ago I had my last cigarette on a Sunday night, put the patch on Monday morning, found this book Monday lunchtime and by Wednesday was both cigarette and patch free. I too 'liked' smoking and the stress relief I thought it gave me, but this book diminished the act and made it pointless. Worth a read even if you don't believe the written word can help you kick an addiction as powerful as smoking.

    Awesome

    Crystal Lilbourne

    I was a smoker for 18 years and thought I enjoyed it until I read this book. I had tried quitting using several different methods but nothing worked. Believe me, it took me a long time to read this book because I was afraid to get to the end and actually stop smoking. But by the time I finished it I was ready to flush a pack of cigarettes down the toilet. I quit 4 1/2 years ago and have never looked back. Have recommended it to several friends!

    It was Ellen DeGeneres' endorsement that got me to read it with a slightly more open mind: "Everybody who reads this book stops and I stopped."

    Congratulations to all of you who read it :)

    This book was amazing. About two years ago, a friend recommended this book. She had read it and stopped. I wasn't ready to quit, so I didn't read it (I was afraid it might actually work).

    About a month ago, I decided to try quitting for a number of various reasons. I was ready to go with a whole stop plan based on things we've all heard..drink lots of water, avoid temptation, keep your mouth and hands busy, get gum, etc. The plan was to smoke my last one on my birthday.

    Then I remembered this book. So I went out bought it, and started reading. I finished it in less than a week, and smoked my last one five days before my birthday. The best birthday gift I ever got.

    I didn't need any of the stuff I was prepared to use, just in case. It was by far the easiest thing I've ever done. My husband smokes, but it doesn't bother me and in the past two weeks I have not once wanted to light up.

    Now, I have to get my hands on a copy of EasyWeigh to Lose Weight / No More Diets and see if that one works just as well. I had always planned on losing weight first and then thinking about quitting smoking (my doctor actually recommended that to me also) since I thought that would be easier. This way has proven to be much easier. I'm already feeling more energetic and more motivated to get rid of all of this excess weight because I am now a non-smoker and love it.

    You have to read this book....visit his website for much more helpful information and hundreds of people's feedback. This method is the only method that works!

    This book was amazing. Many many attempts have been made to quit before. This time it is not about giving up something. I read this book and immediately bought 4 other copies for family and friends to share. Four out of the first five people I know who read this book quit smoking immediately and are all excited about it and all feel great ~ some of whom were not even looking to quit in the short-term.

    This is worth the read. You owe it to yourself!
