"The object of this book is to get you into the frame of mind in which, instead of the normal method of stopping whereby you start off with the feeling that you are climbing Mount Everest and spend the next few weeks craving a cigarette and envying other smokers, you start right away with a feeling of elation, as if you had been cured of a terrible disease."

Customer Reviews

There is no easy way.....
I gave up after reading this book but it wasn't easy. The book certainly helps you over come the physiological addition of smoking. It goes through all the smoker excuses: I smoke when I'm stressed, I can't enjoy a drink without a smoke, I'll get fat if I stop etc etc. It was Allen's myth busting that helped me but you have to want to give up in the first place, I have a number of friends who gave up and then started again.

I am very very happy I gave up,it will be 3 years in September.

Good luck!

Kick your cigarettes into touch
I feel it's about time I reviewed this book. I've waited because I read it roughly one and a half years ago, and wanted to prove to myself that it truly does work. I think it's safe to say that it does! I've not smoked a single cigarette since I read the final chapter and put out my final cigarette. The change in my attitude was extraordinary. Before, when stubbing out a cigarette, I would already be missing it like an old friend, and looking forward to the next one. But when I stubbed out that final cig, it was with absolute glee! I felt totally in control, happy and empowered by decision. Thanks to Allen Carr, I see cigarettes for what they are. You'll look at smokers with pity, not envy. The crazy thing is, what he says in the book, you already know. But somehow, he removes the blinkers. An amazing book.

HIghly recommended to all smokers
I started reading this book and could barely put it down. Without actually telling me anything I didn't already know, Allen Carr removed my desire to smoke altogether. After failing MISERABLY with the willpower method I was astonished to find just how easy it can be to stop smoking.

It has been three weeks and I haven't touched a cigarette and fully believe I never will again.

If you want to stop smoking, try this book...it really lives up to its name.
