Synopsis
This is the revolutionary international bestseller that will stop you smoking - for good. 'If you follow my instructions you will be a happy non-smoker for the rest of your life.' That's a strong claim from Allen Carr, but as the world's leading and most successful quit smoking expert, Allen was right to boast! Reading this book is all you need to give up smoking. You can even smoke while you read. There are no scare tactics, you will not gain weight and stopping will not feel like deprivation. If you want to kick the habit then go for it. Allen Carr has helped millions of people become happy non-smokers. His unique method removes your psychological dependence on cigarettes and literally sets you free. Accept no substitute. Five million people can't be wrong.

"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

Thank you Allen and RIP
What can I say, I was a 30 a day man for 30 years read this book and have not touched a cig for 10 weeks now. I have the odd craving but they are easy to overcome. My advise is to buy it, read it and add a few years to your life.

Ignore those people who were epic fail, if you GET it, this works
Like, really. If you want to feel optimistic about being a non-smoker rather than dreading the rest of your life without your little poisonous crutch, then buy this book.

Some reviewers have asserted that Carr is wrong to say that smokers don't really enjoy it. But he isn't. I used to call smoking my "toxic panacea" and I could rhapsodise about the physical and mental joys of smoking and genuinely mean it.

Then I read this book.

My life will never be the same again, because I am free. Normal "giving up smoking" methods are doomed to failure whereas if you understand what Carr is saying, you are going to succeed, and walk away from your prison with joy.

Okay so he isn't the greatest writer in the world and at times I found his style a bit patronizing, but they would be the crappest excuses not to stop smoking ever.

Do try this book if you want to be free of smoking.

The most worthwhile book i have ever read!
I have tried to give up smoking tens of times using patches, willpower, gum etc and nothing ever worked until I read this book. My husband had read it first, given up and hadn't craved a cigarette since. I thought "This can't be true I must give it a try".

It took me a month to read the book, a chapter here a chapter there. I was scared to finish the book because i knew i would have to stop smoking (you can still smoke whilst reading the book)and i wasn't sure that i could do it. Everything Allen Carr was telling me i already knew, how was it going to work? But when i finished it somehow someway Allen Carr had undone all the years of brainwashing that i had done to myself about how i needed a cigarette and i really didn't want one. Infact i knew that i wouldn't want one ever again.

I now feel completely free and clean. I wish i had known about this years ago.
