Tracey said,
I gave up on 21 Jan 2008 after my third clinic visit (I am stubborn but persistent!).
I will never smoke again, although I dream I still smoke every night. I am so glad when I wake up and realise it was just a dream. I smoked for so long my brain is just accustomed to seeing me that way.
Allen Carr’s Easyway has saved so many lives and mine is one of them. Try it and you can’t lose anything, just gain freedom!

I attended easy way to stop smoking last month led by Emma.
I thought I was 1 of the ‘special’ ones who this course would not work for. I couldn’t imagine life without cigarettes but knew that was what I wanted. I am due to get married in September and my partner was desperate for me to stop smoking. I didn’t want to be a fag ash bride. I had been nervous about the 10 hour flight to Cuba on our honeymoon without a fag. My partner told me she felt second best to cigarettes.
My life had been a struggle before and I had experienced many years of mental illness believing cigarettes were my friends who got me through the hard times.
Being able to stop smoking has meant we now have everything we’ve ever asked for.
We are happy beyond belief and are looking forward to an amazing smoke free life together.
I have not had a cigarette for over a month and LOVE being a non-smoker.
I’m from Chelmsford and went to the Allen Carr course in Maidstone.

All I can say is thankyou for freeing me of cigarettes, freeing me of that panic when I was down to my last one or two, and making my purse so much healthier.
Matthew A. Colella said,
Hello, my name is Matthew and I am…was addicted to nicotine. I was born and raised in Toronto, Canada. I just celebrated my 30th on June 19. For my birthday gift to myself I quit smoking.
Today is July 17th
I just put out my last cigarette about 45 minutes ago. I said out loud (and to the shock of my neighbor’s dog) that “THANK GOD I AM A NON-SMOKER AND WILL REMAIN SO FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE”. Shortly after the dog stopped barking I ran in the house and took a hot shower, shaved and brushed my teeth. I shredded the 19 cigarettes I had left in my pack and put all my lighters, (keepsake Zippo included) ashtrays and my stupid nicotine inhalator in the trash compactor (I will send Allen the repair bill). I have an overwhelming sense of success and freedom. I don’t know why this time is different. Maybe because I know there won’t be a next time. This is it. I am a non-smoker. I am crying…right now, like seeing the sun for the first time. I don’t feel stress, panic, loss or pain. I feel free.
I will say one thing; What really helped me was the nicotine inhalator…it helped me see the truth about my addiction. Why was I so embarrassed to get my fix with a foolish looking plastic tube? Because I was ashamed of my addiction.
I pity my old smoking self for using that dumb device.
But I digress.
Thank you Allen and everyone who made The Easy Way truly the easy way.
Truly,
Matthew
Sue said,
Your clinic kindly sent me a book on Fear of Flying and I didn’t have chance before I went to thank you, I have to say I was amazed I was perfectly fine it was like getting on a train! I cannot get my head round totally how it all works from just reading a book maybe I am more receptive for being to the clinic beforehand with you and I am also back totally on tack with that since I spoke to you, but I am really enthralled by it all Alan Carr must have been an amazing man.
Andrea USA said,
I have read The Easy way to Stop Smoking almost 3 months ago and it changed my life. I smoked for 10 years and now I can’t believe that I ever did. I really recommend it to anyone I can. My mother-in-law has been smoking for at least 35 years and does not know how to stop. The problem is she can only read in Macedonian. Is Allen Carr’s book written in this language? If so, where can I purchase it? Thank you so much! I truly feel blessed to have found this book and if it could help my mother in law it would be amazing.
Bless you hearts,
Andrea

Jenna Condie said,
Today is Day 6 of my new life as a non-smoker and I have never been more happier and proud of myself. I’m 25 and was smoking 20 a day and hating every minute of it, thinking I was never going to be able to get rid of the cigarettes. I read Allen’s book on holiday, came home and smoked my final cigarette. Quitting smoking isn’t easy, but this method is definitely the easiest way. I can’t believe I have stopped smoking with no patches, no gum, no nothing but determination and knowledge – knowledge provided by the book, and the deep down belief that I will never ever smoke again. Thank you!!!! As a psychology postgraduate student, I can not believe that this method has not been adopted by the national health service, especially in these penny pinching times!
Stephanie Henry said,
I’ve had cigarettes as a part of my life for longer than i can remember, (due to my parents being smokers) but not any more!!! A friend told me about this book and had it but wasn’t reading it, she doesn’t believe in this sort of thing. I borrowed it and I quit counting how long it’s been since I smoked last! This book really does work, and I will keep telling everyone I know! Thank You Allen Carr!!!
Wendy Kingston said,
I had smoked approx 20 a day for nearly 20 years. I have previously read Allen Carr’s book and managed to quit for 3 months but for some reason I started smoking again.
In April 2009 I was sick of being a smoker/addict and decided to go on the 5 hour clinic in Manchester.
When I walked out of that clinic, I have to admit I wasn’t certain that I could stick to it and/or that it would be easy.
As the days went on I realised that everything Rob has taught us had sunk in and thanks to that I didn’t even suffer one single craving! Yes, I thought about cigarettes a lot but I knew I didn’t want one.
That date (4th April 2009) seems so long ago now but it will never be forgotted – it was the start of my new, nicotine free life.
Thanks to Easyway, I know I’ll never be a smoker again – I’m free!
Louise Hill said,
I have just read stop smoking now , after many attempts in the past to quit several mentioned in this book, I can honestly say I am free of the addiction as from today i am a non smoker and proud of it. this book will be on my list of christmas presents I will be sending to family & friends. Thank you for writing it and thanks to my hygenist who told me about it.
Paul said,
Just got to say that i have been smoking since 16 and i am now 37 i have quit for 5 years (so i thought), but i was only smoking fridays why what a fool i was, soon back on them and even more a day than i was . reading this book has just put that thing missing in my attempts i have now not had a smoke and dont miss it at all for 8 days and have ran 5 times now.I look at other smokers and laugh at myself, and when ime with friends they cant believe that i have just stopped like that, and i speak to them and the excuses they come out with makes my day as Allen has got that to a tee. So I just thought I would like him to no that he has succeeded in another miserable person to be a happy one and is getting better every day Big Big thank you Allen carr for giving my life back. You’re an inspiration

Raj said,
Dear Sir
I had been a heavy smoker since 1967. And inspite of a heart attack in
1982 & a bypass in 1988, I hadent been ablel to give up smoking for 3 hours inspite of attending several clinics & reading several books on the subject.
Untill recently when I picked up stop smoking now an easy way by Allen Carr from a book shop in Bombay india.
Now I have ordered several of your books to give them to relatives & friends who are in the smokers trap.
Congratulations on publishing this wonderful book! The insight in to the smokers mind is tremendous

Hi Allen,
I am a 20 year old female NON-SMOKER!
Previous to reading your book I had been smoking for only 2 years but I have hated it from day one.
You are so right about everything you have mentioned in your book.
I didn’t smoke because I enjoyed it but because every single one of my friends smoked at the time. Every single one of them.
Then of course I fell into that invisible trap.
My partner bought your book for me one Christmas after listening to me moaning every day how I hated being unfit and that I was constantly ill. It never occurred to me that it was smoking doing all the little things (headaches, dizziness, asthma etc). All I ever heard was that it caused cancer and you were going to die a horrible death. The thing is I never feared death so the shock campaigns had no effect on me. What made me decide to read your book was my fear of NOT LIVING.
I’m sure you can appreciate the difference between these two fears. After finishing your book I no longer live in fear.
Thank you.
I am in awe of your work for the people of this world and am grateful you have found a path that now, I can see and I can walk down with confidence.
Once again I thank you for your amazing work.

i would just like to say a massive thank you to mr.allen carr. i am only sixteen and live in a small town called dumfries. i have been smoking for six years , which includes daily smoking of marajuana. my life changed for the worse over these past years and now i see why i was so unhappy. everything is now looking up, you have given me a different view on life like never before. it would have been very hard without the help of your books, i doubt i would have made it out the trap. my mum has been reading your books aswel and she has now stopped smoking after nearly 30 years. thank you so much, you are doing a great thing.
yours faithfully

Richard Whittaker said,
I managed to stop smoking in 2005 thanks to an Allen Carr seminar and I haven’t looked back since.
It really changed my perspective on things and gave me the power to turn difficult tasks on their head and look at them from a different angle.
Now I can’t understand why I ever picked up a cigarette.

David Blair said,
I was able to find Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking Book as a 5 CD audio box set. I would listen during my commute.
It worked. I am 2 months into my new smoke-free life and there’s no turning back! FREEDOM!!!

Sarah R. said,
I read the EASYWAY and went from a pack of cigarettes a day to none! After 17 years I am free! Thank you!
Dan said,
I was a smoker for 17yrs.
Now I’m free of it after reading the book.
It’s been over 18months and the confidence I got from realizing I don’t need to smoke and/or beat myself up about it has helped me improve other areas of my life.
I’ve achieved things I’m certain I wouldn’t have even tried under that cloud of gloom.
Cheers Allen.
Juris said,
I am 22 years old and I was smoking for ~7 years and now after reading the book I am a non smoker for +8 months already. No difficulty, not nothing…
Peter said,
Hi I stopped using easyway and I’m sorry Allen isn’t alive for me to thank personally. The book is a masterpiece and i know i will stay stopped because of it. Many thanks Peter, Glasgow
alex said,
After smoking for 25 years (now 42 yrs old) and upteen attempts to stop and failed, i downloaded the iphone App “Allen Carr’s Easyway to quit smoking”….. oh my god!!!! unbelievable, dont ever want another cig! Love the way he makes you realise that you can enjoy life and life will be better (instead of all the people than constantly tell you how bad it is on tv etc), really funny aswell, you can relate to everything (like dropping your fag end between your seat in the car – bet everyone has done that!). You have just got to think that cigarettes dont exist, if they dont exist then how can you smoke one etc etc. If you smoke and want to stop you must get this book or download the app it will be BEST THING YOU HAVE EVER DONE, HONESTLY IT WORKS.
MDP said,
Allen, I know you went to Heavens for helping so many people get rid of the grass monster.
I am one of them. I just checked in to your site to say THANKS! Ive been 3 months smoke free, and – although Ive gained about 5 kilos in weight – it feels f****** great!!!
God bless you, Allen, you’re the only thing that worked for me.
PS – am 30, been a smoker for 10 years, at 40 cigs a day in the last smoking period
Steve Biscoe said,
Hi, My name is Steve I am a 32yr old living in Australia. I read EasyWay about three years ago and like an idiot tried that fateful one“cigarette after one year of being free. This led me to smoke for another few years, until recently when I started to read Allen’s OnlyWay to Stop Smoking. I am one week without smoking and loving every minute!
I can honestly say that I owe my life to Allen Carr. He has helped me and thousands of others realise that it is easy and enjoyable to stop smoking. From the bottom of my heart Thank you Allen! I will spend the rest of my life promoting your method, You deserve the Nobel Prize! Wherever you are now, thank you and Rest in Peace.
Scott said,
I was told about this book by a friend, didn’t believe a word of it, and even the birth of my child couldn’t stop me smoking.
I read the book 18 months ago and haven’t had a cigarette since. Simply incredible. It wasn’t even hard?
Lent the book to a hard smoking friend, they read it 4 months ago – stopped instantly.
I don’t understand it. But I love it.
Thanks Allen, sincerely.

Felix Kessel said,
When I decided to stop smoking I really wanted to get to the point that smoking became as irrelevant to me as if I’d never picked up that first cigarette.
It’s been over 5 years since I read the book and stopped and I’m essentially there.
Without Allen Carr’s Easyway this amazing achievement would not have been possible.
Thank You.
Julia said,
Allen Carr changed my life!
Halfway through the book I realised that I was done with it, I was already a non-smoker!
Now, 9 months after I quit, I feel so much better and healthier.
I never thought that a book could make me quit smoking. I was one of them who said, I can never quit, I am an addictive person, I like smoking and so on!
But now I am a non-smoker! It´s just wonderfull!
Jordan said,
hi im jordan im 22 years old and have been smoking since the age of about 13/14 i have recently just give up with a massive, massive thanks to the easyway book. My mother first intorduced me to the book about a month ago and at first i thought “yeh ok how can a book stop me if nothing else has worked before” but now its been 3 weeks i have been out to the pub at weekends and not even been tempted to have the quick 1 fag or puff really looking forward to spending the rest of my life smoke free and now my 2 boys 4 year old wont have to suffer either. Thanks Allen your book is great and would reccomend it to anyone or even as an educational book in schools.

With an asthma inhalor in one hand and a roll up in the other, i thought i was doomed to smoke for the rest of my life. After trying so hard to “give up”, i was advised to try Easyway. It has been a year since my last cigarette and i have not looked back. The beauty about this method is that ANYBODY can do it.
Al Thomas said,
Have now quit the dreaded weed for 17 months thanks to reading Quit smoking for good by Allen Carr.Having previously tried every other method and miserably failed I am very grateful for what was an easy way to quit not having thought about smoking for the past 17 months. My son was diagnosed with a chronic illness at a young age and the least I could do was to quit my 30 per day habit which I had for almost 30 years. Thank you for the freedom.
David said,
Free from smoking for two years!
Easy!
Thanks to Allen Carr’s clinic in Raynes Park, London.
Now I’m rooting for Adam. He’s my latest friend to take the course.

Scott said,
RIP Allen.
There are many, many people who owe you huge thanks.
My mother stopped after attending one of Allen’s clinics (5 years ago!) and I’ve read Allen’s book and stopped. (I was a 20 year smoker) Many of my friends have also stopped, thanks to Allen.
If you are reading this and thinking about getting the book/attending a session, JUST DO IT!!! IT WORKS!

Shane said,
Hi Allen
Firstly I would like to congratulate you on your efforts in getting the snowball rolling towards an avalanche.
I first read your book Easyway 3 years ago & stopped smoking for 6 months then for no other reason than stupidity I started again, blaming my wife as she still to this day refuses to stop. I have now read your book for the 2nd time which has re-affirmed me as an ex-smoker. I only wish I could persuade my wife to read the book!!!
Many thanks
Kind regards
Shane

This October 2010 I have been free of cigarettes for 4 years, thanks to Allen Carr’s easyway to Stop Smoking. I had smoked for over 20 years and to stop was such a releive, my father died of Lung Cancer, he was a smoker! Thank you, worth every penny I paid for the days clinic. I would highly recommend anyone trying to give up to go this route, beleive me I tried all others without success.
Marcin said,
Hello,
I’d like to share with people from all the world with my experience about smoking. I’ve been smoking for 13 years, and always quiting smoking was a big problem for me. One day my friend told me about Allen Carr book. I started reading…and I stopped smoking!!!! Incredible, but it works, really.
Now I’m feeling free, I’ve got bigger power to live, and I hope that will last forever – LIFE WITHOUT SMOKING HAS A BETTER TASTE!
Best regards to all smokers and non-smokers!

David said,
I have never written an internet comment before, but I feel I must for the first time, because:
I am FREE!!!! I listened to The Easy Way on my IPhone, instead of watching t.v. for about 2 or 3 nights. As each chapter went on and on, I wanted to smoke less and less. At the end of the audiobook, I almost had to force myself to smoke my FINAL cigarette. This was actually part of the process. The FINAL SMOKE. And then I was done: for ever. It has been 90 days now that I have been normal. Some call it being “smoke free”, or a “non-smoker”, but those terms don’t sit well with me. Not smoking is “normal” nothing else, nothing special, nothing missing. If I can give one piece of advice, it would be that you are “FREE” from the addiction after day 1. Their is no “trying to quit” or “quitting”, once you decide to be free (normal again) and squish the last, nasty “butt” into the tray, you truly are free. This method will let you realize that you don’t want to smoke, but the addiction and daily habits remind you that you used to want to smoke…THAT IS IT. No withdrawls, just memories of smoking (like starting the car and lighting up). They dissipate day by day. BUT REMEMBER: YOU ARE A “NON-SMOKER” THE DAY YOU QUIT AND DECIDE YOU WILL NOT SMOKE AGAIN.
The weird thing is, that writing this, has made me feel disgusting, only simply for writing the words: “smoke”, “smoker”, and especially “cigarette”. I am so happy to be normal, and if you are reading this, and you are wanting to overcome your addiction, you can, it is truly EASY!! Listen or read The Easy Way as many times as you need to (usually only once will do) and smoke throughout. If you have gone this far, you have the want to stop and MR. CARR has reminded us how EASY it really is.
RIP To MR. CARR and many of my family and friends.
Thank You, and Lastly when you do overcome this addiction you will be empowered to do anything you desire. Your mind is a beautiful and very powerful thing.
David (Started smoking in Cincinnati, Ohio and currently Residing in Naples, Fl)
Allen said,
I watched the Allen Carr video two days ago and haven’t even been tempted to smoke since. I’d quit lots of times, but always started up again on a stressful day thinking that a cigarette would help me relax. Now that I know that its simply not true, I know I’ve quit for good this time. Thanks!! I’m currently serving in Afghanistan. The temptation to smoke is much greater here because almost everyone does it.
ciobanu diana said,
thank you,i read your book on friday and i quit smoking,thank you again…i am from romania and i tried many times to quit but this time is’ no regrets” thanks once again
Lawrence said,
Dear Allen Carr
Just to say I read your book at the start of June and something clicked.
I have managed to quit with very few withdrawal symptoms and I am enjoying being cigarette free after 20 years of addiction!
It IS easy!
So thank you very much.
I hope you get this message.
Thanks

Andrei said,
Hi there, I feel so good reading through your guys comments. Cassandra, I remember crying going through the pages myself. Next month it will be a year since this book has freed me from the disease. Congratulations to all of you. Thank you Allen
lesley Rowe said,
Hi. I put out my last cigarette yesterday. I began smoking at 15 and am now 41. I gave up in 1993 after reading the book but 6 months later fell into the trap again. Gave up a few times since through pregnancy, but always returned to it. My baby is now 4 and she deserves to have me around and as healthy as I be. I lied and cheated to be able to escape to have secret cigarettes, thinking that smoking away from my children was protecting them. Of course it protected them from the smoke,but I still stunk on my return and had missed all the fun in my absence.
No more of it. Today is harder than tomorrow and today has been a pleasure.
The line the the book which says it is like driving a new car. You may but the wipers on for a while instead of the indicators, but you soon learn new habits. This is so true and has been in my head all day if I have had a pang. I have made a vow never to fall into the trap again. Cannot believe it took from 1993 to 2010 to read the book again. All that time wasted. But I wont waste anymore time looking back.
I refuse to say I have given up smoking, because I have given up nothing, just reclaiming what is rightfully mine. No more stinky breath, embarrassing excuses to leave the room, hunts for chewing gum, lighters blah blah blah. I am free.
Thank you.
Cassandra said,
Hello there, My name is Cassandra Ketchell, I am from Townsville North Queensland Australia. I just wanted to let you know that I have just finished reading “ Allen Carrs Easy Way To Stop Smoking. I purchased the book about 4 months ago and have been avoiding reading it. Purely because I think I was scared of it.
I am only sorry that I waited so long to read it, I can honestly tell you that I cried in many parts of the book. It really made that light bulb go off in my head, I am a mother of 4 beautiful children ages, 21 , 14 , 11 , & 4. And I want to be able to see them grow up and be not only a grandmother, but a great grandmother aswell.
I am 36 years old and started smoking at the age of 13. Today I have become a non smoker, and I am finally free of that disgusting filthy weed.
Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I am so excited about the future, and cannot wait to start exercising & playing sport again. Something that I have avoided for a very long time because I was always out of breath and couldn’t go the distance.
Before I started smoking I was a junior champion at sports, and my best event was running. I always thought as a youngster that one day I would be at the games ( Commonwealth & Olympics ). But the poison took over,, my weight increased by 35kilos and I had been miserable nearly all my life. I now look forward to making exercise a part of my daily life. Once again Thank -You so much
Cassandra Ketchell Yippii !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m just so glad I am free from having to smoke.

keren mistry said,
I went to the allen carr clinic four months ago, in raynes park, and never thought it could happen to me, but i went with my best intentions. Well it was really easy, didnt have any withdrwals, just goes to show you, its mind over matter! Thank you so much x
Jodie said,
My brother read Allen Carrs easyway and inspired me to read it also as an easyway to stop smoking really appealed to me as it would most smokers! I read the book in 48 hours, as I neared the end I felt slightly apprehensive but also very positive and empowered and I smoked my last cigarette. That was 2 weeks ago and I can say with absolute certainty that I will never smoke again. I already have more energy and motivation and I know that as more time passes the benefits of not smoking will grow and grow. I am so happy and wish I had read the book years ago and not wasted so many years being drained by nicotine. The only thing I will say is that the first week for me was not very pleasent, I had virtually no desire to smoke but I had trouble sleeping and was emotional. This soon passed though you just have to take the highs and lows and believe me the highs far exceed the lows. Thank- you Allen Carr!
Neil Dawson said,
People ask “how long have you given up for?”
That question suggests there is something to give up.
I always say – “from the day i walked out of Allen Carr, i haven’t wanted one.” That was 10 years ago tomorrow.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Margaret said,
Hi a great big thankyou i attended the Exeter clinic 21st Nov 2009 and havn’t looked back, if i had known it was that easy i would have done it years ago.
I hope all who attended the same seminar have succeded.
