In the Observer today, Elle Hunt reveals the transformative power of the Allen Carr’s Easyway method to overcome nicotine dependency, including vaping addiction.

The original book “The Easyway to Stop Smoking” was written 40 years ago by Allen Carr after he had quit smoking successfully after a 33-year-long, 100-a-day smoking dependency. The classic edition of the book became and remains a best seller around the world.

Elle was caught in the grip of a vaping addiction that started off as a curiosity with friends’ vaping gadgets, however as time progressed, the initial fascination of vaping began to fade, leaving her with an addiction she could not overcome. Her dependence on vaping began to interfere with her social interactions and weigh on her budget as well.

Making multiple attempts to quit all ended up without success until an unexpected encounter with a taxi driver introduced her to Allen Carr’s method. Reading Allen Carr’s book on overcoming vaping addiction, she describes the process as ‘childishly gleeful.’

Allen Carr’s method changes how you think about addiction without the need for drugs or substitutes. Over a very short time, Elle observed a notable change in her cravings. After four evenings of reading she finished the book, and woke up the next day with no desire to reach for her vape. This behaviour continued, and she was surprised but elated at her newfound freedom from vaping.

A new fully updated version of the book called “The Easyway to Quit Smoking” has also become an international bestseller.

Since 1985, the method has grown to help quit vaping, drinking, gambling, drugs, to enjoy better sleep, to enjoy exercising and soon to help with Anxiety, helping over 50 million people in over 45 countries.
