There’s a reason we are #1 in Reading
Allen Carr’s Easyway method has been clinically proven in two randomised controlled trials. The results show it to be as good as, if not better than the UK’s gold standard NHS 1-1 Stop Smoking Service1 and almost twice as effective as the Irish Governments Quit.ie service2 . It does not require the use of any drugs or nicotine products.
Over the last 30 years Allen Carr’s Easyway has helped an estimated 50 million people in over 50 countries worldwide to be free.
We can help you too.

Stop smoking & vaping FAQs
Do you have questions about stopping smoking, our method or our programmes? Then get in touch or visit our FAQ’s section for more information
Featured question 1:
“Is vaping safer than smoking and is it harmful or bad for you?”
It is likely that vaping is safer than smoking but it is definitely harmful to you and definitely bad for you. Some people have compared vaping instead of smoking as being like falling from the 10th floor of a building rather than the 20th floor. There is integrity to this comparison although it’s not a simple consideration.
Featured question 4:
“What is the difference between your stop smoking and stop vaping programmes?”

“What’s not to love about working around Reading? For shopping I like nipping to The Oracle Shopping Centre but if I’ve got time to grab a bite to eat I love The Bakery House Lebanese Restaurant in London Street.
I’ve still got places on my list of things to see – such as Basildon Park the Georgian stately home and Dinton Pastures Country Park.
I love the theatre and there’s always something interesting showing at The Hexagon”
