Choose your Easyway to Stop Smoking Programme or Seminar – Allen Carr
We have a number of programmes which will enable you to stop smoking easily, painlessly and without the need for willpower.
It’s been described as ‘a real smoker’s way to quit’. You carry on smoking until you’re ready to stub out your final cigarette. Easyway doesn’t focus on the downsides of smoking – smokers know all about those already. Instead the method answers the question ‘What’s so great about being a smoker?’ Understanding that is the key to being set free.
There’s a reason we are #1 in the world
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.
We partner with the insurance and investment provider that rewards you for healthy habits. When you join Vitality, you can attend one Allen Carr programme, as part of your plan, at any one of our centres around the UK or online.

Don’t just take our word for it
Here are some clients and some celebrities with their thoughts on Allen Carr’s Easyway to stop smoking method.
I started smoking at 11 years of age. Allen Carr helped me to understand how easy is to stop smoking and be happy as a non smoker, without fear of becoming a miserable sad person. Without it I wouldn’t have stopped, I was too scared of leaving my life as a smoker.
I went to the seminar one morning with a pack of cigarettes and came out without but with a huge smile of satisfaction and finally free. I started eating healthier and enrolled a local gym. I lost already a stone and feel so strong and healthy. Before I couldn’t run 50 yards, now I run 10k every Sunday, no sign of short breath.
I feel I am a free person finally and again this will be for the rest of my life. *

I had been a hardcore smoker having 15 cigarettes a day. I attended an Allen Carr Seminar free through a work scheme with Vitality Health Care, not because I didn’t enjoy smoking, more because it got to a point where I couldn’t afford £10 per day on a packet of fags.
The way the seminar is structured is very clever and shows you why cigarettes are not everything we make them out to be, it shows you they are the complete opposite. I came out of that seminar and I will be grateful everyday as I haven’t touched a cigarette since.
I feel like I have never smoked. I would highly recommend it to anyone who struggles to stop and wants to.*

I started smoking as a youngster in the Army – it seemed ‘The thing to do’ talk about peer pressure!! I’d tried many methods of stopping since but none worked.
I reached the age of 50 and thought I needed to seriously do something about stopping booked a seminar. I have not had a cigarette in 9 years! I walked out of the seminar and, have never looked back, never wanted or thought about having a cigarette since that day and I certainly haven’t ever missed them!! I was sceptical went I went in but convinced when I came out!
I would heartily recommend the program and if you want to stop – go on you’ve nothing to lose and everything to gain.*

Smoking was the single most important thing in my life – or at least that’s what I thought. I spent my entire life waiting for my next cigarette break. Making sure that I had enough cigarettes to last me until my next opportunity to get to a shop.
Initially the seminar sounded too good to be true. I didn’t want to waste my money on something that probably wouldn’t work for me. I was very sceptical. We were told to continue smoking as normal before the course and even throughout the seminar there were breaks for cigarettes – how could this possibly work?
Leaving the centre I was still unsure. I didn’t feel like I wanted to have a cigarette – but I wasn’t sure whether this feeling would last. It did.
It’s now been over a year and I cannot believe it. My life has changed in a really positive way. If you are considering doing a seminar – stop hesitating! Book it! You will not regret it! It will change your life for the better.*

I was on a pack a day for years and really saw cigarettes as old friends who were there no matter what – good times, bad times, boring times, best times, any time. Also i really felt like smoking was the great equaliser, if you smoke and your boss’s boss’s boss smokes, if you’re out there at the same time you can bet you’ll strike up a conversation that wouldn’t otherwise be possible. All of that was total bullsh!t.
I couldn’t really see a way to stop and knowing the health risks did nothing to stop me for years. I guess I both didn’t want to smoke anymore but also really wanted to smoke for ever. Go to Alan Carr – it works. I did have a relapse, about two years later, but all I had to do was sit down and mentally remember the day i spent pushing back the curtain of false logic and self-imposed lies and it was enough to stop me cold, this time forever. I have not smoked for 3 years and will never ever smoke again.
It now seems alien to me as a thing and the best thing? I DON’T MISS IT. Ever, No matter how many coffees, not matter how many drinks, no matter how stressed, no matter which old friends are smoking. It’s -amazing-, do it for yourself, and if you want to save someone from this, spend the money and buy them this seminar. It’s AMAZING.*
