The whole point is to continue doing the things you enjoy, just without smoking. <\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to avoid being around friends who smoke. If you\u2019re offered a cigarette simply say, \u201cNo thank you\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>There is no need to be jealous of smokers. Remember, they aren\u2019t smokers by choice. <\/p>\n<p>They can\u2019t enjoy themselves or feel comfortable for more than an hour without relieving the withdrawal symptoms created by the previous smoked cigarette. <\/p>\n<p>They are addicted and remember, smoking provides no benefits.  The truth is every smoker would rather be a non-smoker. <\/p>\n<p>If you start explaining to smokers that cigarettes provide no benefits etc. you may end up arguing so better to simply avoid it. <\/p>\n<p>Just say you quit smoking with a great method that made it easy &#8211; without going any further. <\/p>\n<p>The moment they see you continuing to enjoy life without cigarettes it will awaken in them the desire to free themselves from this awful dependency. <\/p>\n<p>If they ask what method you use \u2013 just tell them Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway.<\/p>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\t<script
