      Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway, who are endorsed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) and continue to work with them on their\u00a0Commit to Quit Campaign<\/a>\u00a0in more than a dozen countries worldwide, is fully supportive of the newly released World Health Organisation (WHO) report on electronic nicotine delivery systems, such as e-cigarettes. The report finds that\u00a0children who vape<\/a>\u00a0and use these products are more than twice as likely to use tobacco products in the future. As such, both WHO and Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway recommend tighter regulations to quit non-smokers from starting to use them, to prevent renormalisation of smoking in the community and to protect future generations.<\/p>\n

      For the first time, the WHO report on The Global Tobacco Epidemic, presents new data on electronic nicotine delivery systems, such as \u2018e-cigarettes\u2019. These products are often marketed to children and adolescents by the tobacco and related industries that manufacture them, using appealing flavours and misleading claims about the products.<\/p>\n

      Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway,\u00a0the world\u2019s most successful quit smoking method<\/a>, is available in 50 countries and has already helped more than 50 million smokers worldwide over it\u2019s 35-year history.\u00a0 Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway is a clinically proven completely drug-free form of talking therapy with two Randomised controlled Trials (RCTs). The organsiation has worked closely with WHO in the past, to support efforts to reduce tobacco addiction.<\/p>\n

      Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway Addiction Centres already work with a number of forward-thinking, progressive Local Health Authorities in the UK and are in advanced discussions with the NHS and wider health organisations. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has confirmed that Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway is a non-pharmacological option that can be offered to smokers seeking help to quit via local health authority quit smoking services.<\/p>\n

      With regards to e-cigarettes and vaping WHO comments that \u201cswitching isn\u2019t quitting\u201d and Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway is a drug free clinically proven alternative to smoking & vaping that they are happy to deploy as part of their \u2018Commit to Quit 2021 Campaign<\/a>\u2019<\/p>\n
