Having started smoking in my early teens, by the time I left college I\u2019d become a hardcore chain-smoker. If it was an Olympic sport \u2013 my mantelpiece would be weighed down with gold medals.<br><br>Eventually, like a 30-something leg-heavy, fading boxing champion it occurred to me, that it was time to throw in the towel. I made many failed attempts to quit over many years \u2013 but the one day of the year that I\u2019d never have even attempted to quit would be the third Thursday in November; The Great American Smokeout. In fact, if I hadn\u2019t already been a chain-smoker I\u2019d have smoked twice as many cigarettes as normal on days like that. The same goes for the UK\u2019s &#8216;National No Smoking Day&#8217; (first Wednesday in March), and &#8216;Stoptober&#8217; (the entire month of October).\n<p class=\"larger_text\">More than ever smokers are tired of being pushed around<\/p>\nSmokers are quite rightly fed up of being told when they can or can\u2019t smoke and the endless lectures and pressure from loved ones, colleagues, friends, and even disapproving strangers in the street are more than enough to have smokers rebel in the face of media campaigns designed to have them quit.<br><br>So, does that make events like The Great American Smokeout a waste of time, energy, and resources? In terms of inspiring hardcore smokers to quit \u2013 the answer is probably \u201cyes\u201d. But there is another side to the argument. The event certainly exposes smokers to news and information about new ways of quitting smoking. The chances of stumbling across the story of a former chain-smoker like me, who, having failed miserably to quit, many, many times, finally succeeding in quitting with ease might well be \u201cslim to impossible\u201d without there being days when smoking, or stopping smoking, per se is newsworthy.\n<p class=\"larger_text\">Telling a smoker it&#8217;s killing them is a waste of time<\/p>\nThe mistake that most media outlets (and for that matter anti-tobacco organisations make) is focusing on the downsides of smoking in their campaigns. Any smoker with half a brain cell knows that it\u2019s killing them, costing them a fortune, and controlling their lives. Try to tell them about those aspects and they turn off immediately. Quite rightly so \u2013 it\u2019s all so patronising and so obvious. Make a smoker experience fear and what do they do? They light a cigarette. It\u2019s entirely counter-productive.\nIf only all those horror stories about the dangers of smoking were replaced by simple, aspirational, encouraging messages, I\u2019m sure the day would be many times more successful.<br><br>Tell a smoker it\u2019s killing them, and they\u2019ll close their ears. Tell a smoker that to quit they need to expend gargantuan levels of willpower for the rest of their lives and the fear and misery will have them reach immediately for a smoke. So why not tell them, what after all is the truth, that it can be easy to quit\u2026just as long as you know how.\n<p class=\"larger_text\">I couldn&#8217;t believe my luck when I found it easy to quit<\/p>\nWhen I stumbled across Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway to Quit Smoking and found it not only ridiculously easy to quit, but actually enjoyable, I couldn\u2019t believe my luck. I\u2019d become convinced that it was impossible for me to quit and I\u2019d resigned myself to a shorter, unhealthier, wheezing existence as a smoker and abandoned all hope of stopping. When I quit it was like being released from a lifetime jail sentence and I couldn\u2019t wait to help others escape too.<br><br>The best thing was that I didn\u2019t become one of those loathsome ex-smokers who hassle and harangue their friends who smoke. Being a poacher turned gamekeeper meant I never lost sight of what my own life was like as a smoker. The last thing I\u2019d ever want to do is make a smoker feel uncomfortable. I\u2019m still perfectly happy for any friends who smoke to do so in my car. Back in the day I\u2019d be miserable if I couldn\u2019t smoke on a car journey.\n<p class=\"larger_text\">Allen Carr&#8217;s simple instructions set you free<\/p>\nI think that\u2019s why Allen Carr\u2019s method resonated so strongly with me \u2013 his instructions and guidance flew in the face of conventional methods. Rather than hide yourself away from social occasions and friends who smoke he tells smokers to go out, party like normal, to enjoy life, and handle stress right from the start. As long as you\u2019re finding it easy not to smoke there\u2019s no temptation to start again\u2026even when you\u2019re under the influence on alcohol.<br><br>So how do you find it easy to quit? You just need to understand why it is you think you enjoy smoking and why it is you think it helps you to relax or cope with stress or to control your weight. Once you\u2019ve been shown how you\u2019ve been hustled into believing those myths that surround smoking \u2013 you\u2019re no more likely to put a cigarette in your mouth than you would be to play poker with a crooked dealer.\n<p class=\"larger_text\">When is the best time to quit?<\/p>\nActually, this year, more than ever, it looks like the Great American Smokeout is delivering positive, rather than negative messages to smokers (and their families). It certainly can\u2019t do any harm and the smokers who quit as a result of it make it of worth. But if, like this former smoker, the idea of a national quit smoking day fills you with horror and rebellion, there\u2019s always tomorrow. Or the next day.<br><br><a class=\"button red hvr\" href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/easyway-stop-smoking\/on-demand-online-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DON&#8217;T leave it until tomorrow.
