I\u2019d smoked since my late teens.\u201d<br><br>\u201cI smoked all through college and when I started work, we had ashtrays on desks; the place was a fog. I don\u2019t expect my children to even see smokers now, but I was surrounded by them as a child \u2014 you could smoke on buses, trains, aeroplanes.\u201d<br><br>About a decade ago he was certain he\u2019d managed to break his addiction. But a year later, he was back to his pack-a-day habit.<br><br>\u201cMy mum sent me Allen Carr\u2019s book [Easy Way to Quit Smoking] two or three times and when I was young, offered me bribes \u2014 \u00a3100 if I quit for three months. [In the end my wife] Louise signed me up for the [2015 course here]. I spent six hours on a Sunday afternoon. I was ready. I\u2019d been waiting to do it and I really didn\u2019t want my children to see me smoke.\u201d<br><br>Millions have permanently quit smoking after taking the Easy Way course, according to local organisers Open Airways. The charity claims the seminar has \u201cthe highest recorded success rate of any quit-smoking method \u2014 by far\u201d.\n<p class=\"larger_text\"><strong>&#8220;SilverSurfer&#8221; lists Allen Carr&#8217;s Easyway to Quit Smoking book at the beginning of their recommended list of self-help books for the New Year. <\/strong><\/p>\nIn a glowing recommendation they say &#8220;Allen Carr\u2019s Easy Way To Quit Smoking \u2013 first published in 1985, Allen Carr\u2019s Easy Way To Quit Smoking is seen by many as the definitive anti-smoking guide. Carr, himself once a 100 a day smoker, doesn\u2019t just explain the steps to quitting but challenges any excuses smokers may make for why they cannot quit in the first place. Much more of a psychological examination on why people believe they smoke and why they could never quit. Carr delivers an approachable and articulate opposition to these worries and shows that quitting is not beyond anyone\u2019s reach.&#8221;<br><br><a class=\"button red hvr\"
