With reference to the items I just listed \u2013 it reminds me how Allen Carr always used to joke about so called nicotine replacement products \u2013 he used to say \u201cWhat will they think of next? A cigarette?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So many smokers have tried to use these other methods and have either gone back to smoking, continued to smoke as well as use the products, or become addicted to the nicotine product that was supposed to cure them. No surprise then that more and more smokers are turning to quit smoking facilitators, quit smoking hypnotherapists, and quit smoking counsellors to help them kick the smoking habit.<\/p>\n<p>So with no shortage of candidates \u2013 how do you choose which one to entrust your next, and hopefully your last, quit smoking attempt to?<\/p>\n<p>Here is a checklist that should help you:<\/p>\n<p><strong>It should not be someone who has never smoked.<\/strong>\nHow can they possibly empathise with you, with your smoking history, with your previous attempts to quit smoking if they have never smoked, and more importantly, never escaped from smoking themselves?<\/p>\n<p><strong>It should not be someone who smokes.<\/strong>\nMany quit smoking facilitators, hypnotherapists, and counsellors who smoke claim that they continue to do so because they enjoy it and do not want to quit. We all know they are kidding themselves. No part of addiction involves \u201cchoosing\u201d whether you take the drug or not. No-one so deluded is going to be able to help you to be free. When you get free \u2013 pass on your quit smoking facilitator\u2019s business card to these counsellors. They need help as much as you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It should not be someone who says how difficult and tough it is going to be.<\/strong>\nWhen there are tens of thousands, in fact millions, of former smokers who quitted smoking easily \u2013 you should always be wary of someone who claims that it is going to be hard. This type of quit smoking counsellor or facilitator will always blame the poor smoker for their lack of success and their excuses include such gems as \u201cyou obviously don\u2019t want to quit enough\u201d or \u201cyou are just not strong enough\u201d or \u201cyou really aren\u2019t ready to quit are you?\u201d If these people were car mechanics \u2013 they\u2019d kick your tyres \u2013 tut-tut loudly \u2013 and shake their heads before telling you the extortionate amount they intend to charge you for<span class=\"caps\">NOT<\/span> fixing your car.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It should not be someone who charges small or large amounts without any guarantee regarding results.<\/strong>\nIf you paid someone to fix your car, fix your house, fix you laptop, or mend your garden fence and they failed to fix it \u2013 you wouldn\u2019t expect to pay them \u2013 let alone pay them a lot!<\/p>\n<p><strong>It should not be someone who provides a guarantee that turns out to merely be more free sessions of the treatment.<\/strong>\nThis is a misuse of the word \u201cguarantee\u201d. It would be like buying a razor which doesn\u2019t work properly and when you complain \u2013 the razor company offer you a lifetime supply of razors which also do not work. That\u2019s no kind of guarantee. <span class=\"caps\">BEWARE<\/span> OF <span class=\"caps\">THESE<\/span> <span class=\"caps\">GUARANTEES<\/span> \u2013 they are extremely common and often provided by people who charge a <span class=\"caps\">LOT<\/span> OF <span class=\"caps\">MONEY<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It should be someone who used to smoke and practises the method they themselves used.<\/strong>\nThey will empathise with your smoking history, your previous attempts to quit smoking, and lead you gently along the path that they themselves walked toward freedom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>It should be someone who is successful enough at what they do \u2013 to charge based on their results.<\/strong>\nAnyone can charge you a lot of money and fail to help you quit smoking. Only a very special quit smoking counsellor, hypnotherapist, or facilitator promises to cure you of smoking \u2013 and if they fail \u2013 agrees that they will repay your fee in full. If free of charge sessions are part of the guarantee \u2013 that is fine \u2013 as long as the guarantee includes <span class=\"caps\">GETTING<\/span> <span class=\"caps\">YOUR<\/span> <span class=\"caps\">MONEY<\/span> <span class=\"caps\">BACK<\/span> IF <span class=\"caps\">THEY<\/span> <span class=\"caps\">DON<\/span>\u2019T <span class=\"caps\">WORK<\/span>! You can afford to pay a little more \u2013 if the results are guaranteed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If possible it should be someone who is recommended by friends or people who are happy non-smokers.<\/strong>\nThere is nothing better than personal recommendation whatever you are paying for. If a quit smoking facilitator comes recommended by friends or friends of friends who used the facilitator to quit smoking successfully \u2013 it\u2019s a no-brainer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If possible it should be someone who is recommended by celebrities.<\/strong>\nOK \u2013 so not all of us can afford celebrity prices \u2013 but if you know of celebrities who have quit smoking using a particular facilitator \u2013 you should make inquiries. Celebs often pay far more for their treatment because they prefer a private, one to one session. You may find that group sessions with the same facilitator\/counsellor are far more affordable and equally effective. You\u2019ll still get the <span class=\"caps\">ROCKSTAR<\/span> result.<\/p>\n<p>You probably think that the above checklist is too tough and that it is too far-fetched to imagine that you could find any quit smoking facilitator or quit smoking counsellor or quit smoking hypnotherapist who ticks all the right boxes. You might be surprised to know \u2013 that every single <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencarr.com\/en-us\/about-allen-carrs-easyway\/#OurPeople\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway Facilitator<\/a>, in every single Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway Center in the world \u2013 ticks every single one of those boxes. How about that?<\/p>\n<p>The great news for smokers is that there is an easy way to quit smoking. In the UK Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway has clinics in London, Reading, Staines, Bournemouth, Brighton, Birmingham, Southampton, Maidstone, High Wycombe, Aylesbury, Manchester, Lancashire, Nottingham, Derby, Coventry, Leicester, Milton Keynes. Newcastle, Stoke, Crewe, Bristol, Cardiff, Belfast, Glasgow, and Scotland. It doesn\u2019t have to be hard to quit smoking \u2013 you just have to become a happy non-smoker rather than someone who thinks they have quit something. <a href=\"\/\" target=\"_blank\"
