Product Description
A new edition of the revolutionary bestseller, with four million copies in print. Allen Carr’s innovative Easyway method—which he discovered after his own 100-cigarette-a-day habit nearly drove him to despair—has helped millions kick smoking without feeling anxious and deprived. That’s because he helps smokers discover the psychological reasons behind their dependency, explains in detail how to handle the withdrawal symptoms, shows them how to avoid situations when temptation might become too strong, and enables them to stay smoke-free. Carr discusses such issues as nicotine addiction; the social “brainwashing” that encourages smoking; the false belief that a cigarette relieves stress; the role boredom plays in sabotaging efforts to stop; and the main reasons for failure. With this proven program, smokers will be throwing away their packs for good.

The Easy Way To Stop Smoking by Allen Carr May 3, 2008
This book made my mother stop smoking this past Februray. She's 58 years old, and smoked since her early teens. She was diagnosed with COPD (chronic obstrutic pulmonary disease) due to smoking on 6-06-06. Ironically between that date and being told that diagnosis and placed on Albuterol inhaler she only quit for a month. She continued- and her conditioned worsened when she came down with a bought of routine bronchitis that was inches away from walking phenumonea. Her lungs could not fight it off anymore. To top it off, The albuterol inhalers were reformulated and lost their effectivenss for some persons. After going into the doctors again for her bronchitis (I had to drag her there), and being placed on an excellent new medication for COPD called Spiriva, AND, convincing her to read this book- SHE QUIT, AND her lungs are dramatically improved within just several months time. She could even cut in half her other medications, and practically eliminated one altogether. Her phlem, cough- all that is better. She should have done this years ago. I'm 31 years old and I remember this was going to be a Christmas presant to me when I was 12. I feel through my persistence in taking her to the doctors (she is just not one to be worried about things like this as crazy as it sounds), getting her on that Spiriva, and me researching this site on this wonderful book FINALLY got through to her that these things are nothing but life destroyers. I believe you should quit not just because you know you should, but because you truly WANT to. Never give up on somebody or yourself for that matter. It can take a long time- but in this case persistance paid off- and this was MY Christmas presant to her.
The best book. May 1, 2008
I strongly recommend this book. My friend gave me this book when she quit after reading the book. I quit the minute I finished reading the book. Another friend of mine also did. I buy this book when I want to pass it on to a smoker friend of mine.

I read this book years ago and was very disappointed. The basic idea is that the tobacco companies are lying to you and you are lying to yourself thinking that you like to smoke and if you just realize this you will magically want to quit. I should probably give this book 2 stars since Carr was crafty enough to make millions on this book.
Well written and highly effective April 27, 2008
I was given a copy of this book during the first month or two of 2007. After I let it sit on my night stand for 2-3 weeks, I finally got around to reading it. I made up my mind to give it a real chance by following the instructions/suggestions exactly. The book could easily be read in just a day or two, but I managed to drag it out over a couple of weeks. Even though I took it slowly, I did follow Carr's instructions (such as don't try to quit before finishing the book and never try cutting back before quitting, among others). He gives you a different perspective on the process of quitting that (for me, at least) worked surprisingly well. I selected a Monday afternoon two days after I finished the book to quit. To add a measure of insurance, I smoked two final cigarettes instead of one and smoked them quickly, back-to-back (to make sure the last cigarette I smoked would not be a pleasant memory). That was it. It's been over a year since I gained my freedom from smoking (after over 38 years of a pack a day). It was much easier than I thought it would be and this was due to the perspective I gained from reading Carr's book. I purchased another copy for my older brother a few weeks ago and hope he too will soon be rid of the addiction.
Works Great! Proud quitter! April 26, 2008
I quit smoking thanks to this book, but I did have to read it twice. The first time I just kind of buzzed through it, and did not read it thoroughly enough, so I quit for only three days. The second time was the charm, just had to read every letter, and keep an open mind, and it worked great. If this book did not work for you, you need to read it again, and read every single letter, and simply listen to what's being said, and keep your opinions out.
This book is worth every penny.
