This method works for me, I quite smoking 2 years ago. and is the only money back guaranteed.. . Get the Facts. Easyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating. . . Compare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.” . . The Allen Carr Method. HOW THE METHOD WORKS. . Using psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.. . It is fear that keeps smokers hooked!. . Fear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.. . The Method removes these fears . Smokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….. . TO BE FREE!. . What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?. . The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.. . The Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation. . It removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.. . No Gimmicks!. . The Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment! . . The Allen Carr Method is successful because:. . It removes the smokers’ conflict of will. . There are no bad withdrawal pangs. . It is instantaneous and easy. . It is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers. . You need not gain weight. . You will not miss smoking. . . Medical Endorsements. . A personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health. . “I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.” . . Carole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees . . “his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”. . Dr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital. . “I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”. . Dr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong. . “It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”. . Dr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research . Fund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London. . ”...I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”. . Dr PM Bray MB CH.b.,
