 There are other ways! April 8, 2008

Err, no - sorry. I tried this book after having heard and read about the successes of so many others, but apparently I seem to be in the group of what Allen Carr describes as `'less than 10 percent''. I am not even a `confirmed smoker' as I desperately wanted to quit. I too, had tried a lot of the traditional methods to no avail. I really gave this book a shot but the `solemn promise' I made myself just didn't do it for me. Happily now, I am smoke free, but no thanks to Mr Carr. I now enjoying a smoke free life thanks to Dr.Gurgevich!
Works! And it is sooooo easy... March 28, 2008

I was a 1 pack a day smoker for 10 years. Not much by some standarts but enough for me...
I had already dropped the booze using Allen Carr's "Easyway to Quit Drinking" so I knew this couldn't fail... Still I had my doubts as to how easy it was really going to be.
And it was so easy it's scary... There are some withdrawal pangs for a few days (3 days in my case) but they are so mild and you actually enjoy it because soon you will feel them no more...
Now I have more energy, more money, more health! And don't have to worry if I have cigs or not for the evening of if a place I go to has a smoking area.
Just the freedom is incredible!
Thank you Allen! Even in death you still save lives!
Works for "casual smokers" too March 27, 2008
I only used to smoke down the pub or on big nights out.. could go a whole week and not have the urge but as soon as I drank alcohol or was "out" I had the craving.
There is a section for people like me - why deny yourself the cigarettes during the week if they are so pleasurable? Why smoke at the weekend if you can go the whole week? Lots and lots of arguments and counter arguments but it all makes sense.
So I say that this book worked for me. I do not have the slightest urge to smoke during drinking or any other social situation.
It has spread like wildfire through my office and social circle and everyone who has finished the book has stopped smoking.
Be warned - I know of a few people who have felt the book change their attitude and stopped reading halfway through in fear of what they will be "giving up".. rest assured if you read the whole thing you will be free of this pathetic drug.
Allen Carr is putting me out of a job March 26, 2008

Bet you are all pleased with yourselves, quitting smoking the easy way. Selfish swine, why don't you think of others?
I am the Anti Smoking Industry. I make an honest living selling nicotine patches, nicotine gum, fake cigarette substitutes and various other paraphernalia to smokers desperate to quit. I also run therapy classes where I tell the mugs just how impossible it is to quit unless they attend my classes and buy my anti-smoking products.
Like I say, it's a good living.
So how do you think I feel when Allen bloody Carr comes along and shows everybody just how easy it is to quit without using so much as a second hand patch to bless themselves with!
The whole point of the tobacco quitting industry is to tell the suckers that they are hooked forever unless they buy our products. But the products must not actually cure them! That would be cutting our own throats. Madness.
So this Allen Carr character is destroying our industry. If he cures everyone how will we sell our products? We could try selling aids to dieting, I suppose. There are plenty of suckers who will buy our diet aids. But guess what? Allen Carr has only gone and written a book about that too! The Easy Weigh (his pun, not mine) to lose weight, or something. That's two industries Allen Carr is ruining. It is enough to turn you to drink. But wait! He has written a book showing us the easy way to control our drinking! Curing alcoholics? The man is a menace.
Of course I know it works, how do you think I quit myself? But that's no reason to tell everyone!
So if you want to put me out of a job, and selfishly live longer, buy this book and quit smoking the easy way.
 Give it a go March 24, 2008
I think that this is a book which will give you the support you need to give up cigarettes. If you have made up your mind that you want to stop or are looking for a kick-start, then this book will be very useful to you and may just do the job. It's not a miracle cure as some reviews would have you believe, you still need will power and determination to succeed. It is a book which you will pick up when the will to carry on starts waning and it will help you stick with it. Long after stopping smoking, it's still a useful tool to read over again to remind you why you stopped.
