I was told about this book by a collegue. I started reading it thinking I would read the book but never stop. As I read it I found myself having less and less desire to smoke.
The book was very repetative and at times it would have been easy to stop reading. I continued to the end of the book and have now been a non smoker for over a year.
In that time I have had cravings but but most of the time I am just thankful that i don't smoke anymore.

Well sort of!
Read this in conjunction with listening to Paul Mckenna 'Stop Smoking' hypnosis tape (every night for at least 2 wks), and wasn't really sure I wanted to quit, but was supporting a friend (as you do). Had read AC's Easyway, but needed something more hardcore to convince me... I put out my last ciggy at 1pm 7th January 2008, and have not smoked since.
Oh Yes, occassionally felt like a ciggy, but bigger picture is I do not want to be a smoker. Thanks to Allen Carr
20 a day for 25 years - and I LOVED smoking...........If I can do it, YOU CAN TOO ! GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is essentially a 'superking' version of 'Easy Way to Stop Smoking', whose extended length actually makes it less satisfying and poorer value. Carr pads out his otherwise useful advice with autobiographical details and tedious analogies that add nothing to the text apart from extra, irrelevant pages. He makes this worse by teasing you about 'the instructions' he will soon reveal to help you stop smoking for good, which he kindly manages to withhold until page 380!
The book therefore reads like an unedited version of 'Easy Way' published after the slimmer volume's success to make more money from the smoking 'monster'. By the final page I was no nearer to quitting my habit but had developed a passionate dislike of this self-aggrandising, ... Read More:

On buying the book, I was doing just what your doing now. Thinking "it'll never work, not for me"
I decided to give it a go regardless, so I bought this book thinking "hey, Its worth a go at that price" but then left it on a shelf for 2 months un-opened.
I decided to give it a try anyway. WOW! It worked a treat, been smoke-free for 14 weeks now. Following my "final cigarette" i have never once had even a flicker of a craving to smoke, and i use to smoke quite a bit!
I think one of the key elements to the book, is that you do NOT have to stop smoking until you reach almost to the end, and by that time you will most likely already be an ex-smoker.
The book is quite long, and repetitive in places, but don't ... Read More:

I really got into the book to begin with but got fed up of Alan Carr telling me that by the end of the book I would be a non-smoker and given the lenght of the book I thought 'this could take a year to read!' so i got bored with waiting to give up on Alan's say so and hit the champix instead. I am now on 3 ciggies a day rather than 20 so at least it's a start. I would advise only reading this book if you smoke because you are bored and plenty of time to read. Busy people.....forget it.
