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.

Smokers: This book will help you quit that nasty addiction.
This book does not go into scare tactics, we all know how bad smoking is for us, and how much money we would save if we quit.
Read it while you are still smoking, you will want to quit before you hit the last chapter.
I quit in January 2006 after smoking for 15 years, it really does work.

Non Smokers: This book will give you an insight into why smokers do what they do. For eg. Light up a cigarette as soon as you suggest they should quit. And ideas how to support a family member who has just quit.

I have to say I found Alan Carr slightly derogatory, but that is not to say he hasn't written a clear, useful, practical and simple book about quiting smoking. Somehow, he manages to make it sound easy, and when you understand why after reading the book, it really does seem that easy. Needless to say, when it comes to actually quitting and putting it all into action, that kind of goes out the window. I feel that Carr has forgotten that smoking is a physical addiction too and seems to be saying here that it is simply a matter of changing the way we think and we'll be fine! This is all well and good if you are truly ready to rid your life of ciggarettes, and this book will be quite helpful for you. But if you're not ready, you're not ready. Fortunately this book tries to help you become ready, but like I said, I feel as though the author is talking down to me, like one of those really bad preachy reformed smokers. It didn't make me feel empowered, rather more rebelious and determined to smoke because of this. Oh, and no, I didn't quit smoking. Give it a go, it may be what you need, but it really doesn't offer anything new, well, to me anyway. Good Luck...
