Allen Carr was an extremely heavy smoker for thirty-three years. After countless miserable attempts to quit using willpower, in the summer of 1983 he discovered what every smoker dreams of – an easy way to stop smoking.

His first clinic was lauched in Raynes Park, just outside London, England in 1983. Today, over twenty years later, there are over 58 Easyway clinics in 24 countries. Every year over 40,000 smokers attend an Easyway session.

In 1985 he was asked to put his session into book form. That book, The Easy Way to Stop Smoking has sold over six million copies and is one of the bestselling self-help books in the history of publishing. It has been Penguin’s top selling non-fiction title every year since publication. It has topped bestseller charts in nine countries. Today, Allen Carr is in semi-retirement. His passion for helping smokers is undiminished and he lectures to schoolchildren in an attempt to prevent them from starting to smoke. He lives with his wife Joyce in England and Spain.

Since 1983 Allen Carr has made one simple (and to most smokers, incredible) claim that any smoker can find it easy to stop smoking. With no particular willpower, no withdrawal and no weight gain. In addition to finding it easy, quitting smoking can be one of the most enjoyable and empowering experiences of your life.

The Easyway to Stop Smoking is not hypnosis or reverse brainwashing. It is based on the principle that over the years of smoking we develop distorted thinking about what cigarettes do for us. For example, we begin to tell ourselves that smoking relaxes us, helps us handle stress, relieves boredom etc. But if this were genuinely true then smokers would be more relaxed, less stressed and less bored than non-smokers. Hmmm...

The Easyway method demonstrates that these perceived benefits are in fact illusions. Yes, they are powerful and subtle illusions, but illusions nevertheless. If we smoke to relieve boredom, for instance, then why do we also smoke when we aren’t bored? And why don’t non-smokers, who have the same stresses and strains as smokers, need a ‘crutch’ to get through life?

By demonstrating that there are no genuine benefits to smoking (let’s face it, if there were, it would say so on the pack) we can see that our perceived desire to smoke is rooted in these false beliefs. Once we can remove these false beliefs and replace them with more positive and empowering ones, the desire to smoke is eliminated. With no desire to smoke there is no need for willpower (willpower is only needed if you have a desire to do something but won’t let yourself). With no willpower there is no conflict. With no conflict there is no fear, no panic, no anxiety or many of the other symptoms associated with quitting. This is why former smokers quitting using this method christened it ‘Easyway’.

We refer to all other methods of quitting smoking as ‘willpower’. The reason for this is that irrespective of whether you use patches, gum, acupuncture, laser or hypnosis, there comes a time when you have to confront the real problem: the desire to smoke. You can use as many pills or patches as you want, but if you retain the desire to smoke, you will need to use willpower.

There are many problems with the willpower approach to quitting. The main one is that smokers feel that they are being deprived of something they either enjoy or that serves some other purpose. This feeling of deprivation creates tremendous conflict – you want to quit, but you are desperate to smoke. This conflict creates the rollercoaster of emotions and, in many cases, the physical symptoms that smokers associate with quitting. Even people who succeed using willpower often remain anxious, frustrated and bitter. Everyone knows at least one of these ex-smokers, and part of our fear about quitting is that we will end up like them.

The only way to be a truly happy non-smoker is to have absolutely no desire to smoke.

The Easyway method is the only method that removes the desire to smoke. By removing the desire, we remove the conflict. With no conflict, the whole quitting process is easy and, for many people, extremely enjoyable and empowering.

The Easy Way to Stop Smoking is the world's leading autority on quitting smoking. Not only does it have the highest independently verified success rate on record (75.8% for a pack-a-day smoker who has completed the programme) it also has a 90% satisfaction rating. This information comes from an independent clinical evaluation of the Easyway method conducted by Prof. Manfred Neuberger on behalf of the Austrian Ministry of Health (Study to measure the effectiveness of Allen Carr’s Easyway method and the improvement of the health-related quality of life of non-smokers, Neuberger & Stadler, 2004). Prof. Neuberger is one of the most renowned researchers in this field.
