The Easy Way to Stop Smoking

Born in England, Allen Carr began smoking at age nine. For the next fifteen years, he smoked around three packs of cigarettes a day. In 1983, after trying and failing to quit many times with no lasting success, he decided to investigate the methods used by those who succeeded. He discovered that there were two major reasons why those who tried to quit couldn’t: First, they didn’t know how they would react to being deprived of the nicotine they had become physically dependent on; second, they didn’t know how to handle their feelings of stress and anxiety when faced with situations that produced cravings for a cigarette—the psychological withdrawal symptoms. Using what he learned as a basis for his revolutionary system, Allen Carr was able to quit smoking himself after five minutes and remains so today. His unique method turned out to be effective for countless others as well. It is simple but powerful: Learn about why you smoke and how you can deal effectively with withdrawal symptoms when they arise; avoid situations where you might fail; stay committed far enough that 100 percent of your physical dependence on nicotine is removed from your body—and then be sure never to take another puff!
