Editorial Reviews
Review
"A different approach. A stunning success." --Sun
"I was exhilarated by a new sense of freedom." --Independent
From the Author
Allen Carr was an accountant and smoked 100 cigarettes a day until he gave up and wrote this bestselling book. He has built a hugely successful network of stop-smoking clinics across the world and is the author of The Only Way to Stop Smoking, How to Stop Your Child Smoking, The Easy Way to Enjoy Flying and The Easyweigh to Lose Weight. In 2004 Allen published his bestselling autobiography Packing It In (Michael Joseph). He was diagnosed with lung cancer in the summer of 2006 and died in November of the same year. It seems likely that the years he spent curing smokers in smoke-filled sessions at his clinics must have contributed to this illness, but Allen Carr remained positive; "Given that I am informed that I have cured at least 10 million smokers on a conservative estimation, it's a price worth paying."

About the author
Allen Carr was a chain-smoker for over 30 years. In 1983, after countless failed attempts to quit, he went from 60–100 cigarettes a day to zero without suffering withdrawal pangs, without using willpower, and without putting on weight. He realized that he had discovered what the world had been waiting for, the easy way to stop smoking, and embarked on a mission to help cure the world’s smokers.
As a result of the phenomenal success of his method, he gained an international reputation as the world’s leading expert on stopping smoking and his network of clinics now spans the globe. His first book, Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking, has sold over 12 million copies, remains a global bestseller, and has been published in more than 40 different languages.
Allen Carr’s Easyway method has been successfully applied to a host of issues including sugar addiction, alcohol, debt, and other addictions.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2021TLDR: I had never before tried to quit. I didn't know if I even wanted to quit. I thought the title sounded so cheesy & couldn't be legit, but I gave it a try. I read it. It worked 100% – I stopped smoking within hours of finishing the book, have been smoke-free ever since (9 months) and will never smoke again in my entire life. GET IT! IT WORKS!
...
After over a decade as a pack-a-day-or-more smoker, I read this book, and I quit without any physical or mental anguish, and with complete confidence that I will never smoke another cigarette again for as long as I live. It feels amazing. It has been 9 months now, and I can say in all sincerity that after following Carr's method, I have not had a single authentic craving since the moment I put out my final cigarette. The smell of cigarette smoke is absolutely repulsive to me now. When I see people smoking I cannot believe that I was stuck in that trap for so long, and I wish I could stop and tell them all how easy it could be for them to finally be free!
The brilliance of Carr's method is that he strips away every possible myth and misconception we hold about why we smoke, and replaces it with facts. Once fully internalized, the truth is impossible to unsee. And once you see it, smoking holds absolutely zero allure for you – it is reduced to what it really is: an addiction to lighting a toxic weed on fire, and inhaling the fumes of the burning poison into your lungs. Smoking doesn't help you focus – it is the urge to smoke that distracts you in the first place. It does not calm your nerves – you are perpetually more stressed all the time because you are anxious about how, when, and where you will next get to smoke. It doesn't give you energy – your energy is low all the time because you're constantly in one phase of nicotine withdrawal or the other.
Carr walks you through these myths and many more in great detail, and if you read with intention and an open mind, I can't imagine he won't get through to you. Once the myths are shattered, your will to smoke is gone. By about halfway through the book it was already working – I found every cigarette an absolute chore, even though I followed his instructions and did not cut down nor attempt to quit until the very end. I actually began to feel it took willpower to *continue* smoking at that point (as opposed to willpower to *stop* smoking, as society would have you believe). You do not need willpower to quit doing something that you don't enjoy doing, that is providing you no benefit, and is robbing you of your physical, mental, and financial wellbeing. You need the truth. And that's what Carr gives you.
I am grateful everyday for Allen Carr. I am certain I will live a longer – but even more so a HAPPIER – life as a result of this book empowering me to quit smoking.
I will note that there are some elements of Carr's cultural perspectives/references that are a bit dated. While some of this may feel like it doesn't apply to you (I'm a 30-something, so I definitely felt that) directly, know that the same general ideas apply to almost every generation. For the most part, I read Carr like he was my grandfather's wise and charming friend – a *bit* out-of-touch from a cultural perspective, but warm, funny, and charismatic none the less. And more to the point, none of this distracts from the overall efficacy of the book or the underlying method it teaches.
If you're on this page (and read this far down into my lengthy review), you know on some level that you don't want to be a smoker anymore. This costs less than a pack of smokes – you have nothing to lose and everything to gain – give it a shot!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2025I'm still in the early stages of having quit (day 10), but I feel like this time it's different than other times I've tried to quit. The logic that Carr lays out in the book worked for me to get me over the hump to quit. I haven't tried to quit in 15 years ('m a 30 year plus smoker). But this time it feels different. I don't feel like I'm giving up something precious or valuable. The book says you don't need willpower. I'm not sure that is 100% true as the cravings will come, but you are psychologically ready to deal with them and the willpower needed doesn't feel like a monumental effort. Give it a try. I bought the book 1.5 years before I actually quit. Waited until I was "ready" to start reading it. And even then, I wasn't "ready" and parked it after reading half of it. Picked it back up 6 months later and now my life as a non-smoker begins. Very grateful that Allen Carr helped change my perspective making it fairly easy for me to quit smoking!
- Reviewed in the United States on August 6, 2024I smoked for a total of 19 years off and on taking a break when I found out I was pregnant. Last six years has been a little rough so I fell back on smoking again. I have a very love/hate relationship with smoking. I love smoking, but I hate the shame that comes along with it. The other issue is that as I’ve gotten older, my heart has not liked it at all and I started getting palpitations. After a rough weekend, l decided once and for all that I was done. I was looking for recommendations online and came across someone raving about this book and how it helped them quit. I figured it honestly couldn’t hurt to try even though I was deeply skeptical. I will say this book is very repetitive. Like annoyingly repetitive. I read it over the course of a week. Just a couple pages here and there. When I started reading it, I had a full pack of cigarettes left. It helped me cut down so much that by the time I was done reading I had one cigarette left and I was borderline a chain smoker. I smoked my last cigarette in March and it’s now August. That’s not to say that it wasn’t rough for a bit but holy cow so much more manageable than I thought it was going to be. Every once in a while I’d get hit with an intense craving and then it was gone. I’m super grateful that I came across that person recommending this book. It made quitting so so incredibly easy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost at 5 years now!
Simply put. It works. I didn't think it would. I'm almost at 5 years since I quit. I installed an app on my phone back then to track my progress. In under 5 years I have saved almost $30,000 and did not smoke almost 43,000 individual cigarettes. I went from a pack a day to zero. Try it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Writing after 6 years of purchase and staying smoke
Had to write this after my experience being total non smoker for 6 years since purchase. If you are reading this, trust me, this works like a absolute magic. I was a smoker for 13 years and was getting fed up of hiding and smoking, shame, money being wasted, family's despair that I planned to quit several times but all in vein.
Problem why I always relapsed was because my method was totally clueless as to how to stay quit because some way or other, extreme urges used to come back always and I used to smoke harder than before. Then around December 2018, I finally thought of staying quit no matter what but don't know from when to stop. I told them my smoking friends and few more about my decision to quit seriously and fortunately, SO SO FORTUNATELY, one of those friends recommended me this PRECIOUS BOOK and after reading it, I have been a non smoker for 6 years because it's January 2025 now. I won't say much as to how this book works but JUST GO FOR IT, I have been there!!!!!!!! :)
