This method works for me and is the only money back guaranteed.\nI quite smoking 2 years ago\n\n\nGet the Facts\nEasyway, founded by Allen Carr in 1983, has the highest independently verified 12-month success rate (75.8% for a smoker completing the program) of any quit smoking technique and a 90% satisfaction rating. \n\nCompare Easyway to other methods and see for yourself why Easyway is called “The Cadillac of quit smoking methods.” \n\nThe Allen Carr Method\nHOW THE METHOD WORKS\n\nUsing psychotherapy, the method works in the opposite way to the “willpower” method. It does not concentrate on the reasons the smoker should not smoke : the money, the slavery, the health risks and the stigma. Smokers know all that already. Instead it focuses on why smokers continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.\n\nIt is fear that keeps smokers hooked!\n\nFear the smoker will have to give up their pleasure or crutch. Fear the smoker will be unable to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear the smoker will have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear the smoker will never get completely free from the craving.\n\nThe Method removes these fears \nSmokers quit with the Allen Carr Method as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted….\n\nTO BE FREE!\n\nWhat about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?\n\nThe physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight that most smokers don’t realise that they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try and quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.\n\nThe Allen Carr Method removes this feeling of deprivation. \nIt removes the need and desire to smoke. Once the smoker is in the right frame of mind and they follow the simple instructions, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.\n\nNo Gimmicks!\n\nThe Method does not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhilators or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment! \n\nThe Allen Carr Method is successful because:\n\nIt removes the smokers’ conflict of will. \nThere are no bad withdrawal pangs. \nIt is instantaneous and easy. \nIt is equally effective for long-term heavy smokers and light smokers. \nYou need not gain weight. \nYou will not miss smoking. \n\nMedical Endorsements\n\nA personal view from Professor Judith Mackay MBE, JP, FRCO (Edin), FRCP (Lon), World Health Organisation Advisory Panel on Tobacco and Health\n\n“I have no hesitation in supporting Allen Carr’s work. Many clinics use some of his techniques but it would appear that few do it in quite such a successful package.” \n\nCarole Johnson, Coronary Heart Disease Prevention Unit, Tyne Tees \n\n“his success rate was such that, when budgets allow, we continue to use Easyway for work with specific groups and individuals.”\n\nDr Anil Visa BSc, MBBch., FRCA, Consultant – Royal Hospitals NHS Trust – Royal London Hospital\n\n“I have observed the Allen Carr method at first hand and have found it to be very successful and I wholeheartedly support it as an effective way to quit smoking.”\n\nDr William Green, Head of Psychiatric Dept, Matilda Hospital, Hong Kong\n\n“It is a remarkable fact that Allen Carr, on his own admission a non-professional in behaviour modification, should have succeeded where countless psychologists and psychiatrists holding postgraduate qualifications have failed, in formulating a simple and effective way to stop smoking.”\n\nDr Martin Jarvis, Principle Scientist, Imperial Cancer Research \nFund and Reader in Health Psychology, University College London\n\n”...I am more than happy to testify to Allen Carr’s enduring involvement and to recognise the value of the kind of behavioural and cognitive support he provides.”\n\nDr PM Bray MB CH.b.,

You just quit!  If you decide to quit, pick a date and time and stick to it.  Tell your family and friends about your plan so that they can support you.  When the time you picked comes, crush and throw out any leftover cigarettes.  If you are weak willed, stay away from smokers, smoke filled places and anything else that triggers your desire to smoke.  I stayed away from bars and drinking and everytime a friend lit up I would walk away until they were done.  Plus, I don't like being wrong so I made a point of telling everyone that I quit so if I caved and smoked, I would feel stupid.  I didn't want to ever feel stupid.  I have been smoke free for 18 months now (I smoked for 10 years).  You can also reward yourself at milestones (1 day, 1 week, 1 month, etc).  Good luck!!!

there are many ways to do that. but lets' say one thing that works for me may not work for you. every one is different and you need to find out what works best for you.\n1.the first thing is that your will power . \n2. decide that you want to quit and why do you want to do that.\n3. ask yourself that why you cannot quit.\n4. one thing that worked for me is that I (and most people) usually link smoking to something else. like, I used to smoke after a meal, when I wake up in the morning, after my lecture...etc......try to break that link, don't smoke at the usual time you always do. this helps a lot..................hope I was any help.

My dad quit cold turkey after smoking for over 50 years. If you have the willpower, that's the best way, but for most people, it's a hard thing to do. I suggest you ask your doctor, because there are many remedies out there that can help. There are also smoking sessation classes that you can attend. Check your local paper for events around your area. Good luck!

Set a goal each day to make it through without smoking. The key is to take one day at a time. \n\nStay away from your triggers: Coffee, tea and alcohol are well-known triggers for smokers.\n\nReward yourself!\n\nThere are plenty of websites that offer tips and support for those trying to quit.

Short answer?\n1. Stay off nicotine - there are plenty of methods to stop the addiction, but pick one.\n2. Fill your system with good stuff: clear air and healthy food. Do this by taking deep breaths and exhaling completely, and eating only healthy foods (including snacks) for at least a week.\n3. Get plenty of vitamin C, which is supposed to specifically help you rid yourself of nicotine. Take some vitamin C tablets and/or foods with vitamin C. As with any vitamin, don't overdose.

You have to TRULY want to stop to be able to succeed and then you need WILLPOWER.\n\nI used to smoke 40 a day and had been smoking for around 16 years. \n\nI had tried cutting down but that didn't work for me as I found myself getting desperate for the next "fix",,, and ended up pinching rations from the next days ciggies!\nDecided I wanted to stop cold turkey and I set a time and date for doing so. \nLast ciggie to be at 10pm Friday two weeks away. I then psyched (sp) myself up by saying, each time I smoked that I didn't really want this ciggie, it tasted awful, It made me smell...etc\n10pm that Friday I had my last ciggie....no more in the house and I have never smoked since....that was in 1982.\n\nI did read somewhere that drinking fresh orange juice helps to flush the nicotine from your body so I drank loads of that and also had some carrots to chomp on when I felt I wanted a ciggie, though in all honesty I didn't have that many.\n\nDoing it this way worked for me, it may not work for everyone, but I'm glad I did it. \n\nI wish you good luck which ever way you try....it can only be good for your health and your finances.

Just keep telling yourself how bad they are for you. Do this repeatedly till you have set this in your mind. It is not as hard to give up something that you really think is bad for you. \n\nLet your family and friends know you are planning to quit so you have their support and also you will not want to let them down as well as your family.\n\nPick a date that is easy to remember or that means something to you. Could even just be the first of a month. Then quit on that date. You have to want to quit for yourself. The for them is a bonus. Try to stay busy and it will keep your mind off quiting.\n\nYou will still probably bitch but hopefully you can find something else to do and bitch less and less.\n\nAt first it was easy for me and then I wanted to smoke more and more. But I did not even touch one. After a few months the craving was gone, but I still liked to smell a burning cigarette. \n\nHas been over three years now and I still like to smell a cigarette burning but have no desire to smoke one. Still have a couple of cartons in a cabinet and will probably throw them out in some years to follow. At least my old friends are here even if I do not want them.\n\nP.S. I smoked for over 40 years. I liked smoking but finally realized that it was not good for me. It is also a big waste of money as they are very expensive now.\n\nGood luck. Think positive and it will work.

To quit smoking, you need to make two considerations.  First, you have to deal with the cravings, which are from the physical addiction to the chemicals in cigarettes.  Second, you have to address the habit or the behavior of smoking.  The cravings can easily be addressed with acupuncture, it does work for this.  On the other hand, the behaviors - things like smoking after a meal, lighting up when you are stressed, etc - are a completely different issue.  You will have to make the effort to form new habits to replace smoking.   It is like that old saying, "you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink."  The role of the acupuncturist is to make YOUR job of quitting easier.  If you are determined, the acupuncture therapy can make the process of quitting go more smoothly for you.  Also, acupuncture therapy can help your lungs and body begin to detoxify, reduce stress and improve your general health.  Good luck to you.

Agreeing with the rest, cold turkey is the best. If you have the will to quit, and really don't want to smoke......don't.

Tell the people you live and work with not to let you smoke, particularly if they're in a position of authority or don't like you. Eventually you won't be able to smoke anywhere you know people and quitting will become easier

hey man there aint no easy way. i smoked for ten years and am quit for a year now.  first you have to do it cold turky. no cutting down patch gum or anything. do it only when ur the most motivated and determined. then use all the will power that you have to not take even a hit off another cig, when cravings start chew gum, and work out. If you run it out that works vary well also, just keep yourself busy and you will notice in a few weeks the cravings will start to go away. just remember the key is cold turky if you put nicoteen in your body in any way you will fail its inevitable. remember dieng of lung cancer will suck, good luck.   -clokey

Quit smoking?  The best is to cut down at first.... only smoke when you drink or if you are stressed-out or something.  You soon begin to realize you don’t need it. \nIf you want to quit cold-turkey - all at once - it's something you need to DECIDE to do.  Chew on some pencils and play with a rubber band.  If you are really physically addicted, the best is a nicatrol in haler.  It is something to do with your hands, feels like smoking (almost) and you get the nicotine.\nQuitting smoking is mostly mental.  You have to decide to do it and just do it.

you started on your own no one to help you pick up that first one and Now the only way to stop is to STOP... I quit 9 weeks ago and feel great I tried the commit lozenges, the patch and all of it was an excuse to need one more cig. Finally one night in my EMT class this girl looked at us when we came in from break and said why do you do that yourself and your children... I quit I am not saying quit for someone else that won't work, but find something in your life that would be better or happier if you would quit and QUIT the first 3 days are rough, but trust me you make it through those 3 and your are GREAT....

you have to really be determind, and you cant give in to temptatioin. try doing somethhing that gets youmind off of it. every time you want to smoke go do something; shop, sport, talk, take a walk..........\nbut DO NOT SMOKE! \nThis site is what people think about using nicotine patches/ gum/ etc. to stop: http://health.yahoo.com/topic/smoking/\n\n\nThink of the consequences:\n-Death\n-cancer\n-emphasema (did you know you cant even blow out a candle)\n- You could get a stoma (hole in throat so you can breath) which will cause phlem to build up in throat, which will have to be removed each week\n-yellow eyes, nalis\n-smelly hair\n- you might need to carry around an air tank every where so you cant swim/do most sports/ every day things\n\nALSO DO NOT USE CHEWING TOBACCO AS A SUBSTITUE:\n-jaw cancer, tongue cancer, throat cancer, tooth dacay/loss, white sploches in mouth, bad breath, always overflow of spit, gum cancer.\n\nGOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes I totally agree with the last poster, I too believe that the only real way to give up smoking is just to drop it cold turkey, I took my last pack of cigarettes and threw them in the trash 1 week and two days ago and yes it is very hard at first, but it keeps getting easier every day and as long as you have someone to support you, you'll be fine. DROP THEM COLD TURKEY!

Yes!  Go to a website called WHYQUIT.COM  I smoked for over ten years and I really wasn't even ready to quit.  I met someone who was a smoker and he had used that website and shared it with me.  It is not easy; I tried gum, celery, chewing on straws, everything...you have to WANT to quit.  Go to the website and read it!!!  It is true and inspiring and helpful!  \n\nIt is worth saving your life!!!  Good luck!
