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.,

That's great that you WANT to quit!  That's half the battle right there!  Think about the baby you and your husband want to have someday...how healthy it will be if you don't smoke!  Smoking is an expensive, disgusting habit that is hard to break once you are hooked on nicotine.  If you haven't tried the patches that are available, ask your doctor for some help.  Put aside all the money you WOULD have spent on cigarettes and go on a trip!  Buy baby things!  And as far as gaining weight, be sure to have lots of veggies at home...carrots and celery, and lots of fresh fruit.  I don't buy junk food at all, because if it's here in the house, I WILL eat it!  If it isn't around me then I won't be tempted.  Try taking up a dance class or join a gym.  GOOD LUCK!!!!!  BE DETERMINED!

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.

You need to change your lifestyle, if you smoke : don't, if you eat junk food and fatty processed foods : don't, if you don't exercise regularly : do. Slimming down without feeling hungry will take time as you are probably used to eating enough to fill you up, this can be done by eating slower and eating things like pasta and rice(cooked if possible) in smaller portions than usual. Also avoid processed foods and eat fresh fruit and vegetables often if you can base your diet on this that would be good for a short period of time.

Maybe, but youll die sooner if you dont stop. I know ppl who have quit smoking and they are still thin. You can lose weight, if you begin to gain. So dont let being worried about getting fat be your only priority. Stop smoking for you, life, and family. I hope you do. Take care and good luck.

FIrst of you probably don't need to worry about the extra weight the cigarettes will probably kill you anyway, but if your really interested in losing a few pounds cut the calorie intake to 1200 to 1500 calories a day.  And walk, walk, walk.

smoke crack.\n\nJust kidding. The best way would to be to eat 3 healthy meals a day. Regular excercise, and plenty of water. Eating 3 meals a day actually increases your metabolism rather than eating 1 or 2 large meals at a time.

The following will work for you. You don't even need good luck.\nLocal hospitals offer week-long programs to make you quit smoking. Then you'll need this trick to not go back to it: Don't have that one cigarette for the rest of your life!\nPeople buckle under the intense urge for a cigarette and think that their problem will go away with one cigarette. But that just makes the problem go away temporarily, only to come back with a higher intensity.\nQuitting smoking feels like a loss of a loved one because to the brain it is just that - a loved one. So be prepared for the longing and the pain. Just endure it. It won't kill you. Actually, it will make you live longer.\nAdapt a new lifestyle i.e. eat fruits, go jogging, etc. Do whatever, but once you have gone through the week-long quit-smoking program, DON'T HAVE THAT ONE CIGARETTE NO MATTER WHAT. If you have that one cigarette, you fail and if you don't then you succeed. It is that simple. You do need that week-long program to launch yourself into the wonderful world of non-smoking though. \nOne more thing: you may need to keep the company of non-smokers for a while i.e. at least one year.

not if you realize the fact that you might eat to take the place of smoking and only eat healthy snacks like fruits and vegetables or drink a lot of water or chew gum or get one of those plastic cigarettes from cvs that helps you put something in your mouth besides smoking a real cigarette it has a little nicotine to help ween you. but once you quit you will have more energy for excercising so take advantage of it and that wil help you not gain weight also.

Quitting smoking does slow your metabolism.  It's also a mental thing.  You keep yourself occupied by eating so you won't obey the crave to smoke.  Think about this heath benefits though... Charred lungs, or a larger waistline.  You choose.  \n\nI gained 35 lbs. when I quit, after 11 years of smoking.  But I began to walk and excercise and I lost it all.  \n\nGo for it.  Walk over to that garbage can and throw those things out!  You did it before and you can do it again!  The longer you wait, the slower your metabolism is.  (the older you get)\n\nDiet and excercise is the best way to boost the metabolism.

I was able to quit and didn't gain much weight. About five pounds and after three months I lost it.\n\nThe biggest weight gain I got from stopping smoking was the extra weight in my wallet because I am not giving up all my cash for cigarettes.\n\nThis sounds stupid but the thing I read that helped me the most was - "The urge for a cigarette only lasts a few seconds". I kept thinking about that and every time I wanted a cigarette and I would start thinking - a few seconds, a few seconds, a few seconds over & over. I would get distracted & forget to keep thinking it but I also forgot about the cigarette. The problem is when you first start quitting the urge comes often but gradually it dissapeared. I no longer miss them.
