Allen Carr Stop Smoking

Carr teaches that smokers do not receive a boost from smoking a cigarette, and that smoking only relieves the withdrawal symptoms from the previous cigarette, which in turn creates more withdrawal symptoms once it is finished. In this way the drug addiction perpetuates itself. He asserted that the "relief" smokers feel on lighting a cigarette, the feeling of being "back to normal", is the feeling experienced by non-smokers all the time. So that smokers, when they light a cigarette are really trying to achieve a state that non-smokers enjoy their whole lives. He further asserted that withdrawal symptoms are actually created by doubt and fear in the mind of the ex-smoker, and therefore that stopping smoking is not as traumatic as is commonly assumed, if that doubt and fear can be removed.

At Allen Carr Clinics during stop-smoking sessions, smokers are allowed to continue smoking while their doubts and fears are removed, with the aim of encouraging and developing the mindset of a non-smoker before the final cigarette is extinguished. A further reason for allowing smokers to smoke while undergoing counselling is Carr's belief that it is more difficult to convince a smoker to stop until they understand the mechanism of "the nicotine trap". This is because their attention is diminished while they continue to believe it is traumatic and extremely difficult to quit and continue to maintain the belief that they are dependent on nicotine.

Allen Carr's Easyway is clinically proven through two randomised controlled trials. In 2020 a UK randomised clinical trial found Allen Carr's Easyway as good as, if not better than, the Gold Standard NHS Programme which uses NRT & 1-1 psychological support[5] and in 2018 an Irish trial found that Allen Carr's Easyway was almost twice as effective as other smoking cessation methods available on Health Service.[6]Based on their full money-back guarantee (which requires two follow-up sessions without reimbursement of travel), Carr's clinics claim 90% success rate in aiding smokers to stop for three months, and 51%[7] success rate in helping smokers stop for 12 months based on an independent study not connected with any health organisation. Celebrity endorsements include Richard Branson, Anthony Hopkins, Ashton Kutcher, Ellen DeGeneres, Nikki Glaser, Chrissie Hynde, Michael McIntyre, Pink, Jason Mraz, Charlotte Church and Hrithik Roshan which aids the organisation's efforts to expand commercially.[8]

Allen Carr's Clinics are run by facilitators who were once smokers and have used Carr's method to stop smoking. All therapists/facilitators are members of an association created by Allen Carr's Easyway organisation, Members of the Association of Allen Carr Therapists International (MAACTI), and membership indicates that the therapist/facilitator has completed the rigorous recruitment, and the comprehensive training & development process required before anyone can practise as an Allen Carr's Easyway therapist/facilitator. They can only do so under license with Allen Carr's Easyway (International) Ltd or Allen Carr's Easyway (US) Ltd.

Carr also wrote a number of other how-to books on subjects such as losing weight, stopping alcohol consumption, and overcoming the fear of flying. Along with his close friends, protgs, & co-authors Robin Hayley (chairman, Allen Carr's Easyway) & John C. Dicey (Global CEO & Senior Allen Carr's Easyway Therapist), he wrote books dealing with gambling, debt/junk-spending, sugar addiction, emotional eating, mindfulness, tech/smartphone addiction, caffeine addiction, vaping/JUUL with Online Video Programmes handling smoking, vaping/JUUL, alcohol, cocaine, cannabis, sugar & carb addiction, emotional eating, gambling, caffeine addiction, fear of flying, and mindfulness. In 2020, it was estimated that Allen Carr's Easyway method had helped more than 50 million people worldwide.[9][10] In 2021, Allen Carr's Easyway assisted the World Health Organisation's year-long global campaign for World No Tobacco Day 2021.[11]

It is plausible that the differences in percentages abstainers in the conditions can be attributed to the ACt provided in companies. Moreover, in our view it is less plausible that the large or robust differences can be explained by factors we did not assess. In addition, the expectancy challenge strategy that comprises the main ingredient of the ACt has been shown to be effective in reducing alcohol consumption, strongly suggesting that it has potential to induce behavior change. In conclusion, the present study reveals relevant clues that providing smokers with the package of ACt in companies can be an effective smoking cessation strategy, although uncertainties inherent to the quasi-experimental design remain.

Some ex-smokers chose patches, gum or lozenges to help them kick the habit. Others chose Allen Carr.

The 72-year old anti-smoking campaigner, who helped luminaries such as billionaire Sir Richard Branson and actor Sir Anthony Hopkins quit, passed away from lung cancer on Wednesday. Like two of the Marlboro Man models who died of lung cancer, Carr's death is an irony of fate. He had a 100-a-day habit 23 years ago, before going on to become a multimillionaire by advising people on how to stop smoking.

With so much help and support available free of charge, there really is nothing stopping employers from super-charging their workplace quit smoking programme for both National No Smoking Day and as part of an ongoing, all-year-round employee health initiative. Even if an employer decides to pay for smoking cessation services at work, the return on investment from a successful quit smoking programme far outweighs the cost.

The largest and most authoritative research trial of its kind testing the Allen Carr's Easyway (ACE) method of quitting smoking has detected no difference in success rates between ACE and a specialist stop smoking service in the UK.

KENNEDY: Try to distract yourself. Do something fun. Or maybe one of the things you liked about smoking was going for a walk or just taking a break. You can still do that. Munching on crunchy things like carrot sticks might be helpful. Or use a toothpick. Or maybe you get physical, like Miyoshi Juergensen (ph) from Alabama.

KENNEDY: Just to state the obvious, a carrot or a pushup is not very much like smoking. But just remember that it is a finite time that you have to get through. And here is another way to think about it. These cravings are just a sign that you're freeing yourself from a horrible addiction. And that, of course, is a thing to celebrate.

This is a newish idea, but there's some evidence that new and exciting life events are linked to dropping the habit for good. Psychologist Mona Xu from Idaho State University studies the link between quitting smoking and engaging in things that are novel, exciting or challenging. She calls these self-expanding events.

KENNEDY: And while timing it to an exciting, active time could help, we should say that there isn't a bad time to think about stopping smoking. In fact, experts told us about recent research focused on smokers who said they weren't ready to quit. The researchers asked these smokers to use some of the quit-smoking medications anyway. And they found that this actually worked to increase the odds that the smoker who wasn't ready to quit would make a quit attempt in the future. So even if you're not prepared to set a quit date, there are things you can do to move yourself in that direction, like smoking one less cigarette than you did yesterday. Maybe just see how it feels.

Allen Carr has helped millions of smokers from all over the world and he can do the same for you.

Allen Carr (1934-2006) was a chain-smoker for over 30 years. In 1983, after countless failed attempts to quit, he went from 100 cigarettes a day to zero without suffering withdrawal pangs, without using willpower and without gaining weight. He realised 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. Allen Carr is now recognised as the world's leading expert on helping smokers to quit, having sold over 14 million books.

This enhanced eBook combines an updated version of his internationally best-selling Easy Way to Stop Smoking with a 75-minute audio epilogue from Allen himself, giving you all the expertise and support you'll need to become a happy non-smoker for the rest of your life.
