THE EASYWAY TO GIVE UP

John Dicey, Worldwide Director of the Allen Car Easyway to Stop Smoking discusses how to give up smoking and lead a healthy smoke free life.

It kills you and your friends and millions of people across the world.  Every cigarette smoked contains more than 4000 known chemicals 30 of which are known carcigens.  The majority of smokers are well aware of these facts and the risks these chemicals put on their health yet they continue to smoke.  It is estimated that there are 12 million smokers in the UK, of which 114 000 will die of smoking related illnesses every year. 

However, despite these shocking statistics and the national ban on smoking in public spaces in England which came in to force on 1 July 2007, “kicking the habit” remains an obstacle for thousands to a happier and healthier life.  I myself understand how difficult it is to quit, as an ex 70 a day smoker I can most definitely identify with the feelings that anyone who is trying to give up is having!  With so many methods claiming to help you quit, its alomost impossible to try and find the right one.

Willpower?

Most methods of quitting smoking rely on the willpower of the smoker. Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) is based on a combination of supplying the smoker with their daily drug (nicotine), via an alternative product such as chewing gum, an inhaler, spray or patches, alongside the individuals willpower. Smokers inflict suffering on themselves when they try and quit via NRT.   The misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch is not addressed by NRT.

For most people the most common reasons for feeling depressed and low when trying to give up are the fears of what will happen when they stop smoking.  People questions whether they will feel out of place in social situations be less confident and the biggest worry for many is that they will put on weight, something which is in fact completely avoidable. 

NRT doesn’t even tackle the addiction – how can you cure addiction by giving the addict the drug to which they are addicted? Allen Carr Easyway to Stop Smoking technique is a proven, effective and drug free approach to quitting smoking that focuses on the reasons why a smoker smokes rather than why they shouldn’t.  By dismantling the myths and illusions that surround smoking – the desire to smoke and the need for willpower is also removed.

Expensive

The NHS spends £138 million on NRT every year which is essentially drip feeding the nicotine drug to the smoker, the emotional aspects of wanting to smoke are not challenged. What is more a pack of seven lozenges of the UK’s leading NRT gum is priced at £18. Imagine trying to persuade a 20-a-day smoker to spend over £30 pounds a day on giving up something they think they love! Allen Carr’s Easyway clinics and books offer, through a combination of cognitive psychotherapy and relaxation, a drug free straightforward and lasting chance to break the habit.

An Allen Carr’s Easyway seminar will last approximately five hours during which time a trained therapist will address the reasons why a smoker smokes. 

The success rate is over 90% based on the 3 month money back guarantee and independent studies confirm that even after twelve months the success rate remains over 50%. When compared to other methods this speaks for itself.  Allen Carr’s methods are so successful, that they are guaranteed, with free booster sessions for those that require them and the ultimate reassurance of a money back guarantee that the course will work.
