I was worried - By: Mark Corrigan, 27 Nov 2008 
I was worried that this wouldnt work for me. I have smoked for 5 years, & have tried to stop maybe 4 times for differing lengths of time. I would be proud of days that I went a day without a fag; it showed strength of willpower i suppose.
I read the 1 star reviews about this book, & they confirmed what I felt must be true all along - this must be too good to be true. What I now believe having read the book, & extinguished the final cigarette, is that these people do not want to give up. No book, no program, no personin this world is going to make you stop smoking - except yourself.
So the wayin which this book works. Well, as a smoker, you are aware of why you shouldn't smoke; i.e. the disadvantages. Smokers don't stop for these reasons though, otherwise we would all be non-smokers.
What is more interesting, is asking you to think (while smoking a cigarette) why you continue to smoke - i.e. the advantages. I can't list them here, that's what the book does, but as you read, you have a massive sense of realisation sweep over you. it is almost as though the truth about cigarettes becomes obvious.
I write this review, 18 hours after my last cigarette, feeling that I should be tearing my hair out dying for a fag. But instead I am feeling very positive about the next few days & beyond. I would recommend this book not just to people who wish to quit, but to people who smoke. The wayin which it is different is that it makes you realise all the positive reasons that a smoker uses to smoke are illusions.
As I say ignore the people who say this book isn't that good, it is certainly worth a try. A book is a book, & as an inanimate object it is not going to prevent you putting a cigarettein your mouth & lighting it. Open your mind to what cigarettes are doing for (not to) you.
Provides a positive push... but is ultimately devoid of 'real' insight - By: G. Robinson, 22 Nov 2008 
First thing to point out, I didnt read the book until a long time after I had successfully managed to quit by reading 'The Nicotine Trick'. Curiosity got the better of me to see just why Carr was the de facto smoking guru. From my perspective this book has succeeded mainly from the positive message it instilsin the reader & from persistant hammering home of the message. This can & has worked for many, but many aspects of the Easyway method have now been shown as bunk by Chris Holmes' marvelous book. It is definately worth a read, butin my opinion your money would be better spent on 'The Nicotine Trick' or 'Nicotine The Drug That Never Was'. These go further to the root of the problem rather than being mainly motivational (as Easyway is), & help you come out the other side understanding smoking better, and, providing the tools to quit successfully.
Ignore the 1 star givers!!!! - By: J. Cundill, 20 Nov 2008 Read this bookin 3 days & quit just like it said on the tin, been 3 weeks now & I already know i'll never smoke another cigarettein my life, & that feels amazing to say. Just like to also say that you MUST have an open positive mind to read this book, believe all that you are going to be told because 99% is true! If you start to disagree (you ARE kidding yourself) or have the opinion or feeling of "this won't work for me", "i'm too CLEVER for this to work on me", or "i knew all this already" (which I promise you don't, you may know some of it but not ALL of it, esp the STRESS/RELAXATION/BOREDOM part, because if you did you wouldn't smoke :0) like reading the 1 star givers posts seemed to have, then this won't work. However, if like me, you desparately want to stop then just givein to the book. Its not hypnotic like some 1 star givers have suggested, its just cold hard facts (a lot of which you will NOT know), & the reason for the repetition is that it is EASY WAY for the brain to store information (reasons for not smoking informationin this case). Call it brainwashing if you want, but if it stops you from smoking then surely it HAS to be Positive Brainwashing if ever such thing exists. Allen Carr has made a lot of money from this, but hell he deserves it, he may have prolonged more lives than any top surgeon could ever wish for. READ IT, GIVE IN TO IT, DON'T GIVE UP, STOP.
It works - By: Mr. R. F. Baker, 04 Nov 2008 I have been a 20-40 a day smoker for just over 20 years I have never realy tried with any great conviction to quit, I have tried to cut down but never give up even tho for the last 9 years I've hated smoking & what its done to my family. I started reading the book & half way through I new I was going to give up, Its hard to explain but it was almost like a revelation; the blinkers have been removed I can now see all the benefits of NOT smoking. Highly recommend this book even if you only have a 50% chance of succeeding it has to be worth it for the cost of the book.
Tried, Tested and Failed - But I Loved It! - By: Mr. G. S. Lulham, 27 Aug 2008 
Having read this book I should say from the outset that this method did not work for me, however, I have lent the book to over 5 friends of mine (Sorry!) & all have managed to as soon as finishing the book!!
I can honestly say that this is a very honest & well thought out method for quitting & am very happy I read it, because, ever since finishing it, whilst I haven't managed to break the habit... I have hated every cigarette since!!!
Well Done!! If your a smoker... Please try this!!!
