I was finally able to stop smoking in Feb. 2011 after smoking for 10 years. I really do believe this book helped. Even if you aren't ready to quit you should check this book out. It's a no nonsense helpful book! I was finally able to stop smoking in Feb. 2011 after smoking for 10 years. I really do believe this book helped.

This really just feels like an extra large pamphlet to sell an overpriced 5 hour seminar.
It may seem like common sense, but it really is all about the attitude when you quit. This really did make a difference for me. Recommended!!
Haven't smoked since September 2007. Need I say more? Oh and I was a heavy smoker for 18 years. Thank you Allen Carr!! Haven't smoked since September 2007. Need I say more? Oh and I was a heavy smoker for 18 years. Thank you Allen Carr!! ...more
I decided to stop smoking after getting over the flu - since I noted how I didn't miss my precious cigarettes while I was ill.
But I knew I'd likely start again soon if I didn't make a change. A good friend recommended this book to me and claimed it had helped her quit four months ago.
Previous to reading 'Easyway' I was only going to stop for the health reasons, still believing it would be something to 'give up' rather than something to be rid of. I even claimed to like it, as many do.

It's now my eleventh day in and it doesn't feel hard at all, even though I'm actually surrounded by heavy smokers a lot.
I'm turning 26 and this year in september it would have been my 12th year of smoking.
I'll give my copy of the book to my best friend who also told me she wants to quit but don't know if she can do it.
As Carr states in his book: If you're a smoker just give the book a try. You have nothing to lose and everything to win!

I quit smoking about a month ago after reading Allen Carr's Easy way for women to stop smoking. I knew going into it that I was going to quit on the day that I did no matter what. The first couple of days that I quit no book, patch, pill or anything other than a coma could have made easy. I was angry, I was aware that I wanted to be unkind.
After the first couple of days though... the ideas in this book started to play out in my mind. I would see people smoking and I didn't want one. I was able
I quit smoking about a month ago after reading Allen Carr's Easy way for women to stop smoking. I knew going into it that I was going to quit on the day that I did no matter what. The first couple of days that I quit no book, patch, pill or anything other than a coma could have made easy. I was angry, I was aware that I wanted to be unkind.
After the first couple of days though... the ideas in this book started to play out in my mind. I would see people smoking and I didn't want one. I was able to be around people when they were smoking (my husband and other family) and I had zero desire to smoke. This book helped me to change the way that I thought about smoking. I wasn't sad that I quit, I was relieved.
I did recommend this book to my family. I don't know that it will work for them because I think that you have to make the decision to be done smoking before you quit.

So... if you follow each step perfectly then you will quit smoking forever, that's what this book boasts.. However, if you read the book all the way through, the last step is to never smoke again. WELL OF COURSE YOU'LL BE SUCCESSFUL IF YOU FOLLOW ALL THE STEPS! One of the steps is to succeed! ... Let's just say, I wasn't impressed with this method. However, the book does bring up some nice common sense that smokers don't usually think about.. so 3 stars it is!

Strangely enough, this book seems to have worked. I thought it was pretty monotonous when I was reading it, but I have gone over a week without a cigarette, and honestly, other than a few cravings a day or two after I stopped, I haven't missed them at all.

It worked for me! I'm now on day 6 of being a non smoker - I'll admit I wasn't convinced when I bought this book, but it cost a lot less than a packet of cigarettes so I thought I'd give it a go.
Let's hope this is a lifetime change!

Honestly didn't even finish the book. I loved the positive approach and the fact that it was concerned with mental aspect of smoking. Cons: repetition and boring.

Yes, it was repetitive but it really helped to get the main points ingrained into my head. And hey smoking is repetitive too, so I'm not gonna complain about that! While I have not read any of the previous editions, the "for women" part seems a bit gimmicky. Aside from the chapter dedicated to smoking dyrng pregnancy and the letter excerpts from women, I'm not really sure how it targets women. Nonetheless, after a couple of weeks of struggling with willpower methods I picked this book up and rea Yes, it was repetitive but it really helped to get the main points ingrained into my head.

Nonetheless, after a couple of weeks of struggling with willpower methods I picked this book up and read it as fast as I could. Even before finishing I noticed that my desire to smoke was decreasing, the taste was horrible, and I knew this was the tool I needed. Although I didn't feel like smoking that final cigarette, I did, and it was disgusting. ...more
Excellent book - doesn't say anything you don't already know but makes you think about why you're smoking and how much you actually need to smoke. I've quit many times using patches and lozenges ( with a sly cig here and there) and always felt like I'd given up something against my will. Now I'm not using any NRT's and generally feel quite happy about quitting, although there are still days when I've thought about buying a pack.

Considering that the author is a man, I was skeptical about anything he'd have to say about quitting smoking for women. Fortunately, he did collaborate with a woman who definitely made an impact on this book!While I haven't quit smoking, I have read this book. And I will be reading it again in January, to quit for good.

I would recommend Allen Carr's Easyway to any smoker who wants to stop smoking - it works and it doesn't make you feel deprived..unlike everything else out there.I'd recommend Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking rather than this specific one for women. They will both work but the first one is better organized.

Amazing common sense approach to breaking down the blatant lies we have been taught and repeated to ourselves to justify smoking. Liberating!! Unbelievable that I got the confidence and tools to quit smoking from a book that breaks downs all the lies that have been so ingrained in us to make us feel powerless to ever quit.
Amazing Amazing Amazing When Allen carr says he will show you the easy way to stop smoking that he does in such a great easy way thankyou so much for making it so clear and not using will power your a amazing person .I hope other smokers will read this , I am now free from that horrible little monster that plays horrible games with your mind whilst slowly killing you.
I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to want to quit smoking. It gives you a pretty good perspective shift and makes you think twice about the reasons why you smoke. It's a pretty good mental preparation tool. Don't ask me about it for about five days, though... I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to want to quit smoking.

We will see, we will see. However have to say that the book is actually well written and interpreted. Also thumbs up for audio version. I was explained what and idiot I was for over 10 years, so now I will starting my new chapter :)
The premise makes sense. I like the ideas in the book. Kind of went on and on. Drove me nuts a bit. Reading this for my sister. She's reading it too. Hope it helps. I'm not sure she wants to be a non-smoker bad enough The premise makes sense. I like the ideas in the book. Kind of went on and on. Drove me nuts a bit. Reading this for my sister.

What interested me the most was the method he uses to convince so many people to let go a bad habit. I must admit this method is quite interesting and rather logical. Would recommend reading for non-smokers interested in human psychology as well.
I could have quit without this book, of course, but chose to have it guide me - and it absolutely worked.
Allen Carr was an author of books about quitting smoking and other psychological dependencies including alcohol addiction. He quit smoking after 33 years as a hundred-a-day chain smoker.
