Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking

Smoking is not a habit or a pleasure. It is drug addiction and a disease.

Try to see it another way: the ‘habit’ is a continuous chain for life, each cigarette creating the need for the next. When you start the ‘habit’ you light a fuse. The trouble is, YOU DON’T KNOW HOW LONG THE FUSE IS. Every time that you light a cigarette you are one step nearer to the bomb exploding. HOW WILL YOU KNOW IF IT’S THE NEXT ONE?

Most of us can look back at some illness or accident in our lives when we prayed to get better. (HOW SOON WE FORGET.) By being a smoker you are not only letting rust get in and doing nothing about it; you are systematically destroying the vehicle you need to go through life, and you only get one.

Smokers tend to avoid exercise and get into the habit of shallow breathing in order not to cough.

The worst thing we ever suffer from is fear, and the greatest gain you will receive is to be rid of that fear.

greatest gains from stopping are psychological, and for varying reasons they include:

The return of your confidence and courage
Freedom from the slavery
Not to have to go through life suffering the awful black shadows at the back of your mind, knowing you are being despised by half of the population and, worst of all, despising yourself

Smokers do not smoke because they enjoy it. They do it because they are miserable without it.

beautiful truth is:
IT IS EASY TO STOP

Not surprising really, no one needs cigarettes to enjoy meals or cope with stress before they get hooked.

smokers attempt to rationalize why they smoke but all of the reasons we use to justify our smoking are excuses or based on myths, fallacies and illusions.
