The Easyway method: How to stop smoking
Allen Carr’s Easyway to stop smoking method has been described as ‘a real smoker’s way to quit smoking’. You carry on smoking until you’re ready to stub out your final cigarette.
Easyway doesn’t focus on the downsides of smoking – instead the method answers the question “What’s so great about being a smoker?”
Understanding that is the key to how to quit smoking & being set free

Frequently asked questions
Which of your programmes is best for me? online video programme, seminar or book?
The seminar boasts the highest success rate of 90% and a full money back guarantee for smoking, alcohol and drugs. It’s the most powerful way of accessing Allen Carr’s Easyway method either at a centre or online via Zoom.
Our online video programmes allow you to stop when you want and where you want. It is not a seminar, neither is it a recording of one, but a standalone programme in its own right. Unlike our centre seminars you will not be able to speak directly with an Allen Carr’s Easyway therapist.
The book, audiobooks and apps allow you to go through the method at your own pace.
Why do I need the method? I can quit on my own
Statistics have shown that the success rate of quitting on your own is less than 3% after a year.
People have all types of erroneous perceptions about their addiction or issue.
The fact that you have been doing this for so many years does not mean that you understand how the addiction or issue mechanism works, in the same way that if you drive a vehicle, you won’t necessarily understand how the engine works. If you need help or a repair, you approach a qualified professional.
At Allen Carr, we specialize in helping people with addictions and issues. We have assisted tens of millions of people and set them free. The purpose of the programme is to share the data that we have accumulated with you and to assist you to perceive things truly and clearly, perhaps for the first time in your life.
The difference is not only in the significantly higher success rate than self-quitting, but also in the quality of quitting—the goal is to quit, but continue enjoying life without feeling a lack or sacrifice.
How successful is Allen Carr’s Easyway? / What is your success rate?
The success rate at Allen Carr’s Easyway Centres is over 50% after 12 months as indicated in independent scientific studies in peer review journals1.
It is also more effective than established government programmes including the gold standard NHS 1-1 service & the Irish Health Service’s Quit.ie based on two randomised controlled trials published in a peer reviewed journals.
What happens when you stop taking nicotine (smoking or vaping)?
When you stop taking nicotine whether through smoking cigarettes or vaping you will suffer withdrawal as for any drug. This page explains why, what you can expect and how bad smoking withdrawal or more correctly nicotine withdrawal will be.

What is the money-back guarantee?
Our Money Back Guarantee applies only to our seminars for smoking, vaping, alcohol, & 1-1 drugs.
The reason we offer a money-back guarantee is so that people can try our approach without a financial risk. We are unique amongst established smoking, alcohol and drug addiction cessation services in offering this kind of guarantee.
Less than 10% of our clients make a claim but as long as you complete the programme as specified in our terms below, we will be more than happy to refund your fee.
Does your skin pay a price for your smoking and vaping?
Yep. Cigarette & vape smoke contains carbon monoxide, which displaces the oxygen in your skin, and nicotine, which reduces blood flow, leaving skin dry and discoloured. Cigarette smoking also depletes many nutrients, including vitamin C, which helps protect and repair skin damage. You can be the most dedicated gym goer and have the strictest diet, but smoking will negate all that. And sadly an expensive skincare regime won’t be able to get rid of the tell tale signs of smoking.
