"The easy way to stop smoking"
Alan Carr

Best book I've ever read. It worked for me and many many many people I know. I don't know one person who has read it and continues smoking.

    I read it and still smoked for 5 years after. I guess i just wasn't ready. I did quit last August cold turkey so i guess that's something.

    Obviously doesnt work for everyone. So now you do "know" someone who it hasnt worked for.

    Actually I don't "know" that person and I'm not "sure" why that was in quotes.

    Thank you for your open hostility. I'm not sure what I did to upset you, but I can't be more sorry.

    I read that book too and it worked for me. I quit in October of 2011 and will never smoke again. I wish all smokers would read that book, seems so simple. My boyfriend and best friend also read it and are now ex-smokers too. The only people I know that it doesn't work for is the people that don't bother to finish it.

    I wish there was a "Easy Way to Stop Being a Fat-*kitten*" book. Way harder to lose weight than quit smoking, IMO.

    I read the book but didn't quit.

    I learned a lesson from the book though. You're not going to give up smoking until you yourself are ready.

    I quit in March 2011, 2 years next month! Woop! :)

    Speaking of that. I was heading out for a smoke about 1/2 an hour ago and got distracted. Thanks!

    Me too :)

    Also a huge fan of the book and to the person being hostile- I wouldnt have read the book if people like the OP hadnt posted threads like this so rap it, they are only trying to help others.

    I actually didn't even realize I quit smoking cigarettes while reading this book. Yes, I had an e-cigarette, but by the end of the book, I had quit it all!!! That book is amazing!!! This man knows his stuff!!!

    Yes, I will. I quit cold turkey when I was 30 and didn't smoke again for over 18 years. Now I'm just a rebel. :smokin: :smokin: :smokin:

    I read it and quit for 41 days. Then failed. But I'm reading it again.

    Champix tablets (3rd go, I think) still off them 636 days later, saved myself £3056.00 so far, not smoked 9550 cigarettes and wouldn't go back if you paid me

    *I have an app on my phone that tells me all those statistics and health benefits ;-)

    EcigPros.com - My mom has COPD and would smoke anything and everything she could get her hands on. I live in Florida, so I was able to find this Electric Cigarette for her. It has refillable cartridges. She has been using it now for 8 months (she will never quit smoking as she has the beginning of dementia) and this delivers a full puff of "smoke" - water vapor. I have tried it and its quite delightful........the thing is, you can buy the liquid to put in the cartridges at anywhere from 36mg of nicotine all the way down to zero........it has helped alot of people.......Just my two cents:)

    ** oh, and the turn around delivery for the mail order is only a couple of days.......if you email them questions, they get back to you in the same day......good luck honey......I know how hard it is to quit.......former 2 pack a dayer.......quit almost 20 years now.

    Great book! I read it a couple of times. I wasn't successful quitting directly after reading it. But it did help in my process.

    What actually helped me finally quit was group therapy and Chantix. Through a wellness center associated with a hospital here in Chicago, they had an 8 week group therapy session coupled with a prescription for Chantix.

    I originally had major problems with hellish lucid terror nightmares on Chantix. But then I cut the dosage in half. I still had some pretty weird vivid dreams but they weren't scary like before. I figured whats worse, a couple months of funky dreams and being smoke free for the rest of my life or NOT having weird dreams and slowly killing myself by continuing to smoke.

    The skills, concepts and mindset I learned from the Alan Carr book really really helped though!
