in Success Stories
For those of you who smoke and are wanting to quit I highly recommend:
Allan Carr's book The Easy Way to Stop Smoking....

I read it and have been smoke free for 7 months... And it was just as he said it would be... EASY.

No withdrawls. No weight gain. I can still be around smokers and instead of wanting one I am happy that I dont smoke anymore.. It was the best decision I ever made. His strategy is basically taking away all the brainwashing etc that come with smoking and replacing it with a new insight.

I figured I'd post my success story here in hopes it could help someone else better their health.
Buy the book its like 8 dollars and a couple 100 pages long... Took me like 4 hours to read... He even tells you not to stop smoking until you finished the book. If you buy the book and it doesn't work for you(which it has helped millions) well you lost nothing but if it does you have everything to gain.

    It is such an amazing book! I wish every smoker would just read it. They spend so much money on NRTs and for just like 8 bucks they could read a book and be free.

    I quite 10 years ago. At the time, the brand I was smoking was $6 a pack. But they where making my migraines so much worse, so in that sense it was easy to quite.

    I did the Allen Carr clinic and it's awesome! Best money I've ever spent. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to quit.

    He just brainwashes you out of why you think you have to smoke... In all reality there isnt an actual reason why someone has to continue smoking... The book is very repetitive and i think that plays a huge role in getting it to sink in... Then towards the end of the book something just clicks and you become excited about quitting... It was pretty insane i went into reading the book a bit skeptical however i read the reviews and for the most part it helped everyone quit... They all claim something just clicked... When he tells you at the end of the book to smoke your final cigarette i didnt even really want to... But i did and i have never looked back.

    He is totally against replacements... And he explains why... I recommend you give the book a read... You wont regret it.

    Vaping helps tons of people though. Makes it so easy to switch with a proper setup. I was able to quit with vaping. And kept lowering the nicotine lvl in the juice until it was no nicotine. Now I vape in social setting like bars but I never crave it or need it. I also make my own juices build my own coils and wicks so it only cost me a dollar or less a month.

    11 years smoke free and I believe it was this gentleman who said ' never ever take another puff.' it worked for me!

    I'll second the recommendation for this book. Over 5 years smoke free now and it was easy. The book takes the dread out of quitting and makes the experience better than I could have expected.
