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.

I used Chantix after smoking for 16 years and many many attempts to quit. I've never heard of the book, but wanted to pop in and say congratulations on kicking the habit. However you can do it, it's never easy.
I've been smoke-free since November 20127 -
I quit 3 years ago with that book ....I smoked for 20+ years ...it was the best thing I did for myself
Congrats to both of you for quitting8 -
I have tried other methods before...and they were not easy however with his book it was easy...and many others who have read it say the same thing. Congrats on you 2 for quitting as well.2

I quit several times as well ....I quit for 9 months when I was preggo with my daughter but as soon as she was born I started again....nothing helped me kick the habit until I read that awesome book by Alan Carr4

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.1

I saw the price for cigs is going up to 8.00 a pack for name brands and 6.00 for generic brands here is California on April 1st ...that is some crazy *kitten* ..sooooooooo glad I quit2
-
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.3
-
I'm going to look into this. Thanks for posting. Cigarettes here in Chicago are $14 a pack!2

Thats crazy! I really hope the book works for you!0

I was a pack a day smoker for 30 years... Gave it up a few years back and haven't have one since.. Mind you, I went to vaping.. I still vape but soon that will be finished as well...1
-
So...what is the book about?0
-
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.2

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.1

He is totally against replacements... And he explains why... I recommend you give the book a read... You wont regret it.0 -
Congratulations! I just made a post the other day about quitting it's almost been a year for me. Non-smokers unite! Isn't one of the best decisions ever?2

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!2

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.3
