EasyWay is a method developed by Allen Carr to help people quit smoking. The method is based on a series of books, seminars, and clinics that aim to change the way smokers perceive smoking, making it easier for them to quit without the need for willpower, substitutes, or withdrawal symptoms.

Overview[edit | edit source]

The EasyWay method was first introduced in Allen Carr's book, The Easy Way to Stop Smoking, published in 1985. The book has since been translated into multiple languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide. The method has been expanded to address other addictions and issues, such as weight loss, alcoholism, and fear of flying.

Principles[edit | edit source]

The core principle of EasyWay is that smoking does not actually provide any genuine pleasure or crutch, and that the belief that it does is an illusion. The method focuses on:

  • Understanding the psychological aspects of addiction.
  • Dispelling myths about smoking and nicotine addiction.
  • Addressing the fear of quitting and the perceived benefits of smoking.
  • Providing a clear, structured approach to quitting.

Books and Publications[edit | edit source]

Allen Carr authored several books on the EasyWay method, including:

  • The Easy Way to Stop Smoking
  • The Only Way to Stop Smoking Permanently
  • Allen Carr's Easy Way to Control Alcohol
  • Allen Carr's Easyweigh to Lose Weight

Seminars and Clinics[edit | edit source]

EasyWay seminars and clinics are conducted worldwide, offering a more interactive and supportive environment for individuals looking to quit smoking. These sessions are typically led by former smokers who have successfully quit using the EasyWay method.

Effectiveness[edit | edit source]

Studies and testimonials suggest that the EasyWay method has a high success rate, with many individuals reporting long-term cessation of smoking. However, the effectiveness can vary from person to person.
