Summary: What can I say...it worked.
Comment: I purchased this book after reading about 50 positive reviews here on Amazon, still unconvinced that a book would undo 15 years of smoking. Well, I followed the instructions, and here I am: a non-smoker of 6 weeks. I must admit, you probably will have to want to quit smoking to accomplish this feat, but aside from having the desire, Allen Carr takes care of the rest. I am not sure how it works; it is my theory that the author hypnotizes the smoker into being a non-smoker through repetition. No matter how it works, I can breathe, and my fiance was pleasantly surprised with my dedication to non-smoking.
Give this book a try. You won't regret it.

Summary: Wasn't determined... but I was willing to want to be.. and it STILL worked!
Comment: I had quit years ago, several times. I just couldn't bring mself to start what would certainly be another failure. I enjoyed my cigarettes too much to gird up to tackle this problem again.
Then I saw a reference to this book on an online quit forum (a well meaning forum sponsored by the medical nicotine industry). I looked up the book, looked up Allen Carr's site... and was struck with all the hype. AND all the hype by celebrities. WAY TOO MUCH HYPE, I was sure. What was the deal???
Oh heck. The book was about $11 here, so I ordered it. I was curious. I was not planning; I was not determined; I was not hopeful. I was curious. And since I could smoke while I read.... what the heck.
The book arrived on Wednesday. I started reading immediately -- and was now real curious what the heck this Allen-person thought he was doing. I knew hypnosis by reading was impossible. And I noticed he was a bit repetitive. But then, I found myself re-wording some of the phrases he stressed so that they were MY words.
Long-story-short: By Sunday (I was taking my time reading) I was coming to the end of the book. When I got to the part where he said "Okay. This is it. You have to be 100% certain..." I realized I was NOT 100% certain... but I WAS about 96% certain. I wonder. Maybe it will work with 96% certainty. Okay... I'm doing it.
I quit on June 4, 2006, at 8:30pm. Allen Carr is right. I did not experience the suffering of withdrawals that I had the first times I quit the "old way". Here is one thing that I feel help me supremely: When I did feel a twinge, or an urge, or a sensation I related to 'wanting to smoke'... I turned my whole Attention INTO it. NOT away. NOT ignoring. Not avoiding. I FOCUSED on what I was really feeling, where I was feeling it, is it already gone??? (Most times, YES!) Instead of intensifying a desire, the 'urge' or twinge vanished or turned into a sensation or an emotion.. 100% of the TIME!!!!
NO nicotine has entered my body since that last cigarette. I am STILL AMAZED and deeply, deeply grateful.

Summary: i quit smoking right after i read this book
Comment: this book is full of helpful information on misconceptions about smoking. this book gave me a great deal of hope that i would be able to quit smoking at last. right after i read this book i smoked the last cig in my life and felt really good about quitting. i didn't feel any pain even the lil nicotine monster in my stomach urged me to smoke, i was enjoying that he was going to die soon. now i'm a non-smoker and feel really good about it. thanks allen!

Summary: Good Concept
Comment: I felt almost panicked when I neared the end of the book. I am still smoking. I will reread the book (as another person suggested). While reading the book I felt empowered, but something broke in the last few chapters.

Summary: Awesome read, and it works
Comment: When I was nineteen, I shipped to basic training. I was a smoker at that time and knew I was not going to be able to smoke for four months! I thought it was going to be horrible, but it wasn't. It was not hard to quit (not that I had a choice anyway), and I had no ill effects due to it. The first thing I did when I graduated was to buy a pack of cigarettes and picked the yucky habit right back up again.
Since then I have tried to quit literally hundreds of times since, and wondered why they were not easy like the time I went to basic training. The answers lied in this book. It is purely mental. Yes there is a small physical piece to quitting, but I truly believe for me the hardest part was the mental portion. This book gives you the proper mindset to quit smoking, and does that well.
Take it from a guy who has literally tried hundreds of times to quit, and thought I was what Alan Carr describes as a confirmed smoker, you can quit and enjoy it!
I have now been a non-smoker for two weeks. To those who have not yet read the book, that sounds like an incredibly short period of time. However, I know without a doubt that I will never place another cigarette to my mouth again. This is the best book I have read, as it has given my life back to me.
If you are a smoker in a various state of confidence of your ability to quit smoking, buy this book and read it, then read it again. I had to read it twice for some points to stick.
