Allen
Carr’s Easyway has been described as ‘a real smoker’s way to quit’. You carry
on smoking until you’re ready to stub out your final cigarette. Easyway doesn’t
focus on the downsides of smoking – smokers know all about those already.
Instead the method answers the question ‘What’s so great about being a smoker?’
Understanding that is the key to being set free.
