Trying to quit smoking (Allen Carr?)? -

Trying to quit smoking (Allen Carr?)? -

I heard of the Allen Carr book that helps people quit. What I wanted to find out (which seemed impossible over the rest of the internet) if its just things like -flush your colon (as in the kind where you actually goto somebody to do it for you)-, -go buy these pills-, -buy a ton of this exotic expensive stuff-. Is it like -hey this is why you shouldn-t smoke *shows pictures of lung cancer*-? I just wanna know if this information is gonna be useful, NOT expensive / sending me off to buy more stuff. (you can argue that smoking is expensive all you want, but thats why I-m quitting, a big part of it, not like I can afford to spend that money elsewhere)

Name of the book was -Allen Carr’s Easy Way to Stop Smoking-.I read this same book about 2 years ago.My mates mum gave it to me as it worked really well for her.She was a committed smoker to say the least.
Basically it questions the reasons why you smoke and what you actually get out of it.
It makes points such as smokers say they smoke to relax but are never truly relaxed as they are always waiting for the next ciggie.
It also says stuff like how all smokers feel crappy about doing it which I certainly did.

I was told to take a few weeks reading it but rushed a bit, when i quit I was very hyped up and felt great about quitting.
sadly I lasted about 3 weeks.
You just need to pick the right time and when you are ready just stop.I-ve been 8 weeks now and feel so much more relaxed,I didn-t make a big deal of it and just did it.
Don-t try to replace ciggies with anything else ,honestly just stop.You won-t regret it.
This book could give you a useful foundation.
Good luck!books like this tend to only question why one smokes in the first place

i myself found it easier for me to quit when i just quit buying them. but of course i went through nicotine withdraw and that does suck

was 14 at the time i quit, dont know if that helps any lol
