  • These clips are from the BBC: Horizon documentary series entitled "We Love Cigarettes". The advice Allen Carr gives is pretty darn good, it convinced me (a 5 year smoker) to quit cold turkey. It has been a couple months now and I'm still going strong.
    Update:
    It has been over one year since my last cigarette and I have never been tempted to look back. I really hope this simple advice has helped someone else.
    Update: 4/19/2013
    Still going strong here! Haven't slipped once! Really glad it has helped so many! Thanks Allen!
    Update: 5/10/2023
    Still smoke free and feeling as great as every! Thank you again Allen!

      Baica Marian I know how you feel. The intense cravings are difficult the first few days but trust me those cravings will go away after a few days. But if it’s really not manageable for you maybe you should not try to quit right now. Or try to simply reduce the amount of cigs you smoke each day for a while.

    I wish my parents would have heard of him and his book before cigarettes murdered them. Now granted in their defense, they were from the 1960's generation when smoking was commercialized on Tv as something sociable and back then for decades you could smoke in restaurants and airplanes, dentist offices etc... It was part of life.
    My mother got COPD and struggled for years with a breathing machine and sleep apnea and medications which made her life a living hell. She passed away in 2018 from it sadly. My father was a chain smoker and got diagnosed with lung cancer in 2021. He spent Christmas and New Years of 2022 at the Oncologist hospital with tubes and feeding and whatnot and finally passed away in midsummers last year. I am an only child and i am so devastated by all of it.... My grandparents lived until they were both over 90 years old and still in fairly functional health when they passed. They just passed from old age.
    But cigarettes really crippled and destroyed my parents and their quality of life throughout their life.
    But it says itself... What good can come from putting dangerous toxins into your body via your lungs, 20 to 30 times per day. And you expect to be healthy and have a quality life?...
    Everyone throughout the ages that is or has been a smoker, has wanted to quit.
    Give Allen Carrs book a chance! Read it! You have got nothing to lose but all to gain!
    Good luck!

    Everything he's saying is 100% true. Once Nicotine controls your life, it will impede everything. Anxiety, stress, boredom, concentration, restlessness, etc etc.... 8 years free from Nicotine from being an addict for close to 30 years, and grew up with cigarette smoking parents and in a time where you could smoke anywhere... Airplanes... Dentist offices etc.. , i just have to tell you... It is the absolute best thing that you can do for yourself.
    It got so bad for me with anxiety and the constriction in my legs, i had to almost undergo surgery. Because cigarettes were doing havoc in my body. I had leg pains for years from just standing some days. After i stopped little by little i started to regain my health to where i dont have almost any leg pain at all. The damage is still there but hopefully it will go away. One thing to remember vividly, is how it controls your quality of life. And how you will stink from it.
    Nicotine is a drug. And you are a drug addict. But you can stop it. Others have done it before you. You can as well.
    And for the record who can afford it anymore?.... 15 Euros per pack?.... Dont think so... But even if it was a cent per pack i would never put that filth in my body again! Never!
    Good luck.

    2 years Nicotine free. 730 days. 17,520 cigarettes not smoked. $6,307 saved. Thanks to The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. It wasn't EASY, but it was by far my EASIEST quit. And my longest quit after 13 years of smoking an average of a pack a day. Had maybe 8 or 9 cravings my first year. Can't remember my last craving. I am a happy non-smoker.

    Watched this video, marinated on it for about 3 weeks, and quit mid-day last week before a cross-country flight. No craving, no feeling of loss or panic, no reason to ever pick it up again. Didn't have to even read the book, just recognized it was all myths in my head about what quitting would be like (having quit before, 10+ years ago) again.
    Good luck to all smokers seeing this. It really is unbelievably easy once you see it for what it is. Enjoy your money on better things and experiences. Taste and smell and breathe fully again.
    **Update: 9 weeks nicotine-free. Not a single craving, no desire to go back, not even while drinking.**

      ***** Makes me sick today how old people treat young people like crap and say all these terrible things about them. And that's after abusing them and poisoning them with toxins all their lives. And then wondering why they didn't turn out 'better.' I think that the older generation should be embarrassed by the world that they have created. The kids are now born into an ecosystem that is collapsing due to abuse and exploitation. They have a heavy burden to bear, in addition to just being kids

    Thanks to this man and his book, I quit a life long wretched habit, I remember flicking away my last cigarette, mashing it under my shoe and knowing with absolute certainty I'd never smoke again. There were some failed attempts but it was like the other attempts were just getting me to that place. It's almost hard to believe I ever smoked, I could care less about it now. It's not about giving up, it's about reclaiming independence. Thanks again to this man and his book. Just a thing to ponder, I was disappointed to find many years later that the two people who'd recommended his book to me had taken up the habit again. It's not a magic book.

Its like dont think of pink elephants, dont scratch your arm all day: then you are dying to do so. But you dont really want to... you’ve just become ocd about it. I have the same skills as when i smoked. Except i AM far more relaxed now that i dont have a one hour timer starting again after every cigarette. I respect myself more which makes me not want to punish myself by smoking. Im telling you, smoking is nothing. Its a tiny itch that you’ve become obsessed about.... its not even very itchy.

      @SuperMisterKory 2 года назад +1

      ​@@AjejeB An excerpt from his book that explains the title: -
      "The act of drinking is not only natural, but essential for survival. Drinking alcohol is both unnatural and destructive. But we have been brainwashed to believe otherwise. Therefore casual drinkers do not have the same desire as casual smokers to be completely free. They believe they are in control, so why should they deny themselves what they consider to be a genuine pleasure? Chronic drinkers would love to be able to control their intake, but have learned by hard experience that it has to be all or nothing. In between there are the millions of drinkers who realise that they have a problem, but cannot face the prospect of life without alcohol; so they would also love to be able to control their intake.
      If you are one of those drinkers, the title was deliberately designed to mislead you into believing that there is an easy way to be what AA describes as a 'normal' drinker. I make no apologies for doing that. My sole objetive was to prevent you going through further misery only to reach the inevitable conclusion that it has to be all or nothing. Let me also make it clear that the title I have used is truthful. There is an easy way to control your drinking. It happens to be the only way to control your drinking: to be completely free!"
      So, don't let the title fool you, it absolutely is about quitting alcohol! Hope that helps :)

  • @Reborn_Mxrz
    @Reborn_Mxrz Год назад +2

    Here's the kicker... THIS DOESN"T JUSTY APPLY TO SMOKING! It applies to all addictions. Addiction to anything lines up perfectly with his descriptions. Whatever it is you're fighting. Alcohol, Cigs, Weed, Pornography, Fast food, etc. just know they all apply to this method. You gain nothing from continuing, you gain everything from quitting. You're not making a sacrifice, but rather taking back your life. If it's hard it not because you crave it, but rather that you believe you're giving up a good in order to get another good. That is not true. You always give up bad for good, and when you realize that you'll never go back to what it was that hindered your life to begin with. What a wonderful video and the actual idea surrounding the breaking of addiction. God Bless you all in your journey.

    Just on the off chance someone who's trying to quit see this... You're probably thinking you're not strong enough to quit or that it's an impossible task. You're probably thinking that you'll be bored or maybe anxious without nicotine in your life. I thought that too. I'm just about to hit 3 months without cigarettes after smoking 30-40 a day for 8 years and I don't miss them in the slightest. In fact the sheer thought of smoking repulsis me. I know in my heart I'm never going to fall back into that horrible trap that I once thought was going to kill me. You can do it too. You're stronger than you think you are and this is the first step in proving that to yourself. I believe in you. You are not giving anything up but you have everything to gain.
