Allen Carr's Easyway has the highest success rate by far of any stop smoking method. A study published in the journal Addictive Behaviors in November 2006 shows that the 12-month success rate for a smoker attending the five-hour Allen Carr's Easyway Seminar is 53.3%.
To put this in context (see chart) Allen Carr's Easyway is between 6 - 10 times more effective than other methods?and far cheaper than many which require ongoing purchases of aids such as pills, nicotine patches, etc.
