Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why should I come to a clinic?

  • There is a money back guarantee
  • The result is immediate for you. You quit there and then with the certainty you have all the tools to ensure that you never have any desire to smoke ever again.
  • You may ask questions as they arise, to which you will get a straight, live answer from someone who was in the same position as yourself.
  • You will be given a strategy to help you break down and remove fears and doubts which in the past sucked you back into the temptation of smoking.
  • You can take advantage of two free booster sessions and telephone support. Only a minority of clients ever need this, but it is there as a safety net for you.
  • Allen Carr's Easyway method is almost 9 times more successful than nicotine replacement therapy alone.

Q. What happens at the session?

  • You arrive 15 minutes before the start and register.
  • A fully trained therapist conducts the session with a group of 10 to 15 attendees in a relaxed and informal atmosphere.
  • There are regular smoke breaks during the session. You are not ready to stop before the end of the session so you can smoke during these breaks if you want to.
  • Don’t worry! You won’t have to stand up and talk about yourself!
  • At the end, you smoke your last cigarette and leave the session as a non-smoker!

Q. Can I still socialise / enjoy life when I stop?
Of course you can! Remember you are not going to stop living; you will be freeing yourself from an addiction that has controlled you since you first started smoking. Non-smokers enjoy meals, drinks, holidays and social occasions and so will you. You have just forgotten what it’s like to be a non-smoker.

Smokers that quit with the Allen Carr method leave as happy non-smokers, not feeling deprived but with a huge sense of relief and elation that they have finally achieved what they always wanted . . .  TO BE FREE!!

Q. What about the terrible withdrawal pangs from nicotine?
The physical withdrawal from nicotine is so slight most smokers don’t realise they are addicts. What smokers suffer when they try to quit using other methods is the misery and depression caused by the belief that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch.

The Allen Carr method removes the need and desire to smoke. Once you are in the right frame of mind and follow the simple guidelines given during the session, the physical withdrawal from nicotine is hardly noticeable.

Q. What aids do you use?
NONE! We do not use any gimmicks, useless aids or substitutes. No nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, tabs, inhalers or nasal sprays! No needles! No lasers! No drugs! No herbs! No shock treatment!

Q. Why is the Allen Carr method so successful?
We remove the smoker’s conflict of will (“I want to stop but I want to smoke!”) – There are no serious withdrawal pangs – It is instantaneous and easy – It is equally effective for long term heavy smokers and light smokers – You do not gain weight – You do not miss smoking.

Q. How many people are in one session?
We try and have groups of between 10 and 15 people as we have discovered that this gives the best group dynamic.

Q. Will I have to say anything?
Not if you don’t want to! There are plenty of opportunities to ask questions throughout the session and there are frequent checkpoints to ensure that everyone understands all of the points being raised. It’s completely up to you as to how much interaction you want with the therapist.

Q. Do I have to bring anything?
Your cigarettes and a lighter! There will be regular smoking breaks throughout the session, so please ensure that you bring enough cigarettes and a lighter with you.
