"The health and safety of our employees is our number one priority and
we are always looking to promote general health. We decided to support
any member of the Works' team who wanted to undertake the Easyway
programme and are delighted by the results. With all of those who took
part in the scheme now smoke-free, I am happy to recommend this
programme to smokers and their employers alike. "

"Total E & P UK PLC recognises the health and business benefits
of reducing smoking in the workplace. Total has a smoking policy which
is intended to be equitable to both smokers and non-smokers, but which
actively encourages smoking cessation.
We have used a number of techniques to encourage smoking cessation in
the past (e.g. patches, laser therapy) and, more recently, have used
the Allen Carr Easyway technique both onshore and offshore.
In terms of average success rate it is clear that, for us, the Allen
Carr Easyway technique has shown an advantage over the other methods
which we have tried. It has also been well received by staff who have
taken part in the sessions we have organised".

"We first introduced Easyway to Kwik-Fit Financial Service's staff last
year after being impressed with the Easyway approach. Not only have
many of our staff stopped smoking as a result of attending the Easyway
session, but the appeal of Easyway was far greater than with other
methods.
From the 25 people who attended our first session 11 months ago, around
75% are still non-smokers! We have scheduled another session and will
look to further sessions in the coming months.
As a company we recognise the health and financial benefits associated
with helping our staff to stop smoking and we are very happy to be able
to offer these sessions as a benefit not only to our staff but their
family and
friends as well!"
