I read the Allen Carr book too
I scan read it in a day - skipping lots of parts that I didn't feel were relevant to me. I had one more fag after finishing it, and I've not smoked since (that was three or four years ago).
It is very like self-hypnosis though, lots of repetition over and over making the same point. Terrible read though,really awful, even read at speed.
I just latched on to one valid point it made and that has kept me off. That and the close and loving friendship of Mr Kipling for several months. (I gained two stone!)
No-one I've lent the book to has quit though, so I'm not quite as doughy eyed as some.
Anyhoo, before I bore myself to tears, when I initially read the first post, I thought it was Alan Carr, which would have been a very bizarre quit smoking idea.
