No Smoking Day: It's your turn to quit

What do Ashton Kutcher, Goldie Hawn and Ellen DeGeneres have in common? They all gave up smoking with the help of Allen Carr's Easyway. Try it today ...

Standing outside in the rain, huddled under a tiny umbrella and surrounded by a million other rather chilly people... It's fair to say that smoking is no longer as glamorous as it was.

So what better time to give up the cold-inducing, wallet-reducing habit than on National No Smoking Day?

Over 20% of women smoke cigarettes in the UK and a shocking 106,000 Brits die each year from smoking-related illnesses.

But it's never too late to give up as Michelle Jarrett, 30, from the West Midlands found out by using the Allen Carr method to kick her habit.

'In a nutshell, I feel great now I've quit my ten-a-day habit. 'I never realised what a detrimental effect smoking had on me, until I stopped,' the Project Manager said.

Michelle has been a non-smoker for two years now. The Allen Carr Easyway to quit smoking involves a five-hour clinic session - most people need just the one - that focuses on the reasons why we smoke rather than why we shouldn't.

Using a combination of psychotherapy and hypnotherapy, it removes the smoker’s belief that smoking provides any sort of genuine pleasure or crutch.

'I am now the person I always knew I could be. My life is no longer dictated by a routine of cigarette breaks. I've now got a fresh smelling home and more money to spend on shoes. I am also running 5-8k every other day - something I could never have managed before,' added Michelle.
