:"In general, we would summarise that Allen Carr Easyway is another quitting method that enjoys a good measure of popularity, however, where it fits in this perceptive summary from Dr Foulds ''Generally speaking, a 1-year quit rate above 10% is not bad, 20% is very good, and 25% is awesome'' unclear and debatable, unsubstantiated data from Carr's clinics claim 90% success rate in aiding smokers to stop for three months." | :"In general, we would summarise that Allen Carr Easyway is another quitting method that enjoys a good measure of popularity, however, where it fits in this perceptive summary from Dr Foulds ''Generally speaking, a 1-year quit rate above 10% is not bad, 20% is very good, and 25% is awesome'' unclear and debatable, unsubstantiated data from Carr's clinics claim 90% success rate in aiding smokers to stop for three months." | ||

:" | :"The bottom line is that anyone who claims they have a 80% or higher success rate in helping typical smokers to abstain long-term is kidding themselves or trying to fool you.

Generally speaking, a 1 year quit rate above 10% is not bad, 20% is very good, and 25% is awesome." | ||
