'Easyway' has just announced a partnership with WHO:- Allen Carr's Easyway Partners With the World Health Organisation for a Global Year-long Campaign to Support More Than 100 Million People as They 'Commit to Quit' Smoking https://www.prnewswire.co.uk/news-releases/allen-carr-s-easyway-partners-with-the-world-health-organisation-for-a-global-year-long-campaign-to-support-more-than-100-million-people-as-they-commit-to-quit-smoking-806429693.html?fbclid=IwAR3Kb9gvi7NUroMGE7CEN9fdjT1xA52LAQOK9YsQklsBF5FhXzEmnym5QL0

Its success rate

It should be noted that an RCT exists, [Controlled Trial Using Best-Selling Smoking-Cessation Book] that did not find that 'Easyway' was particularly, if at all effective

A RCT exists that is altogether more positive

Another very recent 2020 entry Comparison of Allen Carr's Easyway programme with a specialist behavioural and pharmacological smoking cessation support service: a randomized controlled trial is neutral in its conclusions 'There was no clear evidence of a difference in the efficacies of the Allen Carr's Easyway (ACE) and specialist smoking cessation support involving behavioural support and pharmacotherapy'.

A much older appraisal of 'Easyway' exists, produced by Dr Jonathan Foulds is shown

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.
