NICE found that the Allen Carr's Easyway Live Group Seminars were not only cost-effective but cost-saving when compared to existing treatments and that the evidence proving the effectiveness of the method is comparable to that which exists for 'nicotine e-cigarettes' which maintain the addiction.

NICE found that the Allen Carr's Easyway Live Group Seminars were not only cost-effective but cost-saving when compared to existing treatments and that the evidence proving the effectiveness of the method is comparable to that which exists for 'nicotine e-cigarettes' which maintain the addiction.
The Easyway live seminars, which can be taken "in the room" or via Zoom, comprise of a live presentation of the method delivered by a former smoker who used the method to quit themselves.
Once that flawed belief system is fully understood, smokers can actually enjoy the process of getting free from smoking.
These updated NICE guidelines should encourage health care providers to adopt Allen Carr's Easyway to Stop Smoking Live Group Seminars as an effective option for those quitting smoking."
