I have given up smoking 6 months ago , but ...

[Duty]

I understand your skepticism, but I swear on my mother's life it is the truth. We've had it drilled into us that quitting smoking is HAAAARD! - that's part of the brainwashing. I was a 30 a day smoker. Nicotine withdrawals are mild - that's the important thing to bear in mind - where as knowing you've smoked your last cigarette and are FREE from the dreadful slavery of smoking feels joyous and fantabulously wonderful! - especially during those first few weeks! - so on balance you feel bloody great, despite the mild physiological twitch of nicotine withdrawals. I'm not going into this further now - read/listen to the book and rid your mind of the smoking addiction enigma. Also please suspend your incredulity rather than calling me a liar until, at least, you have done so. There is a reason Allen Carr is fucking famous - because, for many, Easy Way is, quite literally, a lifesaver.

I didn't call you a liar. I called you delusional. I'm genuinely glad that you found some copy that jived with you and tricked you into believing that you felt no ill effects. It lacks empathy to pretend that there are no ill effects from the cessation of smoking and if you read the OP...

You did read the OP right?

This person is struggling with a very well-worn experience so for you to come in here with your magic feathers and snake oil...

It really is missing the point.

The delusion is thinking that it is necessarily hard to stop smoking. Given the massive deleterious effects of smoking (death/cancer/money etc etc etc) does it not strike you that smoking is a delusional cognitive error? If not HOW THE FUCK NOT?!?!?!? Easy Way erases the brainwashing/delusion which has been built into and building up in every addicted smoker. You have it the wrong way round RE the location of the delusion. Like I said, consume the book or stop slagging it off from your position of near total ignorance as to its contents, Rhizomorph13. It's really not a good look, from where I'm sitting.
