Allen Carr Clinics Warn Consumers About New Liquid Smoking Drink

Liquid Smoking, a new fruit-flavoured herbal drink that claims to be an alternative to cigarettes, is not designed to help smokers stop their habit but cheat the smoking ban, according to Brenda Sweeney, director of Allen Carr’s Easyway To Stop Smoking clinics in Ireland.

The product is expected to hit the shelves before Christmas and claims to deliver a similar fix to cigarettes.

United Drinks and Beauty Corporation, inventors of this drink, hope that it will go on sale just in time for Christmas. They say that the drink doesn’t contain nicotine, but instead has a mix of roots from South African plants. The company hopes Liquid Smoking to be as popular as Red Bull in bars and used as a mixer in drinks.

Martin Hartman, chief executive of the company, said there was no research proving the drink was harmful in any way. He said the company is waiting for clearance from health authorities in Holland to be able to sell the product in Europe and quickly roll out across the globe as there is a queue of interested parties looking for the distribution rights from different parts of the globe.

However those who help smokers quit the habit such as Brenda Carr from Allen Carr Easy Way Clinics are not happy. “The drink is targeting those smokers who want a replacement to cigarettes inside public premises, where it is no longer possible to smoke, due to the smoking ban,” explains Sweeney. “People shouldn’t think this product will help them stop smoking. It is just a temporary replacement for those who are really craving a cigarette in the pub but have no intention of stopping. It is encouraging the habit, more than fighting it.”

The drink doesn’t contain nicotine but a distilled mix of roots, with similar properties to nicotine. “The product hasn’t got the clearance from the relevant health authorities so we will have to wait and see if it will get approved, as for now we don’t know exactly what effects will have on the consumers,” adds Sweeney.

“We welcome any new healthy alternatives to help people stop smoking. However, we don’t consider this product will have any benefits for those who are genuinely trying to stop smoking. We strongly recommend they don’t replace cigarettes with another form of nicotine or, indeed, other substances that might create the same level of addiction.”

Allen Carr’s method is drug-free, instantaneous and easy. It works by undoing the brainwashing associated with smoking. The therapy lasts for five hours and the clinics offer a three month money back guarantee.

  

Celebrities who have used the Easyway method include actors like Sir Anthony Hopkins, Sean Bean, Ellen DeGeneres and Julie Christie, and musicians like Johnny Cash, George Harrison and Lisa Stansfield. Virgin founder Sir Richard Branson is also among Allen Carr’s method’s fans.

 

The Irish Easyway clinics are held in Dublin and Cork and also offer a corporate service. Easyway’s corporate clients include ESB, AXA, Waterford City Council, among many more.

Gum Disease and Smoking

Dental researchers at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, observed a group of cigarette smokers with chronic gum disease over one year and found some symptoms were more likely to improve in the people who quit during the study period.

Chronic gum disease, which is characterised by inflamed gums that increasingly recede from the teeth, can lead to tooth loss in its advanced stages if preventive action is not taken.

The researchers’ findings, revealed today in the academic publication, the Journal of Clinical Periodontology, therefore provide yet another reason for smokers worldwide to quit their habit for the good of their health.

Statistics show that smokers are still up to six times more likely to develop gum disease than non-smokers, because the detrimental effect the habit has on their body’s immune system makes them less well-equipped to fight back.

Smooking Becoming a Distant Memory

I am heading away for the weekend with my two boys and looking forward to not being under pressure to find an opportunity to have a smoke.  Smoking is becoming more of a distant memory although I still have some cravings they don’t last as long and are manageable. 

As mentioned before the most immediate benefit is feeling much better when I waken up in the mornings – getting up is not as difficult as it was and I have more energy.  Didn’t get a chance to have a run this week but intend to get back into it after the weekend.

Richard Branson Used the Allen Carr Method to Quit

Have a look at Richard Branson talking about how he gave up cigarettes using the Allen Carr method. Also read the comments underneath the video as they are very inspirational!

Financial gain from quitting cigarettes

It is nearly 4 weeks since I quitted. I used to smoke 30 a day.

In the recent budget a box of 20 increased by 50c to €8.05. Therefore I am saving €12.00 per day. I have calculated that I have saved  a total of €360 since I quit. There are 6 more weeks to Christmas which means I will have saved a total of €900 by then.

 That €900 saving will more then cover the Christmas presents for my 2 young sons. In addition to feeling the health benefits  I also feel the financial ones.

Is there an easyway to give up smoking?

 Allen Carr Easy Way Clinics uses no gimmicks or aids, is equally effective for heavy or casual smokers, and requires little or no willpower and you needn’t even put on weight. All Allen Carr therapists are ex-smokers who used the method themselves to get free. They don’t lecture you on all the reasons you shouldn’t smoke (you know them already) instead, they destroy the illusions that keep you smoking and show you how to get free! It is the opposite of the willpower method that concentrates on the reasons you shouldn’t smoke: the health, the money, the slavery, and the stigma. They focus instead on why you continue to smoke in spite of the obvious disadvantages.

More Energy

I was out for a run again last night and it is getting easier. My energy levels are a lot greater. My wife told me yesterday that she sees a big difference in me.

I am delighted with myself so far.

2 Weeks After Quitting Cigarettes

It is now just over 2 weeks since I stopped smoking.

 Already my quality of life is much better.

 Starting from the time I wake up. I do not have any difficulty getting out of bed. I feel more energetic and I am finding I am not drinking as much coffee which is a bonus.  I used to associate smoking with coffee drinking .

I use my car for work. It is much nicer getting into a car that doesn’t smell of cigarettes. I am beginning to smell the leather seats  again which was something I remember  smelling when my car was new.

I am much more confident going into business meetings. I used to worry that the client might get the smell of cigarettes off me.

So far so good!
