“The health and safety of our employees is our number one priority and we are always looking to promote general health. We decided to support any member of the Works’ team who wanted to undertake the Easyway programme and are delighted by the results. With all of those who took part in the scheme now smoke-free, I am happy to recommend this programme to smokers and their employers alike.”

Alison Taylor, Health, Safety and Environment Manager, Lafarge Cement UK, Dunbar Works

“We have used a number of techniques to encourage smoking cessation in the past (e.g. patches, laser therapy) and, more recently, have used the Allen Carr Easyway technique both onshore and offshore. In terms of average success rate it is clear that, for us, the Allen Carr Easyway technique has shown an advantage over the other methods which we have tried. It has also been well received by staff who have taken part in the sessions we have organized”.

Robert Hirst, Operations Manager, Total

“We first introduced Easyway to Kwik-Fit Financial Service's staff last year after being impressed with the Easyway approach. Not only have many of our staff stopped smoking as a result of attending the Easyway session, but the appeal of Easyway was far greater than with other methods. From the 25 people who attended our first session 11 months ago, around 75% are still non-smokers! We have scheduled another session and will look to further sessions in the coming months.”

Janice Kerr, Human Resources Manager, Kwik-Fit Financial Services

“I am writing to officially thank you on behalf of the council for running the three Easyway to Stop Smoking sessions that have taken place so far under the banner of our Health at Work strategy. The feedback from all three sessions has been very positive, with the success rate of approximately 70%, which is more than we could have expected from other smoking cessation methods.”
