Unhappy Allen Carr dies

BBC NEWS | Health | Allen Carr dies from lung cancer



Has done one hell of a lot of good in his life and certainly stopped me smoking when all other methods had failed.

His writings are the best cure for insomnia that have ever been found. IMHO

But, he helped a lot of people to stop killing themselves, so he achieved something quite remarkable.

By his own admission he wasn't a writer and also apologised for being so dogmatic in his book. He just knew he wanted to get a very important message across .
