“QUIT SMOKING: I HAVE 9 MONTHS TO LIVE”
In July 2006 Allen learned that he has squamous cell carcimonia, a form of lung cancer linked to nicotine intake.
Allen spent his last days promoting himself as an example of the foolhardiness of smoking – and the benefits of giving up the habit even relatively late in life.
“Smoking was virtually killing me 25-odd years ago. If I had not given it up, I am certain I would have died long ago. I see those extra years as the most marvellous bonus”
Allen Carr
Allen Carr died on November 29 2006, in the age of 72 on lung cancer. Nobody knows, if the former Carr’s smoking was involved in the disease or it resulted from his many years exposure to passive smoking in his capacity of seminars therapist curing persons who were nicotine addicts.
Allen Carr’s message to smokers:
„The earlier you stop smoking, the better!“
