SMOKING FACTS:

• Around 6 million deaths a year are caused by tobacco.
• Smoking is set to kill 6.5 million people in 2015 and 8.3 million humans in 2030, with the biggest rise in low-and middle-income countries.
• Every 6.5 seconds a current or former smoker dies, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).
• An estimated 1.3 billion people are smokers worldwide (WHO).
• Over 443,000 Americans (over 18 percent of all deaths) die because of smoking each year. Secondhand smoke kills about 50,000 of them.
• 1.2 million people in China die because of smoking each year. That’s 2,000 people a day.
• Tobacco use will kill 1 billion people in the 21st century if current smoking trends continue.
• 33 percent to 50 percent of all smokers are killed by their habit.
• Smokers die on average 15 years sooner than nonsmokers.
• Smoking causes cancer in the lungs, larynx, oral cavity and is a contributory factor to cancer of the bladder, kidneys and pancreas.
• The average smoker smokes about one pack per day. If we take the average price of a pack of cigarettes at $5 per pack then that total would be $5 x 365=$1825 per year.

So why do people continue to smoke?  It all comes down to one thing… FEAR

Fear that you’ll have to give up your crutch or pleasure

• Fear that you won’t be able to enjoy life or handle stress
• Fear that you will put on weight
• Fear that you’ll never get completely free of the craving

All of these fears are just examples of one overriding fear. The one simple reason that you have not stopped smoking is that you:  Fear that it is going to be too painful and too difficult!

A key part of your hypnosis session will be addressing your unique habits, history, personality, smoking patterns and prior experiences that you have had with smoking.

One of the reasons why it’s not painful or difficult to stop smoking with my hypnosis is that I transfer the pleasure derived from smoking to a healthier habit of your choice (e.g. exercise, drinking more water or relaxation). There is NO unwanted weight gain or other problems associated with kicking your smoking habit.

    NOTE:  This same program works for anyone who dips or chews tobacco.

Tried to Quit Before?

While it may seem there are no easy ways to stop smoking, hypnosis will help assure you beat your nicotine addiction. Many people like you think they should stop smoking cigarettes but find it too difficult. The reason for this is because there is a psychological basis of nicotine addiction more than the physiological basis of nicotine addiction. After 24 hours of smoke-free living, you are stuck with your subconscious urging you to light that cigarette. Hypnosis handles both the physiological and psychological reasons you smoke leaving you smoke-free now and forever

A smoker may consciously want to quit smoking. They don’t like the terrible smell. They don’t like the way it affects their health. They don’t like burning holes in their clothes and furnishings, and they certainly don’t like watching their money go up in smoke. Yet they continue smoking in spite of their many reasons for wanting to quit. These people are unable to quit because they are being controlled by thoughts, imprints and impressions, which exist in their subconscious minds. The conscious level of the mind can be used to reason and think, but it cannot over rule the control of the subconscious mind that has been programmed by thoughts, imprints, and impressions, that the conscious level of the mind is not even aware of.

The “Hypnosis Method” gives your subconscious mind the suggestions and instructions it needs to change and clear out all of those thoughts, imprints and impressions, which are currently causing you to smoke. This is one of the main reasons why hypnosis can be so powerful in helping people overcome the smoking habit permanently.

Once a person has been guided into a hypnotic state, the subconscious level of the mind becomes much more susceptible to suggestions. The person is completely aware of what the therapist is saying, and the suggestions given by the therapist are received by the subconscious mind, and have a powerful and profound effect in releasing those thoughts, imprints and impressions that have been causing the problem.

Unless the subconscious mind is changed, the smoking habit continues to dominate the person. Normal willpower can only dent the surface temporarily. Hypnosis can permanently change the subconscious mind, so you will never want to smoke again.

Your subconscious mind will also be given suggestions

• To keep you calm and relaxed as you go about your normal daily activities, so you will not stress as a result of not smoking.
• Not to substitute food for cigarettes so you will not put on any excess weight as a result of not smoking.
• To cope with the situation of being around other smokers.
• Strategies to deal with any residual withdrawal symptoms or cravings.

As a result of the hypnotic process your cravings and withdrawal symptoms tend to reduce by between 80% and 100%. Some may still experience a tiny bit of residual withdrawal symptoms, however your subconscious mind will receive strategies for dealing with any residual cravings, so that as soon as the strategy is put in place, the craving disappears very quickly. The actual session is very positive and uplifting, and you will feel wonderful to finally be a non-smoker. Rather than being cranky and moody, you will feel terrific about not smoking.

Anyone who has smoked cigarettes knows firsthand what a fierce addiction it is, and how hard it can be to stop smoking. There are both psychological and physiological reasons which cause people to become so addicted. While many smokers will argue that smoking helps them to relax or helps them manage their weight, they also know that there are many serious costs and consequences which accompany years of smoking.

First and foremost, it is a well known fact that smoking is very hazardous to your health. Studies show that smoking can literally cut years off your life. Smoking can significantly damage the heart and lungs and has been shown to cause cancer. Additionally, smoking can yellow your fingers and teeth, cause premature aging of your skin, and cause you to have a more raspy voice over time.  Smoking is also a very expensive habit, and the odor from cigarette smoke can infiltrate your clothing, hair, and surroundings to a significant degree.

As a result of the various costs and consequences of smoking, many smokers often recognize the need to kick this habit.  But sheer will power alone is often not enough. Hypnosis has been used to help thousands of people quit smoking.
