Are you ready to be a non-smoker?

The risks of smoking scientific evidence shows that cigarette smoking is the greatest single cause of illness and premature death in the UK - but we already know that, so why do we continue to smoke when we know the risks?

Why did we start? Why do we continue after that first awful puff? Why can't we stop? Our subconscious mind has been programmed by advertising and false self-programming to believe that "It's difficult to stop" "I need it" "It helps me cope with stress". In fact smoking is a major cause of anxiety and depression.

Hypnotherapy is effective for stopping smoking because we use the power of your subconscious mind to change your thinking processes, hypnotherapy to stop smoking makes it much easier to stop.

Normally people will use their will power to try to stop. This creates irritability, mood swings, bad temper, cravings and possible weight gain.  

Using a combination of positive suggestion and visualisation I can make it easy for you to stop smoking without craving cigarettes. In fact you will be surprised to find that you feel confident and relaxed not only after the session, but continuing throughout the following weeks.

What about putting weight on if I stop?

Any possible alternative habits are taken care of in the carefully worded session and you will find that you feel great.

What about people tempting me afterwards?

Because you will be able to quit without tension or irritability there should be no temptation to continue smoking if somebody offers you a cigarette. The desire to smoke to reduce stress simply won't be there.

The GOOD NEWS 

Benefits gained by stopping smoking

 

The benefits of stopping begin straight away.

Some smokers, especially those who have smoked for years, believe that the damage to their health is irreversible. However you should be aware that it is never too late to stop smoking. In fact the benefits of quitting start immediately:

 

20 minutes	Blood pressure and pulse return to normal
8 hours	Nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in the blood are halved, oxygen levels in the blood return to normal
24 hours	Carbon monoxide is eliminated from the body and the lungs start to clear out the build up of tar
48 hours	There is no nicotine left in the body. Taste and smell are greatly improved.
72 hours	Breathing becomes easier, bronchial tubes begin to relax, energy levels increase
2 - 12 weeks	Circulation improves, making walking and running a lot easier
3 - 9 months	Coughs, wheezing and breathing problems improve as the lungs have room for up to 10 per cent more oxygen
1 year	Risk of heart attack is halved
10 years	Risk of lung cancer is halved
15 years	Risk of heart attack is at the same level as non-smokers

 The risk of developing lung cancer, other cancers, heart attack, stroke and chronic lung disease is reduced - the sooner you stop smoking, the sooner your risk starts going down

 Stopping smoking at any age increases your life expectancy, provided that you stop before the onset of serious disease. Even if you have developed a disease, you can benefit from stopping as your body will be under less strain.

A smoker who has suffered from a heart attack can halve the risk of a second heart attack by stopping smoking

Ten years after quitting smoking an ex-smoker's risk of lung cancer is reduced by 30 to 50 per cent compared with that of a continuing smoker

Smokers who stop before the age of 35 have a life expectancy not significantly different from that of a non-smoker

But it's never too late. Smokers who give up smoking between 65 and 74 years of age have a better life expectancy beyond 75 than those who continue to smoke.
