   Stop Smoking Easily with Hypnosis

Learn how you can stop a lifetimes habit in just 90 minutes ...

If you are truly committed to giving up you will find the session will shatter how you thought about you and your smoking habit making it easy to stop once and for all.

Most of my clients believed they were addicted to smoking, that their smoking was a life long habit, that smoking was a part of them. They believed they would start to put weight on and over eat. Some worried that they could not be hypnotised or that because they enjoyed smoking and would suffer side effects from stopping smoking, like bad moods, mood swings, cravings, that they wouldn't be able to relax and were too stressed without cigarettes.

Smoking is all about reward or no one would do it. You have had a stressful day ...you smoke and feel better....
you have an argument.....you smoke and feel better.....you need a break from any social situation....you smoke and feel better.

So if you quit smoking  you think you're life is going to be better without it, but then you don't see any real tangible, immediate benefits. If you stop  you haven't got anything to relax you and reduce your stress! And that is RIGHT NOW! tangible and very uninviting

When smokers try and stop smoking using their own willpower or patches or gum, they are simply giving up the ONE thing that reduces their stress or anxiety...for little or No reward for doing so! Does that make sense sadly No

Hypnosis is well proven and very powerful. Combining hypnosis, visualisation, hypnotherapy and psychology, I believe stopping smoking is EASY........What if you could stop smoking...and feel REALLY proud of yourself? What if I could put suggestions in your mind so that you feel FITTER, CALMER, MORE RELAXED, MORE POSITIVE? That in all of the situations where you used to feel tense you now just feel completely AT EASE with yourself?

NOW THAT DOES MAKE SENSE ! It would be easy to stop wouldn't it!

Tried these?: Nicorette, Nicotinell, NHS, QUIT, patch, gum, lozenge, microtab, inhalator, tablet, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, formaldehyde

There are different medications that can help you stop smoking – these include Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and bupropion hydrochloride (Zyban).

Nicotine Replacement Therapy is suitable for most people, including young people, people with diabetes or heart disease, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. It comes in six forms:

• Patch
• Gum
• Nasal spray
• Inhalator
• Tablet
• Lozenge

Another medication that can make stopping smoking easier is Zyban.  or bupropion hydrochloride, does not contain nicotine and comes in a tablet you start taking twice daily before you actually quit.

The risk of a serious reaction to Zyban is rare. Some common side effects are sleeplessness, headaches, dizziness, depression and sweating. Zyban is only available on prescription.

Other professional support

Your own doctor can give you advice on how to stop smoking and prescribe NRT or Zyban. In some areas, local pharmacists are part of the stop smoking services and can also offer one-to-one support along with NRT.

If you’re pregnant, you should talk to your midwife, doctor or health visitor. They can advise you on which NRT products might suit you best while you’re pregnant or breastfeeding.

The charity QUIT runs freephone smoking helplines for speakers of minority ethnic languages, including Turkish, Kurdish, Bengali, Urdu, Punjabi, Gujarati and Hindi.

 GOVERNMENTAL LEGISLATION

"The Health and Safety Executive is considering tough guidance forcing employers to ban smoking in the workplace wherever "reasonably possible".

If adopted, the guidance - which clarifies how existing health and safety law should be applied - will mean offices, factories and workshops should become no-smoking zones, although employers will be allowed to provide smoking rooms.

However, it will not require pubs and restaurants to ban smoking, just to reduce employees' exposure to passive smoking as much as possible.

This could take the form of improving ventilation and making bar counters no smoking areas."

Quote BBC News

By 2020, the WHO expects the worldwide death toll to reach 10 million, causing 17.7% of all deaths in developed countries.

There are believed to be 1.1 billion smokers in the world, 800 million of them in developing countries.
