Smoking has long been known to be detrimental to your health as well as those around you. It is a difficult habit to break, some companies will offer you nicotine patches, chewing gum, tablets, all sorts of different stuff. However hypnosis has been proven to be THE most effective therapy on the market. Some hypnotists will work on their clients using suggestion hypnosis only. However by using advanced hypnosis I will find out where your subconcious is gaining its 'satisfaction link' from and redirect that satisfaction link elsewhere, to stop any cravings. I will also use a suggestion script that will help you further. Most people assume that when they stop smoking they will put on weight or become 'moody' or aggresive. In some this becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, because they already believe it is going to happen, it will happen. I can change the way your subconcious views this so that weight gain /anger do not become options.
Did you know:
Tobacco smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, many of them known
poisons.
Nicotine and carbon monoxide play a role in the process leading to heart
and blood vessel disease. Tar in tobacco contains dozens of chemicals
that cause cancer.
Smoking adds to the artery-clogging process that can lead to heart attack,
stroke and peripheral vascular disease. It also overworks the heart
and reduces its oxygen supply, makes clots more likely to form in blood
vessels, and increases the risk of potentially fatal changes in the
heart beat.
Cigarette smoking:
doubles the risk of heart attack;
doubles the risk again if you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol;
increases the risk of heart attack 10 times in women using the contraceptive
pill;
doubles the risk of stroke; and
increases the risk of gangrene by more than five times.
Passive smoking is especially risky for children and babies. It can
cause the following low birth weight babies
sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS)
bronchitis and pneumonia
middle ear infections
Smoking has been shown to have harmful effects on all parts of the digestive system, contributing to such common disorders as heartburn and peptic ulcers. It also increases the risk of Crohn's disease and possibly gallstones. Smoking seems to affect the liver, too, by changing the way it handles drugs and alcohol. In fact, there seems to be enough evidence to stop smoking solely on the basis of digestive distress.
A smokers excess risk of heart disease is reduced by 50% after only
one year of smoking abstinence
Fifteen years after stopping smoking the risk of heart disease is about
the same as if you had never smoked
There are short term economic and health benefits of smoking cessation
both in terms of money saved on medical costs and CVD events avoided
Chemicals in cigarettes and tobacco smoke make smoking harmful. Tobacco
smoke contains over 4,000 different chemicals. At least 43 are known
carcinogens (cause cancer in humans).
Cigarettes are one of few products which can be sold legally which can harm and even kill you over time if used as intended.
Currently there are ongoing lawsuits in the USA which aim to hold tobacco companies responsible for the effects of smoking on the health of long term smokers.
Benzene (petrol additive)
A colourless cyclic hydrocarbon obtained from coal and petroleum, used
as a solvent in fuel and in chemical manufacture - and contained in
cigarette smoke. It is a known carcinogen and is associated with leukaemia.
Formaldehyde (embalming fluid)
A colourless liquid, highly poisonous, used to preserve dead bodies
- also found in cigarette smoke. Known to cause cancer, respiratory,
skin and gastrointestinal problems.
Ammonia (toilet cleaner)
Used as a flavouring, frees nicotine from tobacco turning it into a
gas, found in dry cleaning fluids.
Acetone (nail polish remover)
Fragrant volatile liquid ketone, used as a solvent, for example, nail
polish remover - found in cigarette smoke.
Tar
Particulate matter drawn into lungs when you inhale on a lighted cigarette.
Once inhaled, smoke condenses and about 70 per cent of the tar in the
smoke is deposited in the smoker's lungs.
Nicotine (insecticide/addictive drug)
One of the most addictive substances known to man, a powerful and fast-acting
medical and non-medical poison. This is the chemical which causes addiction.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) (car exhaust fumes)
An odourless, tasteless and poisonous gas, rapidly fatal in large amounts
- it's the same gas that comes out of car exhausts and is the main gas
in cigarette smoke, formed when the cigarette is lit. Others you may
recognize are :
Arsenic (rat poison), Hydrogen Cyanide (gas chamber poison)
