The Nature of Smoking
Since smoking is both physical and mental, success in a stop smoking effort must change not
only the mental attitude but the physical reaction.
Remember, all facets of your person are interconnected. When you change one part, you change all
parts of your mind and body.
The more candid you are about when, where and why you smoke, the more effortlessly you succeed
at becoming a non smoker through hypnosis.
How Hypnosis Helps You Quit
Hypnosis works well to create change because it temporarily bypasses the conscious mind and
allows access to the subconscious. The behavioral changes are then experienced through suggestion.
One of the most powerful attributes of the human psyche is its ability to visualize (or imagine).
Hypnosis helps to develop and focus the powers of visualization. The individual visualizes one's
self as a non smoker, enjoying new health, energy and vitality, and sees the process as being
complete. The memory of smoking seems distant.
As reported in the Journal of Applied Psychology, hypnosis is three (3) times more effective for
quitting smoking than nicotine replacement therapies. In 1993, the results of the largest,
world-wide study ever recorded evaluating stop smoking methods was published in New Scientist
(New Scientist, vol 136, pp6) magazine. The study included thousands of people in Europe,
America and Asia and revealed that hypnosis was a
'remarkably effective method' in helping people to quit smoking.

needs and includes a CD for re-enforcement.

Why should you quit??? Just in case you've been in a long deep sleep, here are some reasons to
stop smoking...
What a nightmare! Tired of the endless nagging from others?
Sick of constantly stepping outdoors in the cold/heat for a puff?
When was the last time somebody told you that you smelled GOOD?
When was the last time YOU smelled ANYTHING?
Or honestly TASTED anything?
How long since you had a whole day cough-free?
Enough about you---how healthy is your wallet?

Along with the spiraling cost of cigarettes, the medical and dental costs associated with smoking are continuing
in securing them. Replacing damaged clothing, furniture, rugs, repainting constantly, all adds up. The true
cost of smoking is shocking. By comparison, hypnosis is a REAL BARGAIN. It's an investment that helps
you save money AND make amazing changes for good in your life.
Social Pressure
Remember John Wayne? Always lighting up. We all respected him, admired him, the guys all wanted to BE
like him. You know the story. All that has changed. While cigarettes once had Hollywood glamour status, these
days, public smoking can be a crime in some places.
Even where allowed, smokers who puff in public face intense disapproval. The same social pressure that once
made smoking popular now discourages it and smokers are scorned. Now we know, those puffs are killers. If
you are tired of the pressure, hypnosis can help.
You're HOOKED
Smokers are touchy about being hooked on cigarettes. They become angry when confronted with the facts. Who
can blame them? 'Addiction' is an ugly word. Smokers often express disgust or disappointment in themselves
because they feel like slaves to the cigarette. Who wants to live like that? Leave those and all of the other ugly
feelings behind.
With hypnosis you can kick the habit and begin to feel proud of your accomplishments.
It's a Dirty Habit
Cigarette smoke turns everything it touches an ugly dirty brown. It stains your fingernails, your fingers and
hands, your teeth, your home and all your possessions. It invades the upholstery of your car, your furniture,
your carpet and window treatments. Your clothes, your hair...I'm sorry, but they stink! Smoking wrinkles and
ages your skin. Your breath smells nasty. Those dirty ashtrays lying around your home reek...but perhaps you
don't realize it, because smoking has dulled your sense of smell. Enough! Stop! Hypnosis
CAN help. Throw away your cigarettes. Come clean NOW.
Second-hand Smoke
Smoking puts everyone around you at risk. Nonsmokers smell like smokers, forcing them to put up with an
undeserved stigma. Kids are most at risk, both for health issues and social ones. Quit for yourself...quit for the
people you love.
