Gone are the days of swinging watches and weird hypnotic stares. Hypnosis has moved off of the stage and into everyday life.

The cigarette companies have been using psychology and hypnotic induction techniques to get you addicted to their products for many years without you even knowing it. They have been programming you with an ‘addiction programme’ to their products. Imagine how you would feel once you realise that. Now if I was a smoker I would be pretty pissed off for a start.

There is only one thing to do, take ownership of your own mind for a change. Despite what anyone else tells you it is your mind to do with as you see fit. If someone wants to stay addicted to cigarettes then that is up to them, but if you want to stop smoking then we can help.

We could spend millions in advertising, constantly harass you about the dangers of smoking but there are much more elegant and gentle ways for you to stop smoking. Within the next few days you could find your ‘addiction’ fading away. You see, the trick is not to attack that ‘addictive programme’ directlythis requires a huge force of will as people use brute force to get their way. Even then the unconscious programme is still there so people will always be tempted by cigarettes. What you can do however is to change the root cause of the problem.

Reprogramming your mind with self hypnosis is very easy to do and all it requires is a CD or MP3 player. As you listen to these hypnotic programmes they will oust that nasty ‘addiction’ and free your mind from the grasp of cigarettes.

You will no longer be an smoker or ex-smokerbut you will be a non-smoker. Free to live your life healthy for a change.

Most smokers sincerely want to quit. They know cigarettes threaten their health, set a bad example for their children, annoy their acquaintances and cost an inordinate amount of money.

Nobody can force a smoker to quit. It’s something each person has to decide for himself, and will require a personal commitment by the smoker. What kind of smoker are you? What do you get out of smoking? What does it do for you? It is important to identify what you use smoking for and what kind of satisfaction you feel that you are getting from smoking.

Many smokers use the cigarette as a kind of crutch in moments of stress or discomfort, and on occasion it may work; the cigarette is sometimes used as a tranquilizer. But the heavy smoker, the person who tries to handle severe personal problems by smoking heavily all day long, is apt to discover that cigarettes do not help him deal with his problems effectively.

When it comes to quitting, this kind of smoker may find it easy to stop when everything is going well, but may be tempted to start again in a time of crisis. Physical exertion, eating, drinking, or social activity in moderation may serve as useful substitutes for cigarettes, even in times of tension. The choice of a substitute depends on what will achieve the same effects without having any appreciable risk.

Once a smoker understands his own smoking behavior, he will be able to cope more successfully and select the best quitting approaches for himself and the type of life-style he leads.

Because smoking is a form of addiction, 80 percent of smoker who quit usually experience some withdrawal symptoms. These may include headache, light-headedness, nausea, diarrhea, and chest pains. Psychological symptoms, such as anxiety, short-term depression, and inability to concentrate, may also appear. The main psychological symptom is increased irritability. People become so irritable; in fact, that they say they feel “like killing somebody.” Yet there is no evidence that quitting smoking leads to physical violence.

Some people seem to lose all their energy and drive, wanting only to sleep. Others react in exactly the opposite way, becoming so over energized they can’t find enough activity to burn off their excess energy. For instance, one woman said she cleaned out all her closets completely and was ready to go next door to start on her neighbor’s. Both these extremes, however, eventually level off. The symptoms may be intense for two or three days, but within 10 to 14 days after quitting, most subside. The truth is that after people quit smoking, they have more energy; they generally will need less sleep, and feel better about themselves.

Quitting smoking not only extends the ex-smoker’s life, but adds new happiness and meaning to one’s current life. Most smokers state that immediately after they quit smoking, they start noticing dramatic differences in their overall health and vitality.

Quitting is beneficial at any age, no matter how long a person has been smoking. The mortality ratio of ex-smoker decreases after quitting. If the patient quits before a serious disease has developed, his body may eventually be able to restore itself almost completely.

Stopping smoking is easy. Loads of people have done it. I’ve helped loads of people to do it. But the interesting thing is, that not one of them has arrived at my office thinking it’s going to be easy.

The biggest barrier to stopping smoking is fear.

The fear has several components:

• Fear of failing.
• Fear of the ‘pain’ i.e. withdrawal.
• Fear of removal of the only pleasure in life.
• Fear of the removal of a crutch i.e. I smoke when I’m worried.
• Fear of over-eating
• Fear of succeeding temporarily and then ‘relapsing’.

None of these fears has any substance when you look at it closely, but as a mythical beast - a scary shadow on the wall, they all have tremendous power.

Failure

In most areas of life failure is seen as an opportunity to learn to do it better next time. Smokers tend to see it as the end of life as we know it. Better not to try than to fail. And what will people think. It will be obvious that I’ve failed.

Pain

There is no clinical evidence for addiction to nicotine. This is a myth. But because the Mind is a powerful beast, it can make an illusion real. If you don’t believe me, think of a lemon, think of cutting it in half, think of that lemony smell wafting gently and cleanly into your nostrils, then pick up one of those pieces, open your mouth and squeeze the juice out until it fills your mouth. Now notice the saliva content of your mouth and see if you can maintain your belief that illusion can’t have a real physiological effect on your body.

Pleasure

Cigarettes poison your body; increase your blood pressure; increase your likelihood of severe and disabling diseases; reduce your stamina; impair sexual function and pleasure in both males and females; age your skin; and damage your voice box. If this is pleasure

Stress

When I’m worried I have a cigarette, it reduces stress. Nicotine increases blood pressure by vaso-constriction and releases adrenaline. So smoking a cigarette increases physiological stress. What it actually does is create distraction. All the fumbling with the packet and the lighter and the sucking (security of a nipple from childhood) takes the mind away from the problem for the length of time it takes to smoke a cigarette. Sucking a pencil, or chewing gum would have the same effect.

Food

People think they will over-eat when they stop smoking. Hypnotic suggestion takes care of this with direct suggestion to ensure that nothing is substituted for cigarettes.

Success then Failure

A lot of people give up for a while and then start again - usually at a moment of crisis in their lives. The fear of failing at being successful prevents them even attempting to give up. Success is easy. If you fail you just give up smoking again knowing that you’ve done it already it will be even easier next time. If you have this attitude you will succeed forever first time.

Because all of these fears are very real to smokers wanting to give up, there is a way that makes it even easier. Use a hypnosis CD. The benefit of a CD over a one-to-one treatment is that you can listen to it over and over again. And if you obtain a Stop Smoking CD that is designed for frequent use then giving up smoking successfully is almost guaranteed.

You see with this gradual approach, there is no real moment when you become a non-smoker, in the way that there is with a one-to-one treatment. Because choosing when and where to listen to the CD is under your control, and you can do it as often as you like, you will find that all those fears mentioned above become irrelevant.

They become irrelevant because, although you’ve chosen to give up, although you’ve chosen to become a non-smoker, you’ve chosen to do it at a gradual rate - a rate that you can modify and adjust on a daily basis.

The CD will help reduce the desire to smoke, and it will help you to see yourself as a non-smoker and because you listen to it regularly the message of the CD is reinforced and becomes stronger each time you listen until finally you realise you’ve smoked your last cigarette.
