You can be a non-smoker again now.
Whether it is your first attempt to stop smoking or your tenth, it can feel like a daunting thing to do. Everybody tells us that it’s a very hard addiction to break.
What if it were not that hard after all?
The main issue with most stop smoking tactics is that they target the nicotine, but they all ignore the psychological aspect. If nicotine were the main issue, then why can’t you just wean yourself off cigarettes just like you wean yourself off nicotine patches? I mean, smoke 20 today, 19 tomorrow, etc, etc, and you’ll be smoke free in 3 weeks! But that’s not how it works, is it?
That’s because the main issue is the deeply ingrained habit.
Nicotine leaves your body within 72 hours, habits and triggers last longer if they are not dealt with.
Why do you smoke? How to change the habits? What will you do if you lose your cigarette break?
Hypnosis is a great tool to help you to stop smoking.
The reason hypnosis works so well is easy to understand. Smoking, like all habits is controlled by the unconscious part of the mind. It is possible to stop smoking now and be free from the expected negative side effects such as cravings or mood swings.
Many people find hypnotherapy to be an effective treatment for smoking. It works to break the negative behaviours and thinking patterns associated with smoking; like smoking to relieve stress (question: how can you relax by using a stimulant?). It is these negative thoughts and behaviours that often prevents people from being successfully and permanently free from cigarettes.
Hypnosis is not a magic bullet, but it is the most effective way of stop smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit.
It is well-known that smoking poses significant health risks and is a leading cause of illness and premature death in the UK. Additionally, the cost of an average 20-cigarette-per-day habit is now nearing £100 per week! If you are serious about quitting smoking for health or financial reasons, hypnosis is a viable and effective option to consider.
As an example, here is how much you will save, assuming a pack of 20 cigarettes at £14.
| 10 a day | 20 a day | |
| £49 | £98 | every week |
| £213 | £426 | every month |
| £2,555 | £5,110 | every year |
| £12,775 | £25,550 | every 5 years |
| £25,550 | £51,100 | every 10 years |
So if you usually smoke 20 cigarettes a day, just by stopping, you give yourself the equivalent of a £5,110 annual pay rise!
This doesn’t take into account all the health benefits, longer lifespan, better quality of life, and the fact that cigarettes are continuously getting more expensive.
It’s never too late to quit smoking!
Whatever age you are, if you make the decision to stop, your health will benefit. However, the sooner you quit; the faster the body can recover and the risk of developing serious health conditions will decrease.
Here is what a client had to say about using hypnosis (more testimonials available here):
Christophe is incredible! His approach is friendly, professional and humorous. I was sceptical that I would stop smoking through hypnotherapy but after just one session I walked out a non smoker. Highly recommend a visit to Christophe to deal with anything you are struggling with.
