Stop Smoking
Save your own life and save THOUSANDS!
Hypno – Therapy is the most effective method of stopping smoking over patches and will power alone. (excluding death). Its also easy and safe.
You know smoking is bad for you right?
Yes despite knowing all the things that are bad about smoking for you its still such a difficult habit for you to leave behind without specialist help.
The reason its so hard is because it’s a habit.
I don’t just mean a drug habit such as being addicted to the nicotine.
I mean it’s a behavourial habit. Its something you do without even thinking about.
There’s a whole host other reasons people find it hard to stop smoking such as:
Tobacco advertising and promotion:
The tobacco industry needs new customers to replace the 114,000 people who are killed by smoking in the UK each year.
Stress and relaxation
Many people claim that smoking helps them to cope with stress. But in fact, nicotine is a stimulant and won’t help you to relax. Smokers probably think a cigarette makes them feel better because when they aren’t smoking they actually suffer from nicotine withdrawal.
Other personal reasons for smoking:
Use smoking as a support for when things go wrong- Enjoy smoking with others as a shared activity
- Use smoking to start conversations and meet new people
- Smoke to make themselves look more confident and in control
- Falsely think that cigarettes help them to keep their weight down
- Smoking when they’re feeling bored or lonely
- Smoke when they need a break or a moment to themselves
- Some people smoke as a reward
- Oral pleasure is just as fundamental as sexuality and hunger.
- To kill or measure time
- To simple watch the smoke or the glow
- People smoke and reminisce
- To display their personality with body language
- As a ritual distraction to let them think
- An opportunity to breathe deep and calm down
- To show loyalty to a group or identity such “my brand”
- To do a forbidden thing
- To smoke an earned taste as cigarettes tastes need to be tolerated
- Enjoy the tactile and visual pleasure of a pretty packet
Knowing why you smoke is one of the first steps towards giving up.

The physical effects of smoking on your body
See below for information about the effect smoking can have on the body.
| Negative Effect | Positive effect | |
| Skin | Reduces oxygen to the skin ageing it much more quickly especially around the mouth. | Stopping smoking has been found to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. The skin of a non-smoker gets more nutrients, including oxygen, which reverses the sallow, lined complexion that smokers often have. |
| Mouth | Increases risk of mouth cancer and gum disease. | Kicking the smoking habit gives the sense of smell and taste a real boost, as the body recovers from being dulled by the hundreds of toxic chemicals in cigarettes. |
| Throat | Increases the risk of throat cancer. | Reduces the chance of developing a cough caused by the hundreds of toxic chemicals in cigarettes. |
| Heart | Clogs the arteries, causes heart attacks and strokes. | Within a year of stopping, the risk of a heart attack falls to about half that of a continuing smoker. After ten years, the risk falls to the same level as someone who never smoked. |
| Lungs | Causes lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. | Stop smoking and lung capacity could improve by up to 10% within nine months. Lung capacity naturally diminishes with age so not smoking can make all the difference when it comes to having an active and healthy old age. |
| Fertility | Increases chances of miscarriage, cervical cancer, and complications during pregnancy and delivery. | Quitting smoking improves the lining of the womb increasing the possibility of conceiving and reducing the likelihood of having a miscarriage. Most important, it improves the chances of giving birth to a healthy baby. |
| Sex | May reduce blood flow and cause impotence, and can damage sperm. | Men who quit may get better erections and women may find orgasms improved and become aroused more easily. The body’s blood flow improves and this heightens sensitivity. |
| Fitness | Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke can lead to breathlessness. | Within two to 12 weeks of stopping smoking, the circulation improves making all physical activities much easier. The boost to the immune system makes it easier to fight off colds and flu. |

The financial cost of smoking
See below for a breakdown of the financial cost of smoking.
| Based on smoking 20 per day | Cost | |
| After one month | £240 | If you stopped smoking, after a month, you could put the money towards a table at your favourite restaurant and enjoy a well-earned treat. Your skin would begin to look clearer, brighter and younger as well. |
| After six months | £1440 | After six months, the savings would be really mounting up. The money you’d have saved would go a long way towards a weekend break or a special day out. Your clothes and home would smell fresher too. |
| After one year | £2880 | If you’ve saved all you would have spent on smoking, you could have a nest egg of anything up to the equivalent of the average weekly wage. Think what you could do with all that extra in your pocket. In addition, you would get fewer coughs and colds. |
| After five years | £14400 | After five years, your savings would have really mounted up. You would have enough to go towards a brilliant holiday for the family or for a down payment on a new car. Your risk of suffering a heart attack would now have fallen too. |
