Smoking Cessation

Are you ready to quit the smoking habit for good?  Let us help you...

You may already be aware that smoking cigarettes causes serious damage to your health.  The most commonly known facts are that smoking causes fatal lung and heart disease.  But are you aware that smoking can also cause non-fatal illnesses related to smoking (American Council on Science & Health 1997) such as: gum disease, angina, Buerger’s Disease (severe circulatory disease), Crohn’s Disease (chronic inflamed bowel), impotence and colon polyps?

Did you know there are over 4000 chemicals in tobacco smoke?  At least 600 are believed to be poisonous and 42 to be carcinogenic (cancer-causing). According to the Scientific Committee on Smoking and Health (SCOTH, 1998) the tar content of cigarettes presents a greater health risk than nicotine or carbon monoxide.

Some of the toxic chemicals in tar may surprise you: arsenic, cyanide, formaldehyde (used to preserve organs), ammonia (used in disinfectants), cadmium (the poisonous metal used in batteries), acetone (nail polish remover), benzene (a carcinogenic, industrial solvent used in pesticides), DDT (a notoriously dangerous insecticide).
If a can of fizzy drink containing all that stuff, would you drink 20 cans a day?  If your pet food contained the same amount of chemicals, would you knowingly feed it to your dog?  Frightening when you actually stop and think about it isn’t it?

The fact is, the tobacco companies are clever, by adding cocoa powder and other pleasant tasting substances, they disguise the real taste of the chemicals making them taste more palatable to you.  If you smoke cigarettes, you are being duped.

Most people say they smoke to help them feel calm and relaxed, but smoking is a stimulant NOT a relaxant!

During your two hour, one stop session, we can help you to actually understand and recognise the reasons why you started smoking and why you have continued to smoke.  Using a combination of  neuro-linguistic programming and hypnosis, we can help you to QUIT and QUIT for good.  We all have choices in life and when you stop to consider the POSITIVE benefits of quitting smoking, you will notice they far out weigh the reasons why you smoke.   We can help you form positive coping mechanisms to help you QUIT FOR GOOD!

The average person who smokes 20 a day, will save approximately £1850 over the course of a year.  Just imagine what you could do with all that extra cash!!!
