Quitting smoking is difficult to most smokers because many of these smokers really do not know much about the habit of smoking. Some smokers feel that smoking releases their tension and relaxes them while some others feel that if they give up smoking, they will become irritable, perhaps gain weight or even suffer a nervous breakdown. Also, the vast majority of the smokers feel that they don’t posses the necessary will power to quit smoking.
And herein is the interesting part! You can quit smoking by hypnosis because hypnosis uses your imagination and not your will power. Remember Emile Coue’s statement: “In the battle between will power and imagination, invariably it is imagination that wins.”
FACTS ABOUT SMOKING
1. Nicotine is poison: Although nicotine has some stimulating effect on the nervous system, it is still classified as a poison. It is possible to kill an animal with a certain amount of concentrated nicotine. You can quit smoking with hypnosis and eliminate the poison from your body.
2. Smoking may result in cancer: One cigarette releases three trillion free radicals into the body. A free radical is an unstable atom which lacks one or more electrons in its outer orbit. In order to become stable, it snatches the required electron from a body cell, thereby making the body cell unstable. Some of these unstable body cells may undergo genetic changes and develop uncontrollable reproductive abilities resulting in cancerous growths. You can stop smoking by hypnosis and eliminate the cancer risk.
3. Smoking disables: The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases the heart rate and blood pressure, straining the heart and blood vessels. This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows the blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs amputated. Stop smoking through hypnosis and avoid disabilities.
4. Lungs get ‘tar’nished: The tar in cigarettes coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A person smoking 20 cigarettes a day inhales nearly 200 g of tar in a year. Changing to low-tar cigarettes does not help because then smokers usually take deeper puffs and hold the smoke in for longer, dragging the tar deeper into their lungs. Use hypnosis to quit smoking and keep your lungs clean.
5. Cigarettes pollute the body: Tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 different chemicals. At least 43 are known carcinogens (causing cancer in humans). Apart from nicotine, tar and carbon monoxide (a colorless and tasteless gas found in car exhausts, which is fatal in large doses), some other chemicals are: benzene (a petrol additive associated with leukemia), formaldehyde (a colorless liquid, highly poisonous, used to embalm bodies), ammonia (used as a toilet cleaner), acetone, etc. Quit smoking by hypnosis and cleanse your body.
