Top Ways To Quit Smoking

Top Ways To Quit Smoking

There are probably as many different ways to quit smoking as there are people who have quit - and that is a lot of people these days. If you are trying to give it up, you have the comfort of knowing that millions of others have been successful over the past decades and there is no reason why you should not succeed too.

If you think about it, you will see that there are always gaps between cigarettes. Even the heaviest smokers have an average 7 hour gap between cigarettes every night. Although nicotine is a physical addiction, it is also true that most people's bodies do not wake them up every couple of hours during the night to have a cigarette. So most people could go for much longer between cigarettes than they think.

Some of the most popular ways include hypnosis, medications and nicotine aids, as well as the very popular cold turkey. Going cold turkey, where you simply stop, sounds the most difficult but many people are successful with it. However, having some help can ease the pressure and help with the cravings and other withdrawal problems such as irritability.

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is something that many people find helpful in their goal of quitting smoking. A hypnotist will hypnotize you and then give you an instruction or suggestion telling you that you do not want to smoke any more, have no need to smoke again, or something similar. They will not usually tell you exactly what they say in case you unconsciously set up a barrier against the words.

A suggestion made under hypnosis can be very convincing. Some people are easier to hypnotize than others, but it is thought that once the hypnosis is successful, the command should work on anybody. It can help minimize or even abolish cravings.

You do need to want to stop, of course - you would not be spending money on a hypnotist or a hypnosis CD if you didn't. It is also best to choose a time when you are not under heavy stress.

Quit Smoking via Hypnosis

Most people know that by stopping they will save several thousand dollars a year. Most people know that they could add years to their life. And most people know that if they stop smoking right now, they could save their health - before it's too late. So, why do people continue to smoke? With more than 20 years combined experience in dealing with the mind, both in the USA and in the UK , we have found the answer to be the same all over the world. It all comes down to one thing...FEAR.
Fear that you'll have to give up your crutch or pleasure. Fear that you won't be able to enjoy life or handle stress. Fear that you will put on weight. Fear that you'll have to go through an awful trauma to get free. Fear that you'll never get completely free of the craving. All of these fears are just examples of one overriding fear. The one simple reason that you have not stopped smoking is that you: Fear that it is going to be too painful and too difficult! But guess what.
Hypnosis makes it Easy. In fact, our unique hypnosis technique makes it so easy that after only one hour you'll leave a happy non-smoker - not feeling deprived, not feeling that you've made a sacrifice, and not feeling any pain. Instead, you'll have a huge sense of relief and elation that you have at last achieved what all smokers long to achieve, you have become a happy, permanent, non-smoker.
When smokers try to stop with other methods they suffer misery and depression caused by the feeling that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch. The beauty of hypnosis, and the way we use hypnosis in particular, is that it removes this feeling of deprivation. It removes the need and the desire to smoke. You won't need useless aids, gimmicks, or substitutes. No nicotine gum or patches. No inhalers or nasal sprays. No needles or lasers. All that you have to do with hypnosis is sit back in a nice comfortable chair, and relax. It doesn't get much easier than that!
Nothing to Fear and everything to Gain as Hypnosis is possibly as old as mankind. The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically sound applications. Today the use of hypnosis is seen in a variety of fields including: medicine, dentistry, law enforcement, professional sports, and education.
