Losing the Smoking habit

The Risks of Smoking
Scientific evidence shows that cigarette smoking is the greatest single cause of illness and premature death in the UK - but we already know that, so why do we continue to smoke when we know the risks?

Why did we start? Why do we continue after that first awful puff? Why can’t we stop? Because our subconscious mind has been programmed by advertising and false self-programming to believe that “It’s difficult to stop” “I need it” “It helps me cope with stress”. In fact smoking is a major cause of anxiety and depression.

Hypnotherapy is a fast, effective and powerful tool for the permanent eradication of unwanted habits and smoking is probably the easiest! The physical addiction to cigarettes is less than 10% - the rest is all in the mind, which can be re-educated! I will explain how your subconscious has created such a dangerous habit and remind you of the dangers to the mind and body of smoking, and how hypnosis will help you stop forever. So long as you have a genuine desire to quit, you will leave the session a non-smoker for good with no cravings.

Benefits gained by stopping smoking
The benefits of stopping begin straight away.

  • You reduce your risk of getting serious disease no matter what age you give up. However, the sooner you stop smoking, the greater the reduction in your risk.
  • Breathing improves.
  • Chest infections and colds become less frequent.
  • Reduction in 'smoker's cough'.
  • The smell of stale tobacco on clothes, hair, breath, and face goes.
  • Foods and drinks taste and smell much better.
  • Finances improve immediately. You will save over £2,000 per year if you smoked 20 a day.
  • You look healthier and feel good about yourself.
  • Physical activity is easier.

How many sessions will it take?
Anti-smoking Therapy is done in one session lasting up to 1 ½ - 2 hours.

No initial consultation is necessary.
