Quit Smoking

Below are the key reasons anyone smokes

• You smoke to nurture yourself: You wake up in the morning feeling a bit dull, and your work day looms before you with no reward in sight. You light up and get a quick lift, a slight elevation of mood, and feel better prepared for your day.
• You smoke to relieve stress or provide a break in your activity: The pressure of work builds all day. There does not seem to be a way for you to let off steam or seek calm territory, so you light a cigarette. When you light up, you look forward to a few moments of pleasure. Stress is briefly put away as you renew your spirit and bolster yourself to continue your activities.
• You smoke because you find social situations uncomfortable: You feel awkward with other people whom you do not know well. You don’t know what to say to them, and you don’t know what to do with your hands as you attempt conversation. So you use the cigarette as a prop for your hands or even as an anchor, which makes you feel more secure in social situations.
• You smoke because you want to improve your self-image: Your self-image might be enhanced because you feel that smoking makes you appear more worldly, more confident and outgoing. You might have started smoking because of peer pressure. At a party, cigarettes can serve as a kind of bonding, pulling you into a group of smokers as you offer or accept a cigarette. You may use smoking as a vehicle for meeting other people, as your shared habit provides the opportunity for some safe, ice-breaking dialogue.
• You smoke to control your weight: Cigarettes do suppress the appetite, and you might be using this bad habit to do so, in order to eat less.

However, whatever the reasons that cause you to smoke, remember that smoking is harmful to you. It causes ill heath and can lead to cancer. Smoking does kill.

Not only does it damage your health, it is also an expensive habit. Think of all the money you could save if you stopped smoking now.

If you smoke a packet of cigarettes a day, each costing £5.50p, you could save over £2000 a year! (£5.50p x 365 days in the year = £2,007.50p). That is quite a lot of money in today's hard economic times.

Your habit is ingrained in your subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy can help you resolve your problem at this level, leaving you free from the bad habit that is costing you your health and your money.
