Many people each day give up smoking without any aids, showing it can be done, it just depends on how much you want to give up, and what you are prepared to put up with. If you don't want to quit smoking, but have been told to by a doctor then I'm afraid hypnotherapy won't help you. The right kind of hypnotherapy can indeed help you - but hypnosis can only really help you once you have decided to stop smoking and are ready to assume the responsibility for doing this. Time to Take Control of Your Smoking Habit? The great news is your body starts to repair itself as soon as you stop smoking and the risk of developing serious diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and strokes are reduced significantly. This puts a strain on the liver, pancreas, bladder and kidneys, and you risk your chances of developing cancer in these areas too.

There are many poisonous substances in cigarettes, including Benzene, Formaldehyde, Carbon Monoxide, Arsenic, Acetone, and Nicotine, which many people don't realise are used commercially in insecticide. Smoking does not just cause lung cancer and heart disease. It also has an effect on our appetite, sleeping pattern, memory and learning ability. Serotonin is what helps us feel motivated, enthusiastic, happy and in control of our life and has a big effect on our mood and behaviour. People who smoke throughout life are 80% more likely to suffer severe anxiety and clinical depression in middle age than non-smokers, because it depletes the body of the “feel good” hormone Serotonin. Over a prolonged period this causes great stress on the body. As the blood pressure raises our body thinks we are preparing for a situation of danger and it turns on our survival mechanism, known better as “fight or flight”. You may think having a cigarette is calming you, but it is in fact doing the opposite. Smoking is one of the major causes of stress and anxiety because it increases your blood pressure levels. Hypnotherapy can access the subconscious mind, suggest new perspectives on the habit, and remove your desire for smoking. Your smoking is not a conscious behaviour, which is why trying to quit with conscious will power alone just isn't enough. The big pharmaceuticals producing patches and nicotine substitutes would let you believe otherwise. Many people don’t realize the physical side of addiction to smoking is less than 10% the remainder is all in the mind - the subconscious mind where behaviour patterns are stored.
