Overcoming
Your Dependence on Tobacco and Addiction to Nicotine
Are
you tired of being 'ruled' by a cylinder of tobacco wrapped in paper
– if so, then I’ve got some good news for you - simply wanting to stop
smoking is a large part of the battle to successfully giving up smoking.
The only way to stop smoking is to overcome the psychological dependence
on tobacco and the physical addiction to nicotine.
To slowly stop smoking is not recommended - because in this way you
are only teasing your body - and the desire to smoke still remains.
One of the main reasons people want to stop smoking is that they want
their body to be healthy - and free from the toxins contained in cigarette
smoke. An easy way to stop smoking is to get aware of all the health
problems that smokers are likely to experience.
Tobacco use accounts for about one third of all cancer deaths in the
United States – and smokeless tobacco carries many of the same health
risks as cigarettes.
Some scientists have stated that the addiction to tobacco is harder
to break than the addiction to heroin – but hypnotherapists strongly
disagree – with many able to re-program a smoker’s brain within two
hours.
As well as causing bad breath, tobacco use is a major cause of body
odour – it certainly makes your clothes smell! Few tobacco-related lessons
are taught in school – maybe telling students that smoking cigarettes
will make them smell, will horrify them more than telling them they
may get cancer.
Tobacco use is the leading preventable cause of death in the United
States. Reducing tobacco use, especially cigarette smoking, is a public
health priority – and giving up smoking is the single best thing you
can do for your health.
Giving up smoking isn’t easy - but the health benefits are worth it.
Most people are aware that smoking cigarettes is bad for your health
- as a smoker, you've heard many stories about smoking and health. In
the United Kingdom every packet of cigarettes has ‘SMOKING KILLS” printed
in large letters on the side of the packet – UK smokers can’t say nobody
told them!
Smoking is a habit, which leads to potentially serious health problems.
The health benefits of stopping smoking begin almost immediately – and
the sooner you’re able to quit smoking, the sooner your health risks
are reduced.
Nicotine replacement products and other medications can help you stop
smoking. Using nicotine products can certainly help to reduce the craving
and severe withdrawal symptoms you feel when you try to stop smoking.
There are various forms of nicotine replacement products, and nicotine
given as gum, patches, nasal spray or inhaler is the most widely used
method for helping people stop smoking. About 20 out of 100 people who
use nicotine replacement therapy stop smoking for at least 12 months,
compared with 12 out of 100 people who don't use it.
Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) stops, or reduces, the symptoms of
nicotine withdrawal – but to break free from smoking, you need to break
free from nicotine.
How you feel when you stop smoking depends on how much you smoked, how
addicted your body is to nicotine - and how ready you are to stop smoking.
Choosing to stop smoking is much more powerful than having to stop –
and an easy way to stop smoking is to see a hypnotherapist. Research
shows that using hypnosis to stop smoking is as effective as any other
stop smoking technique.
Another major reason to stop smoking is financial – and it’s much better
to pay for a two hour stop smoking session than to continue to pay for
cigarettes for the rest of your life – which may turn out to be shorter
than you expected.
