The Hypnosis Practice

Hypnotherapy  for Smoking Cessation

Deaths relating to smoking are estimated at about two million a year wordwide, and 100,000 a year in Britain.   Smoking is the biggest risk factor for having a heart attack.   The reason for the effect of smoking on the heart and it's circulation is connected to nicotine and carbon monoxide causing the heart to beat faster, while at the same time narrowing the arteries! 

Research comparing many different studies of hypnotherapy has shown that on average smokers are over five times more likely to break the habit with hypnosis than by willpower alone.   Hypnotherapy in general is also proven to be more than twice as effective compared with nicotine gum.   If you really want to stop smoking, then one session of hypnotherapy could be all that you need! 

 Some of the benefits of quitting:

            
8 hours                Blood oxygen levels return to normal
24 hours              Carbon Monoxide has left your body
48 hours              Sense of taste and smell begin to improve
72 hours              Breathing becomes easier.  Energy levels increase
5 days                  Nicotine addiction is no more
2-12 weeks          Circulation starts to improve
3-9 months          Coughing, shortness of breath and wheezing improve
1 year                  Risk of a heart attack falls to about half of a smoker
10 years              Risk of lung cancer falls to about half of a smoker

After 15 years, the risk of heart attack falls to the same level as someone who has never smoked.
