"Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving
up smoking, according to the
largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking
the habit." New
Scientist Vol.136, Issue
1845, P.6.
It is disturbing to note that the nicotine from
just one cigarette, if
injected, would be enough to kill a horse, let alone
a human. Given that one puff of smoke from a cigarette
contains over 2000 chemicals - including arsenic,
acetone and formaldehyde - it is easy to see
why so many smokers are desperate to kick the habit.
Government concern about the health of the nation
is evident in recent
initiatives to encourage us to live in smoke free
environments.
Despite the belief of many smokers that cigarettes
help them to relax,
smoking does, in fact, activate the 'fight or flight'
response, keeping the body in a prolongued
state of stress.
A concern of some smokers is that they will be tempted
to eat more and put
on weight if they quit smoking. It is easy to understand
why smokers often feel worried about
giving up smoking, even though they secretly wish
for a smoke - free lifstyle.
The Good News...

the craving for a
cigarrette as well as reduce the craving for food
