Stop Smoking Hypnotherapy
Smoking is something so many people wish they’d never started in the first place. Not only is it an expensive habit, it also affects health in just about every negative way possible. Many people try to cut down or give up using a variety of methods and often times fail. Smoking leads to disease and disability and harms nearly every organ of the body.
How Hypnotherapy can help you to quit smoking
Hypnotherapy for smoking is a great way to maximise success in quitting that smelly old habit and moving forward with your life in a healthier, happier manner. There are a number of ways in which Hypnotherapy can be beneficial to those determined to stop. The most vital two parts of using hypnotherapy to quit are -
1. YOU must WANT to quit. This is without doubt the most important part to gaining a successful outcome.
2. Dealing with the root of the problem.
Have you ever noticed that smoking isn’t just a habit but something you do at specific times of the day, at lunch break, on a morning with coffee or tea, after a meal and so on? That’s because addiction works in a unique way that tricks your brain into believing that smoking is your reward, in turn this releases dopamine which makes us feel good. Add that to the stimulating effects of nicotine and the brain takes something that is incredibly harmful and unwittingly fires off the reward centres in your brain keeping you hooked to a habit that doesn’t serve you in a positive way at all.
In our hypnotherapy to quit smoking we aim to sever that link between smoking and the reward centres in your brain using a variety of psychological techniques that tackle the root cause of why you smoke and put an end to a habit that can shorten your life by a whole decade!! That’s right! By taking the step to quit you’ll potentially be adding a whole ten years to your life expectancy! You’ll also save money, feel healthier, not have to worry about where you can smoke or when you can smoke, food will taste more delicious and of course you’ll no longer smell like a smoker!
Smoking and Disease
Smoking is responsible for 12% of all deaths in Malta. For every person who dies because of smoking, at least 30 people live with a serious smoking-related illness worldwide. Smoking causes cancer, heart disease, stroke, lung diseases, diabetes, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which includes emphysema and chronic bronchitis. Smoking also increases risk for tuberculosis, certain eye diseases, and problems of the immune system, including rheumatoid arthritis.
Second hand smoke
Secondhand smoke exposure contributes to approximately 41,000 deaths among nonsmoking adults and 400 deaths in infants each year. Secondhand smoke causes stroke, lung cancer, and coronary heart disease in adults. Children who are exposed to secondhand smoke are at increased risk for sudden infant death syndrome, acute respiratory infections, middle ear disease, more severe asthma, respiratory symptoms, and slowed lung growth.
All of these incredibly negative aspects are great reasons to quit and Hypnotherapy can help you achieve that goal in a very unique way.
