If you’ve ever tried to stop smoking, you’ll know that it is very difficult, because it is both a psychological and a physiological habit.

Some say that quitting smoking is harder than going cold turkey to end a heroin addiction.

Many smokers kid themselves that ‘they can stop any time’, but their minds think differently.

Subconsciously, they yearn for nicotine, while their physiology also demands their regular fix. Smokers have programmed their minds to consider smoking as a pleasurable ritual; it’s something to do with their hands while they are taking a break.

While they consciously might be determined to give up cigarettes, their subconscious minds rule the roost and have been conditioned to enjoy and look forward to, the next smoke. Deep down in their minds, they are hooked.

So, no matter how hard they try to quit smoking, they always fail because their minds are against them. In fact, research has shown that the success rate for people using pure willpower alone to quit smoking, is only six percent – that means that 94 attempting to quit out of 100, are doomed to fail.

This is so, even when most smokers are aware that tobacco smoking significantly increases the risk of coronary heart disease, stroke and a range of cancers. Medical research has shown that about 13 per cent of deaths from cardiovascular disease are due to smoking tobacco. Not to mention the increasingly high cost of cigarettes, which eats into smoker’s income.

It’s even been shown that breathing near a smoker is dangerous. Passive exposure to smoke has serious health consequences, including an increased risk of heart disease among adults. There are very many proven reasons why everyone should stop smoking, and very few benefits.

If you want to know how to quit smoking, you should definitely consider hypnosis. Research shows that smokers have a success rate of up to 60 per cent when they use hypnotism to stop smoking.

Professional hypno-therapists have had good success in helping smokers to break their nicotine addiction. The process is pleasant and easy, but individual sessions can be expensive. An alternative is to use a professionally-recorded hypnosis CD to quit smoking. You can listen to such a CD, by a trained hypno-therapist, as often as you want, in the comfort of your own home.

Hypnosis can be a valuable method to help smokers to reject their costly habit and addiction, by making them ‘single minded’ in their determination to live a healthier, and longer, life.
