It’s true. Many people think that chewing tobacco is less deadly. After all, cigarette smoking can cause emphysema or lung cancer. The sad reality, though, is that smokeless tobacco can kill you.
In fact, smokeless tobacco users often become victims of oral or throat cancer. Since the only major symptom is a sore throat, the cancer can be very advanced before it is detected.
Why do people start using chewing tobacco? Many people believe it is harmless, and it is often considered more socially acceptable than cigarettes – people who use smokeless tobacco aren’t polluting everyone else’s air.
It’s physically and psychologically addictive, too. The nicotine is physically habit forming, but the physical addiction is only a small part of the reason people continue to use even after they want to quit.
People relate the use of chewing tobacco to pleasurable activities such as playing baseball, golfing, or relaxing after a hard day. Others use it to relieve stress or cope with difficult situations. In both cases, the subconscious mind develops an association between the use of smokeless tobacco and a pleasurable activity, or with the avoidance of stress.
When you decide to quit, then, you’re battling not just the physical addiction, but also the unconscious associations your mind has created with the tobacco use. That’s why tobacco cessation programs that are aimed solely at the physical addiction don’t work.
Through Ericksonian hypnosis, however, even “hardcore” tobacco users will learn to relax and program their conscious minds to develop an aversion to smokeless tobacco. Within seven sessions, clients learn to lose their cravings and desires to chew tobacco.
Our “Kick Bacc!“ program works without causing people to substitute food for tobacco, too, so you won’t have to worry about gaining extra weight. Since you learn to relax while quitting, you won’t develop the anxiety and irritability that many people experience while trying to quit.
If you’re ready to quit smokeless tobacco, take advantage of “Kick Bacc!“ and start today. The rest of your life is waiting for you!
