Face It, Smoking Just Isn’t Cool Any More

The Great American Smoke Out is scheduled for November 20, 2008. Although it’s still a few weeks away, it isn’t too soon at all to be thinking about taking the last puff of your life. Hundreds of thousands of people all across the United States have quit or cut down because of the increased pressure on smokers to extinguish their butts.

Smoking used to be considered “cool.” Popular movie and television stars smoked. Hospital staffs smoked. Soldiers once received cigarette rations along with their meals.

Since then, scientists and doctors have learned a lot about smoking. Many people today know how dangerous it is to light up, but they just haven’t been able to kick the habit and free themselves of the addiction. If you’re one of these people, you know it’s time to quit and regain your health before it’s too late, but you just haven’t figured out how.

Most quit smoking programs aren’t very successful, either, and that doesn’t help matters. Most programs have a success rate of less than 20 percent. Even hypnotherapy for cigarette smoking has a success rate of less than 25 percent.

If you’re a smoker, these figures probably sound pretty depressing. Who wants to try to fight against all odds to conquer an addiction that’s been part of daily life for decades? Those figures are almost enough to make someone give up and decide it’s not even worth trying!

Are you ready for some good news? Are you ready to hear about a treatment approach that actually works? Would you like to take advantage of an alternative that’s almost three times more successful than counseling or nicotine replacement therapies?

Let me tell you about Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This treatment offers a plan that really works. Why? Because NLP doesn’t just focus on the physical part of the addiction. It focuses on the aspects of the addiction that are controlled by the unconscious mind.

Most people hate to be controlled by anything, especially by their unconscious. Slavery to addiction just isn’t American. They wonder what to do about it, while they continue to live in their chains day after day, longing for a chance to escape.

If this describes you, you don’t have to be told. You already know. So are you going to keep on living in your chains, or are you ready to break free and really live?

Make Quitting Chewing Tobacco Much Easier

When you started, it looked really cool. Many of the Major League Baseball players were doing it, and when some older friends offered you a bit, you felt really mature. You probably didn’t have any idea how hard it was going to be to stop chewing tobacco – or how deadly this substance was going to be. Now you know, and it’s too late. Or is it?

Studies have shown that a person’s greatest risk of developing mouth and throat cancers is a result of chewing tobacco (also referred to as dip, snuff, or chew) occurred during the years the individual was using it. Once you have used chewing tobacco, you will never again have the same risk of developing throat cancer as someone who has never used it, but your risk will drop sharply after quitting.

Quitting tobacco, however, is hard. Certain aspects of the nicotine cause a person’s cells to become physically dependent on the nicotine. This makes it almost impossible to quit, and without a successful quit program, people risk relapsing for many years after their initial quit date.

Most tobacco cessation products focus on this aspect of addiction, the physical component of the habit. Unfortunately, however, this accounts for only about 10 percent of the reason that people return to tobacco after kicking the habit. The remaining 90 percent of the habit involves unconscious reasons, which make it difficult to stop chewing tobacco or quit smoking.

Some of these reasons include unconscious associations between nicotine and pleasurable activities, or as a means of stress reduction. Hypnotherapists and NLP practitioners use approaches designed to help people overcome the unconscious component of their addiction, resulting in a much more successful outcome.

In fact, people who use hypnotherapy and NLP to quit chewing tobacco are far more likely to experience success than people who use nicotine replacement or behavioral therapies. If your life depends on your ability to kick the habit, why not choose the most successful methods of quitting.
