Everything About Quit Smoking Hypnosis

Does Smoking Relieve Stress?

Does smoking relieve stress? The answer to this is yes and no. Nicotine causes the blood vessels to contract and therefore causes your blood pressure to rise. By causing your blood pressure to rise it causes an increase in your stress. Therefore smoking causes an increase in stress in an already stressful situation. It becomes a self-perpetuating cycle.
There is no doubt that smoking can relieve stress, but it is not nicotine; it is the physical hand movement. The actual hand movement of placing and taking a cigarette from your mouth is the adult equivalent of putting a dummy in your […]

Cigarette Filters

In 1925, inventor Boris Aivaz patented the process of making a cigarette filter from crepe paper, with some variants including cellulose wadding. Aivaz produced the first cigarette filter from 1927 in, but uptake was low due to a lack of the machinery required to produce cigarettes with the filtered tip.
From 1935, a British company began to develop a machine that made cigarettes incorporating the tipped filter. It was considered a specialty item until 1954, when manufacturers introduced the machine more broadly, following a spate of speculative announcements from doctors and researchers concerning a possible link between lung disease and smoking.

Cigarettes: Plain or Branded Packaging

At the moment in Australia there is a big push to sell cigarettes in plain packaging in the hope that this will get people to stop smoking. I believe that this assumption at best is wrong. People will smoke no matter what package the cigarettes come in. Their aim is to smoke cigarettes and I believe that plain packaging will have no effect. It is a bit like the money for cigarettes, you will always find the money to but them. In Africa cigarettes are sold singly and there is no packaging involved, it has no effect on stopping people […]

Be Honest with Yourself

I recently had a customer who started smoking again within a few hours of hypnosis. When this happens there is generally one of two things happening:
There is a part of the subconscious brain that does not want to let go of smoking. When this happens it is fairly easy to correct by a process called reframing.
The person did not want to give up. When I rang this particular customer to come back for a reframing session she refused to come back. After talking to her for a while she admitted that she did not want to quit smoking and had […]

Mindset

I have been mind coaching two olympic springboard divers and what struck me was the similarity between there dedication and courage and quit smoking. The divers have made up their minds, set their goals and focused entirely on going to the olympics and competing for a medal. As with quit smoking you need to make up your mind to quit, set the goal to quit and put all of your focus and effort into quitting. With the divers quitting was not an option but with someone who wants to quit smoking quitting is the only option.
Get into this mindset and […]

Why do Farmers Grow Tobacco?

Farmers grow tobacco for the following reasons:
• It is a legally traded agricultural commodity for which, in global terms, there continues to be brisk demand;
• It thrives on the less fertile soils on the farm or region;
• There is no better cash crop in most environments suited to tobacco;
• As a rule, sale is guaranteed and price negotiated or determined by free auctions;
• Holdings are generally small in tobacco areas, necessitating high value cash crops to ensure family income;
• Good returns can be achieved per unit area of land;
• Tobacco-growing attracts sound infrastructure providing financial aid, technical assistance, transport and storage;

Successful Hypnosis

To have a successful hypnosis session the customer must want to quit smoking and then trust the hypnotherapist. Without these two components the hypnosis session will not be successful.
As has been said time and time again the customer must want to quit smoking. It’s like all things in life, if you don’t want to you wan’t. It’s surprising the number of people that come to a quit smoking session that don’t want to quit. It seems a bit bizare but a lot of people come to a quit session because their partner has basically forced them to come. In this […]

How to get the best out of Hypnosis

When hypnosis is used to quit smoking, it is obvious that for it to succeed the customer has to go into a trance and trust the hypnotist. Despite this customers will still resist or doubt and if this occurs there is a very real chance that they will start smoking again. Here are a few tips on how to get the best out of hypnosis:
Want to quit smoking – you cannot be made to do what you do not want. Despite what you see on the stage, those people still wanted to show off and do strange things. Get very […]

Cigarette Cravings and the Brain

Within the mind of every smoker trying to quit rages a battle between the higher-order functions of the brain wanting to break the habit and the lower-order functions screaming for another cigarette (Science Daily, Mar 2007)
Brain scans reveal three specific regions deep within the brain that appear to control dependence on nicotine and craving for cigarettes. These regions play important roles in some of the key motivations for smoking: to calm down when stressed, to achieve pleasure and to help concentration.
“If you can’t calm down, can’t derive pleasure and can’t control yourself or concentrate, then it will be extremely difficult […]

Smoking and Blood Sugar

Blood sugar plummets in many people when first quitting. The most common side effects felt during the first three days can often be traced back to blood sugar issues. Symptoms such as headache, inability to concentrate, dizziness, time perception distortions, and the ubiquitous sweet tooth encountered by many, are often associated with this blood sugar drop. The symptoms of low blood sugar are basically the same symptoms as not having enough oxygen, similar to reactions experienced at high altitudes.
The reason being the inadequate supply of sugar and/or oxygen means the brain is getting an incomplete fuel. If you have […]
