Urine today. Cancer tomorrow!

I was talking with a urologist last week when I had to go for an examination. One of the first things that he asked me was did I smoke?

I was intrigued by this and I asked him why he was so concerned about whether I smoked cigarettes or not. What he told me blew me away.

He told me that 90% of all bladder cancers that he saw were caused by smoking cigarettes. He said that when you smoke the toxins from the smoke enter your bloodstream. These toxins […]

Control. What me!!

One of the things that amaze me at quit smoking in 60 minutes here in Capalaba is that most of the people that have come to quit smoking do not see that the habit of smoking cigarettes controls them.

It is common to have a person sitting in front of me that by their own admission structures their day, no lives around cigarettes. They are constantly making sure that they have enough cigarettes so that they do not run out or they have to leave a gathering so that they can smoke.

Electronic Cigarettes. Are they safe?

At the moment the jury is out about if e cigarettes are safe or not. Here’s something I’d like you to consider, but before that a little information on nicotine.

Nicotine is extremely poisonous and it is only the fact that your body heat causes a change in molecular structure that prevents it from killing you. Nicotine has been used for many years to produce some very effective pesticides so that gives you some idea of how poisonous it can be.

When you inhale nicotine it causes your blood vessels […]

Life is about choices

The other day I was listening on the radio to someone who was talking about their smoking habit and I thought that it was an excellent example of how our choices dictate our lives.

The person had said that he thought that smoking cigarettes defined who he was. He enjoyed smoking and nothing was going to make him quit smoking. Even when he had severe malaria and was seriously he continued to smoke. He said that he would drag himself outside and smoke a cigarette.

One day after an extremely […]

Some myths about smoking

I was just recently reading an article of how a university in America was going to ban smoking on campus. In the article the writer said that few or if any people gave up smoking after 26 because it was so addictive.
At Quit Smoking Expert here in Capalaba we help a lot of people to quit smoking cigarettes in 60 minutes. Because of this I think we are in a position to say that this is really not true at all.
What we have found is that the majority of people that come to us to quit smoking using hypnosis are […]

Don’t replace one bad habit with another

At Quit Smoking Expert people come to me to stop smoking cigarettes in 60 minutes. They think that once they have quit smoking they will have a healthy life. It’s not that simple.

Quitting smoking cigarettes is really just the beginning of leading a healthy life. Unfortunately a lot of people do not realise this and become disappointed. One of the really bad habits that I frequently encounter is the substitute of food for smoking.

It is a complete myth that you substitute food for smoking. It is a choice […]

Stuff Health I Want to Smoke!

I had an interesting case last week from a client who came to see me at Quit Smoking in 60 Minutes in Capalaba.

The client had a heart attack and as a result he quit smoking. He had quit for two years but came to see me because he was getting cravings to smoke again. It was so bad that he was avoiding having any contact with anyone that was smoking. Since most of his workmates were smokers he was avoiding them and getting a reputation of being anti-social.

What was […]

What’s does it really cost?

When people come to me to quit smoking at Quit Smoking in 60 Minutes we always talk about the cost of smoking.

What is interesting is that some people have an idea of how much it is costing them but the vast majority have no idea of the cost of their smoking habit. In Australia today it is costing $1 per cigarette. This means that the average smoker is now spending about $8000 a year.

Before using hypnosis I point this out and a lot of my clients are shocked […]

Is That Really True?

When people come to me to quit smoking at Transformations Coaching and Hypnotherapy I ask them why they want to quit smoking cigarettes. This is a vital question because it is the prime motivator for quitting.

The usual answers are health, money, children, control, smell and it is anti-social. But is this really the true reason?

There is a lot more under these answers and one needs to get to these to really have an successful outcome. If you look at a lot of the reasons why a person wants to quit cigarettes you will find that the underlying motivation is to […]
