Still Wondering About Giving Up Smoking

Need a good enough reason to quit smoking?

How about knowing that about 106 000 people a year die in the UK from smoking. That's a fifth of all deaths easily prevented by just not smoking.

How about knowing that the smoke from a cigarette contains over 4000 chemicals including carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide, tar and of course, nicotine.

Or how about knowing that the average smoker will die 10 years earlier than they would have done otherwise?

Maybe knowing that 120 000 or so men in all age groups have become impotent from their smoking would be a good reason for you to quit smoking?

Fertility drops by 10%-40% for female smokers and smoking while pregnant increases the chances of miscarriage and often leads to premature or underweight babies.

And that's just a start. Don't even think about the 42% of the UK's children who are passive smokers through living with at least one smoking adult. Over 17 000 of these children are admitted to hospital each year with respiratory problems.

But you knew all this already, didn't you? And it doesn't necessarily make giving up smoking any easier.

So what will?

Well, maybe you know people who've used hypnotherapy to help them quit smoking. As with everything else, there are therapists and there are good therapists. Choose a good one. How? By asking around. Who do you know who's been successful at achieving their goal. Who helped them? Would they recommend this person? Did it work for them?

Alternatively visit the website of Sounds Positive, Henley on Thames, for information on giving up smoking and for their Stop Smoking Now programme which is fully downloadable and uses hypnotherapy, NLP and EFT to help you quit. You can use the programme at home, from the moment you download it and make a difference straight away.

So! You still wondering about giving up smoking? Or are you going to do something about it and make this year a healthier one for you and those around you?
