Factsheets - Nicotine Addiction
Stop Smoking in 1 session
The first question that clients often ask me is, "Is it really possible to stop
smoking after one session?" This is just before they tell me how they have tried in
the past to stop unsuccessfully. YES. It is absolutely possible to break the nicotine
habit and to stop smoking in one session. I have helped thousands of people to stop
smoking in this manner and most of my business is based on referrals.

The next question that client at this point would ask me is, "How?" The simple
answer to this is that using a process that I have developed over the years that
combines psychotherapy, counseling, brain entrainment and hypnosis, it is possible
to change a negative habit, to remove an addictive behavior in one session. Each session
takes between one to one half hours.
The third question that most client would like to know, especially women is,
"What are the side-effects of quitting smoking through hypnosis? Will I put on weight?"
The answer is NO. If you chose to stop smoking through hypnosis, other than side
effects that are similar to those of an intense detoxification process, there are no
major side effects and you will not put on weight. It is perhaps one of the few ways, if
not the only way, to stop smoking and not put on the pounds.
Read the Fact List then ask yourself, "Do you really want to continue smoking?"
- Smoking KILLS.
- Smoking harms nearly every organ of the body; causing many diseases and reducing the health of smokers in general.
- The adverse health effects from cigarette smoking account for an estimated 438,000 deaths, or nearly 1 of every 5 deaths, each year in the United States.
- More deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined.
- Every year hundreds of thousands of people around the world die from diseases caused by smoking.
- One in two lifetime smokers will die from their habit. Half of these deaths will occur in middle age.
- Tobacco smoke also contributes to a number of cancers eg. cancers of the bladder, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx (voice box), esophagus, cervix, kidney, lung, pancreas, and stomach, and causes acute myeloid leukemia.
- The mixture of nicotine and carbon monoxide in each cigarette you smoke temporarily increases your heart rate and blood pressure, straining your heart and blood vessels.
- This can cause heart attacks and stroke. It slows your blood flow, cutting off oxygen to your feet and hands. Some smokers end up having their limbs amputated.
- Tar coats your lungs like soot in a chimney and causes cancer. A 20-a-day smoker breathes in up to a full cup (210 g) of tar in a year.
- Changing to low-tar cigarettes does not help because smokers usually take deeper puffs and hold the smoke in for longer, dragging the tar deeper into their lungs.
- Carbon monoxide robs your muscles, brain and body tissue of oxygen, making your whole body and especially your heart work harder. Over time, your airways swell up and let less air into your lungs.
- Smoking causes disease and is a slow way to die. The strain put on your body by smoking often causes years of suffering. Emphysema is an illness that slowly rots your lungs. People with emphysema often get bronchitis again and again, and suffer lung and heart failure.
- Lung cancer from smoking is caused by the tar in tobacco smoke. Men who smoke are ten times more likely to die from lung cancer than non-smokers.
- Heart disease and strokes are also more common among smokers than non-smokers.
- Smoking causes fat deposits to narrow and block blood vessels which leads to heart attack.
- Smoking causes around one in five deaths from heart disease.
- In younger people, three out of four deaths from heart disease are due to smoking.
- Smoking adversely affects the quality of sperm and eggs, increasing the risk of unhealthy babies.
- Woman smokers are 5 times more likely to suffer a miscarriage than non-smokers.
- In men, smoking over time can cause erectile dysfunction and lower the quality of the sperms.
- In women, smoking over time can lower the quality of the eggs
- Smoking doubles the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) leading to irreversible vision loss in the Western world, especially among the elderly.
- Smoking does not calm you, it stresses you.
What do I do if I want to stop?
The first thing to do is to take a moment and seriously ask yourself this question, "On a scale of zero to ten whereby zero means that I have zero motivation to stop amoking and ten means that I am absolutely determined to stop, where am I at this moment on this scale?"
If your answer lies between 9 to 10 on the scale, email me at soo@asiahypnosis.com with your medical and smoking history and enough information for me to do a general assessment to ensure that you are a right candidate for this form of treatment.
If you are a good candidate, we will then make an appointment for you to come in and in one session, you will emerge a non-smoker. There are no guarantee that every individual will emerge a non-smoker. This is because in this one session, all that we do is simply to remove your smoking habit and urges. We will not be delving into deep psychological root causes which can take months and many sessions to uncover. It is a fact however that for more than 90% of my clients, removal of the behavior is all that is needed for them to permanently become a non-smoker.
