Cardiovascular Disease (Heart and Circulatory System)
- Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, & Cigarette smokers are 2–4 times more likely to develop heart disease than nonsmokers.
- Cigarette smoking nearly doubles a person's risk for stroke.
- Smoking causes narrowing of the blood vessels (arteries) and reduced circulation. Smokers are more than 10 times as likely to develop peripheral vascular disease than nonsmokers.
- Smoking causes abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).
Respiratory Disease and Other Effects
- There is a tenfold increase in the risk of dying from chronic obstructive pulmonary (lung) disease (COPD) by smoking.
- About 90% of all deaths from COPD are attributable to cigarette smoking.
- Cigarette smoking has many adverse reproductive and early childhood effects, including an increased risk for infertility, preterm delivery, stillbirth, low birth weight, and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
- Postmenopausal women who smoke have lower bone density (osteoporosis) than women who never smoked. Women who smoke have an increased risk for hip fracture than those who have never smoked.

Cancer
- Cancer is the second leading cause of death and was among the first diseases directly linked to smoking.
- Smoking causes about 90% of lung cancer deaths in men and almost 80% of lung cancer deaths in women.
- The risk of dying from lung cancer is more than 23 times higher among men who smoke cigarettes, and about 13 times higher among women who smoke cigarettes compared with never smokers.
- Smoking causes cancers of the bladder, oral cavity, pharynx, larynx (voice box), esophagus, cervix, kidney, lung, pancreas, and stomach, and causes acute myeloid leukemia.
WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF STOP SMOKING?
THE GOOD NEWS: Your body can usually reverse the damage done by smoking relatively quickly, but only if you stop sooner, rather than later!
When you consider that nicotine can leave your body within 24 hours of becoming a non smoker and when you consider that this means you will also have stopped killing yourself slowly on a daily basis, isn’t it obvious that the intelligent choice is to book a session of Hypnosis & Neuro Linguistic Programming today and give yourself a whole new lease of life?

Stop smoking, and within...
- 20 minutes: Blood pressure drops to normal; pulse rate drops to normal; body temperature of hands and feet increases to normal
- 8 hours: Carbon-monoxide blood level drops to normal; oxygen blood level increases to normal
- 24 hours: Chance of heart attack begins to decrease
- 48 hours: Nerve endings start to re-grow; ability to smell and taste is enhanced
- 1/2 to 3 months: Circulation improves; walking becomes easier; lung function increases up to 30%
- 3 to 9 months: Coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath decrease; cilia re-grow in lungs, increasing ability to "clean" lungs, reducing likelihood of infection; body's overall energy increases
- 1 year: Added risk of coronary heart disease is now half that of a smoker
- 5 years: Lung cancer death rate decreases by half
- 10 years: Lung cancer death rate equivalent to non-smoker; precancerous cells are replaced by healthy cells; risk of other cancers (mouth, throat, bladder) decreases
- 15 years: You are no more at risk of heart disease than if you never smoked!
Hypnosis Makes it Easy
Our unique hypnosis technique makes it so easy that after only one hour you'll leave as a happy non-smoker - not feeling deprived, not feeling that you've made a sacrifice, and not feeling any pain. Instead, you'll have a huge sense of relief and elation that you have at last achieved what all smokers long to achieve, you have become a happy, permanent, non-smoker.
When smokers try to stop with other methods they suffer misery and depression caused by the feeling that they are being deprived of a pleasure or a crutch. The beauty of hypnosis, and the way we use hypnosis in particular, is that it removes this feeling of deprivation. Hypnosis removes the need, and the desire to smoke. You won't need useless aids, gimmicks, or substitutes. You won't need any nicotine gum or patches, inhalers, nasal sprays, needles or lasers. All that you have to do with hypnosis is sit back in a nice comfortable chair and relax. It doesn't get any easier than that!

Our Unique Approach
Since the British Medical Association (BMA) and the American Medical Association (AMA) approved the use of clinical hypnosis in the 1950s, thousands of people have found hypnosis to be an effective way to stop smoking, lose weight, and otherwise improve their lives. Of course, there are varying degrees of success with hypnosis because much depends upon the skill, experience, and general competence of the individual hypnotherapist - as well as the techniques being used by them. The beauty of our unique approach is that we use the best of traditional hypnotherapy techniques and combine them with the new science of Neuro-Linguistic programming (NLP). This combination produces an even greater level of effectiveness. It’s like turbo-charging your hypnosis.

This is the reason why there is NO excessive weight gain or other problems associated with kicking the habit. The only side effects are an increase in health, wealth, and freedom.
