Hypnosis is provern to work for those who truely want to stop smoking. Generally one session is enough to Stop Smoking. In addition to the initial FREE 30 minute consulation the Stop Smoking Session normally lasts between one and a half to 2 hours.
| Tobacco smoke contains over 4000 different chemicals, many of which are harmful such as: | ||
| Benzene | Formaldehyde | Ammonia | Hydrogen Cyanide | Acetone | Arsenic |
The three main components of smoke, all of which affect the human body and can cause diseases, are tar, nicotine and carbon monoxide.
When a smoker inhales, the cigarette smoke condenses and about 70% of the tar contained in the smoke is deposited in the lungs. Many of the substances in the tar are already known to cause cancer.
Irritants in tar can also damage the lungs by causing narrowing of the bronchioles, coughing, an increase in bronchiole mucus and damage to the small hairs, which help protect the lungs from dirt and infection.
This is a powerful and fast acting addictive drug. Most people who smoke are dependant on the nicotine in the cigarettes. Nicotine is absorbed into the bloodstream and the effects are felt on the brain seven to eight seconds later. Nicotine also has many complex effects on the rest of the body. In small amounts it stimulates nerve impulses in the central and autonomic nervous system but in large amounts nicotine inhibits these nerve impulses.
Immediate effects of nicotine are:
| •increase in heart rate | •increase in blood pressure |
| •increase in hormone production | •changes in metabolism |
| •constriction of small bool vessles under the skin | •changes in blood composition |
This is a poisonous gas found in relatively high concentrations in cigarette smoke. It combines readily with haemoglobin – the oxygen-carrying substance in blood – to form carboxyhaemoglobin. In fact it combines more readily with haemoglobin that oxygen does, so up to 15% of smoker’s blood may be carrying carbon monoxide round the blood instead of oxygen.
Oxygen is essential for body tissues and cells to function efficiently. If the supply of oxygen is reduced for long periods, this can cause problems with growth, repair and absorption of essential nutrients; carbon Monoxide is therefore particularly harmful during pregnancy as it reduces the amount of oxygen carried to the uterus and fetus.
Carbon Monoxide can also affect the ‘electrical’ activity of the heart and, combined with other changes in the blood associated with smoking and diet, may encourage fatty deposits to form on the walls of the arteries. This process can eventually lead to the arteries becoming blocked, causing hearty disease and other major circulation problems.
Improvements in your health will be almost instantaneous. See below:
your blood pressure and pulse return to normal
nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in your blood are halved
carbon monoxide will be eliminated from your body and your lungs will have started to clear out the tars that’s been clogging them up
no nicotine left in your body. Your senses of taste and smell are greatly improved
your breathing becomes easier and your energy levels increase
your circulation improves and exercise, including walking, is easier
coughs, wheezing and breathing problems improve as lung function is increased by 10%
risk of heart attack is halved
risk of lung cancer is halved
riskof heart attack is at the same level as non-smokers
risk of developing lung cancer, other cancers, heart disease, stroke and chronic lung disease is reduced – sooner you stop, the sooner your risk starts going down
Stopping smoking at any age increases your life expectancy, provided that you stop before the onset of serious disease. Even if you have developed disease, you can benefit from stopping as your body will be under less strain and be able to fight more easily
You’ll be less stressed and tired, and physical activity will be easier. Food well taste better and your skin will look younger
