Stop Smoking with Stoptober 2013 the Easy Way

Smokers in the UK are encouraged to stop smoking for 28 days in October 2013.  If you can stop for 28 days you are five times more likely to stop for good.


"During the Stoptober 2012 campaign, a staggering £25 million was saved by the 160,000 people from not buying cigarettes.
Chief Medical Officer Professor Dame Sally Davies said: “Half of all smokers die as a result of smoking, this is the single biggest cause of premature death taking more than 100,000 lives in the UK and costing the NHS up to £2.7bn each year.
It is estimated that you add an additional seven days of life for every 28 days you remain smokefree.  
“We want every smoker to consider making a quit attempt this October and join the thousands of people who are feeling the benefits from stopping smoking last year.” (1)
That is the good news but stopping smoking by willpower alone is hard, very hard.  The extremely addictive drug of nicotine does not give up easily as anyone who has tried to go "cold turkey" will tell you.

Nicotine replacement products might help kick the habit but they keep you addicted to nicotine.  I know someone who has been chewing Nicorette chewing gum for 15 years and the gum has been linked to oral cancer.

I encourage you to stop smoking in October but do it the easy way with safe, natural and effective hypnosis.
 “Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little”.  ~(New Scientist, Volume 136 issue 1845 31 Oct 1992, page 6)
The average smoker smokes a packet of 20 cigarettes per day at £7 so spends about £210 every month ...of net income.  Stop smoking with me and donate what you would have spent on smoking to a great charity.  I recommend Brainstrust which helps patients with brain tumours and their carers.

No Smoking Day 50


I have just received an email from a 62 year old man who came to see me to stop smoking in one session:
“I thought I would let you know I am now on day 50, smoke free!  I am amazed how easy it was/is to give up after over 40 years.  Even in the presence of smokers (who sometimes maliciously offer me a cigarette) it doesn’t bother me, but makes me even more determined.”
My STOP SMOKING IN ONE SESSION technique works time and time again because I include several elements which I consider necessary for immediate results and long-term success.

I want to ensure that new non-smokers are not troubled by other people's smoke, are not tempted by their "still smoking friends", do not replace the smoking habit with over-eating and have lost the addiction to nicotine completely.

Trying to give up smoking by using nicotine replacement patches, gum or tablets still keeps you addicted to nicotine.  In fact nicotine chewing gum has now been linked to mouth & throat cancer.

There are so many reasons why stopping smoking is the right decision to take whether for your health, your appearance, setting the right example to your children, giving you a substantial pay rise - the list goes on.  Maybe you are feeling the effects of damaging your lungs when doing exercise, your skin is ageing a bit too fast, you notice your white ceilings aren't quite so white any more or see people flinch to move away from you because you reek of stale smoke.   Sorry to be blunt but smokers have no idea how bad they smell to non-smokers and we don't want the stench on our clothes and hair if we visit you.

For whatever reason you first started to smoke, there are plenty of better reasons to stop.

If you really want to stop and are now ready, call me because I give results.  I'm not the cheapest but I'm also not the most expensive.  I do guarantee you this - the relatively small investment of my fee compared to years of smoking costs will be the best investment in yourself you can possibly buy.

I am based near Portsmouth in Hampshire on the south coast of England.  I can also arrange to see clients for stop smoking in London or Brussels.  My international clients find me convenient to reach with Southampton Airport just 13 miles away or a train ride from London Gatwick Airport.  Visit my site http://www.antoniaharrison.com/Hypnotherapy.html

Hypnosis Effective at Helping People to Stop Smoking

Hypnosis is probably most famous for helping people to stop smoking, recently Matt Damon even testified to the benefits of quitting smoking; he told Jay Leno that he visited a hypnotist and it worked:
"I went to a hypnotist... It worked. I swear to god it worked. It was the greatest decision I ever made in my life!" - Matt Damon on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno
The research into this area of hypnotherapy is very solid, again it not only shows a massively increased success rate when using hypnosis to help you to stop smoking, but it points to hypnosis as the most effective form of smoking cessation therapy (with a higher success rate than nicotine patches / gum etc):

Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking

In 1992 the University of Iowa conducted a meta-analysis of studies using different methods to try and help people to quit smoking. This was the largest ever scientific comparison - looking at more than 600 studies which contained 72,000 people in total, from America and Europe. They found that on average, hypnosis was over three times as effective as nicotine patches or nicotine replacement methods and 15 times as effective as trying to quit alone, and concluded that hypnosis is by far the most effective way of giving up smoking.

90.6% Success rate when using hypnosis to stop smoking

The University of Washington medical school conducted a study where they used hypnosis on 43 patients to help them stop smoking. Of the 43 consecutive patients undergoing hypnosis, 39 reported remaining abstinent from tobacco use at follow-up (up to 3 years post-treatment). Barber concluded that hypnosis is an extremely effective way to quit smoking and this study represents a 90.6% success rate using hypnosis.

81% Stopped smoking after hypnosis

30 patients were referred by their doctor to Texas A&M University for treatment to help them stop smoking. Of this group 21 patients returned and were given 3 sessions of hypnosis for smoking cessation. Results showed that immediately after treatment 81% of patients reported that they had stopped smoking. Then in a followup 12 months later 48% of these patients reported that they were still not smoking. Elkins GR and Rajab MH concluded that hypnosis was indeed a statistically significant method of helping people to stop smoking.
