SMOKING CESSATION
DO YOU SMOKE?
►The
people of Washington State voted to expand the Clean Indoor Air Act
November '05.
►Initiative
901 gives Washington the nation's strictest statewide smoking ban,
making all public places and work places smoke-free.
►The
new law prohibits smoking in any indoor enclosed public place,
including workplaces, bars, restaurants, bowling alleys, skating
rinks, non-tribal casinos, reception areas and most hotel rooms.
►The
measure took effect on December 8th, 2005.
SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR YOU?
If you smoke, it means being
inconvenienced at your favorite public places.
It means being forced (by your
habit) to leave the conversation at the table or bar to go and light
up, often alone, in foul weather, missing out on moments and
memories with friends or family that can never be relived.
The alternative isn't much
better!
You may choose to rough it, dealing
with withdrawal symptoms just so you don't miss out, or appear
anti-social. Impatience, touchiness/moodiness, not being 'all
there', preoccupied with your craving. All in all, not enjoying
yourself, and not being pleasant to be around anyway!
Yes, I have been there myself, and
I can tell you with absolute certainty that
IT DOESN'T
HAVE TO BE THAT WAY!!
YOU, TOO, CAN
BE SMOKE-FREE!
Enjoy the benefits of a healthy life style!

smoking
after one session. But here are some
results that were statistically generated in a controlled study. It
shows single session
hypnosis
increased a smoker's
success
chance by 1000% from 6% to 60%.
COMPARATIVE SUCCESS RATES

24%- Acupuncture
10%- Nicotine Replacement Therapy
6%- Willpower alone

success
with multiple session one-on-one
hypnotherapy.
Research on the
effectiveness of
hypnosis
for quitting
smoking
To find the most effective method to
stop smoking Frank Schmidt and research
student Chockalingham Viswesvaran from the university of Iowa used a
meta-analysis, utilizing the results of more than 600 studies
totaling nearly 72,000 people.
The results, which were published in the
Journal of Applied
Psychology and included 48 studies of
hypnosis covering 6000 smokers, clearly showed that
hypnosis, to use the same terminology
as the quit counselor, was three times more effective than NRT [Nicotene
Replacement Therapy].

Alzheimer patients
have no withdrawal symptoms
"Alzheimer patients wake
up every day of the year and “forget” that they smoked for 40 years.
They do not have withdrawal symptoms. In addition, thousands of
people quit smoking in this country alone every day. Their bodies do
not malfunction. I've never had a smoker tell me they wake up just
to smoke. Usually, they wake up to go the bathroom or for another
reason and they smoke when they are up."
