Stop Smoking in One Hour

Many smokers want to stop smoking, but find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to do so because smoking is a subconscious habit. When a smoker has their first ever cigarette, it's unlikely they find it enjoyable, but they carry on practising until they become very proficient.

Once they become a regular smoker, eventually they no longer smoke at a conscious level. It becomes a subconscious action, which means that, by definition, the conscious mind is no longer in control. Their conscious mind can try as hard as it likes to stop smoking, but the sunconscious will carry on the habit because that's what it's been programmed to do.

The subconscious cannot distinguish between a good habit and a bad habit, so we need to persuade the subconscious to change its behaviour pattern. To do this we find out what satisfaction the subconscious derives from smoking, and then transfer that satisfaction onto something that is more advantageous and beneficial for the client.

This prevents the client from seeking to fill the void created by stopping smoking with another vice, such as overeating. It also means that the continued cravings for cigarettes that are suffered by many ex-smokers can be avoided, as well as other symptoms, such as increased irritability. This can all be achieved in one hour long session.

It's important to stress that clients have to want to give up smoking for the therapy to work, rather than just thinking that they should give up. If a client isn't committed then they are just wasting their money. Our Stop Smoking therapy is extremely effective, but it's not magic. However, if a client wants to give up smoking they will be able to stop.
