The National Institute on Drug Abuse identifies nicotine as perhaps the most addictive drug known to man. It is the only drug that is used willingly all day long, every day. Heavy smokers keep a level of nicotine in their blood to avoid pangs of withdrawal. In addition to becoming physically addicted to smoking, many smokers become psychologically addicted as well. Smoking becomes a part of the way they relate to people or situations. For instance, on a  break a person will have a cup of coffee and a cigarette to relax, or in a social setting in a bar, most people will smoke a cigarette and drink alcohol. Let's not forget that cigarette after sex!- or after a meal!

Many people experience fear or anxiety about changing a basic habit like smoking, because it eases stress, anger, frustration or wards off craving for food. Smokers fear that without cigarettes, they will not be able to control these emotions. In particular many people fear they will gain weight if they stop smoking. Hypnosis can help you stay relaxed and in control.

Stress is associated with smoking in two ways

1. Many smokers use cigarettes as a crutch to help them through stressful situations
   
2. The physical symptoms and cravings that occur with withdrawal can cause anxiety.
   

Many people smoke for fear of weight gain. While quitting may increase the craving for food, most smokers only gain 5-10 pounds. Compared to the risk of smoking, a few extra pounds is a small price for the lifelong benefits to your health

Smoking is a true physical addiction. Many smokers have tried many times to quit before they succeed. Sometimes quitting can cause painful physical and emotional symptoms. If you've tried and failed, Don't give up. Over 37 million Americans have found a way to quit. YOU WILL TOO! Hypnosis can really help you cope!

Breathing and exercise capacity  improves and energy returns. The senses of taste and smell sharpen. Within a year the risk of heart attack decreases. The risk of lung cancer decreases steadily to that of lifelong non-smokers after 7-15 years

Children learn by example. Set a good example for your children. Children whose parents smoke are twice as likely to smoke than those of non-smoking parents. Second hand smoke rises the rates of bronchitis and other upper respiratory cases. In addition the rates of cancer and heart disease is increased for your children from second hand smoke

Refraining from smoking has been identified as a critical factor in prenatal care. Mothers who smoke, starve their babies of life giving oxygen. They have an increased risk of miscarriage, stillbirth, premature birth, and often give birth to low weight babies. Health risks also increase for second smoke which is fed to the baby via the umbilical chord

Although most lung cancers do not cause any symptoms until they have spread too far to be cured, symptoms do occur in some patients with early lung cancer. Prompt attention to symptoms leading to early diagnosis and treatment can result in a cure for some patients. For others, prompt attention to the following symptoms can help them live longer and a with better quality of life:

• A cough that does not go away
  
• Chest pain, often aggravated by deep breathing
  
• Hoarseness
  
• Weight loss and loss of appetite
  
• Bloody or rust-colored sputum (spit or phlegm)
  
• Shortness of breath
  
• Fever without a known reason
  
• Recurring infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia
  
• New onset of wheezing
