View Full Version : Another Reason Hypnosis is Better for Smoking Cessation
Here in the U.S., the taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products has recently had a large increase, giving users another reason to quit smoking and another opportunity for hypnotherapists.
Of course, there are other methods people use to try to quit smoking. One of the reasons people quit smoking is because of the health problems associated with smoking, including cancer.
It turns out that one of the alternative methods to quit smoking, the use of nicotine gum, actually increases the risk of cancer.

called me for a survey they were conducting for the Department of Health re: tobacco products. Needlesstosay, you all would know my answers. After the survey I told the person my profession and gave him the stats on the gum and patches and this new "Chantrix" which isn't new, it's old and just being trotted out again. I asked WHY DOES THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH NEVER INCLUDE HYPNOTHERAPY FOR TOBACCO CESSATION? He replied they should and gave me the direct link to get to them.
He was more than amazed at the poor stats for the gum and patches. "I didn't know that."

For how many centuries have we all been drinking hot tea without a problem???? Now, is this black tea, orange, tea, a combination, green tea, white tea? Are all teas equal? Bunch of gargage IMO. And, I'm off for a cupa white.
