NEED HELP TO STOP SMOKING?
It is said that 70% of all smokers want to stop smoking (even though they may not admit it!).

30% of adults in the UK smoke and most people start smoking aged between 15 and 19. In the UK, every year 20% of all deaths are directly attributed to smoking. 2 out of 3 people who smoke will die from a smoking related disease and 50% of those who die, will die in middle age, losing approximately 21 years from their life!
But it won’t happen to you, or will it? What makes you the special one? Could you be the 'lucky' one, the one who smokes for 20, 30 or maybe 40 years but remains unaffected? Well you could be, but do you want to run that risk? The cemetery is full of people who said it won't happen to me!
There are a whole host of statistics about the harm smoking does to those that smoke and those that are exposed to 2nd hand smoke. Children and other family members exposed to 2nd hand smoke, increase their risk of lung cancer and coronary heart disease by 25%.
The toxins from 1 cigarette stay around you for up to 2 hours afterwards ie in your hair on your clothes, therefore individuals you come into close proximity with especially children and babies, will be breathing the harmful drugs you inhale from your cigarette.
Of course there's the cost! Did you know that a 20 per day smoker spends about £31,000 (in today's terms) on cigarettes over 20 years! Maybe you think that's the best use of your money or maybe you'd like a few luxury holidays, a new car or could even use the money as a deposit for a house!
Well, now you've had some of the bad news, how about some good news!
Hypnotherapy is 5 times more effective than willpower alone in helping you stop smoking! So if you've tried and failed before, or even if you've never tried to stop before, you've got a far greater chance of becoming a non smoker with the aid of hypnotherapy.
Here's what someone thought about their experience of using hypnotherapy to help them stop smoking:-
Having been a dedicated smoker for over 30 years, it didn't really occur to me that I could ever stop. I had tried all the normal things like acupuncture, patches, puffers, self help groups and even zyban but nothing ever worked. Then I saw someone I knew, who was also a dedicated smoker, and realised after a while that they had given up, and asked how they did it, they told me about Andrea.
When I was a smoker I was always worried about the effects of smoking, I was always broke, I was usually the outcaste, used to douse myself in perfume cos I was scared I smelled bad, but the worst was that both my parents had died from smoking related causes and I could just see the same happening to me. I came out of the session with Andrea, drove home, chewing a pack of mints and from that day have not once even thought about buying a pack of cigarettes".
So why not give it a go? 12th March is National No Smoking Day. Every year over a million smokers will use National No Smoking Day to try to quit. If you want to join one of the many people who have successfully quit with the help of hypnotherapy, call Andrea at HALO Hypnotherapy Ltd on 01202 269247 or email andrea@halohypnotherapy.com or visit the website.
