Use the Power of Hypnosis to Stop Smoking, Lose Weight, and Gain Unlimited Confidence! ____________________________________________________________________ Unfortunately, the biochemical reality of addiction to tobacco, and it's key neurologically active drug ingredient, nicotine, makes it impossible for all but a very tiny fraction of tobacco users to simply decide to quit smoking or chewing and then do it. It is not so difficult to make the decision that you need to stop smoking or chewing, but it is extremely difficult to follow through on that decision. So, the rest of this article will provide you with some reasons to add anger to your decision, and then briefly comment on action you can take. Why anger? Because anger is a powerful emotion, and properly focused can help overcome the grip of a powerful addiction. First, you already know that smoking is bad for your health. You have undoubtedly been told by friends, relatives, and maybe strangers that you can die young from lung cancer, heart disease, and emphysema (a disease that eventually prevents you from breathing and makes you feel like you are drowning in your own fluids). But, you may not know a few more health problems caused by tobacco. If you chew tobacco, you increase the chances that your tongue, jaws and throat will rot away from cancer. If you smoke, you increase your chances of dying young from colon cancer. If you smoke, you also age your skin prematurely, and your skin will wrinkle quickly with that characteristic ugliness, especially around the mouth, of a long-term smoker's skin. Yes, long-term tobacco addiction leads to ugliness. And, to rub your face in reality even further, while you are getting uglier and less healthy, you will also have the privilege of paying a lot more for life insurance and health insurance than your clean friends. Second, remember why you started smoking in the first place. It was because you became a sheep. Yes, I know you thought you were cool and expressing your individuality, but the reality is that you gave in to peer pressure and just became one of the faceless members of the flock. Isn't it time to grow up and take responsibility for your life as an intelligent individual? Have you noticed that being a smoker makes you unwelcome in many parts of civilized society, not because you are too cool, but because your habit is dirty, smells bad and makes you look like a loser? Do you even still like those kids who first invited you to smoke? Third, the tobacco industry is rich and run by people who have known for years that their product is dangerous. The U.S. court system has established that rich tobacco executives knew exactly what they were doing when they spewed out propaganda to make smoking seem glamorous, and suppressed evidence that smoking was slowly killing their customers. Do you think these rich executives are overpaid, marginally competent, unethical scum? If so, why are you continuing to enrich them by purchasing their products? Remind yourself every time you do not light up, or do not purchase a pack of cigarettes, that some fat, undeserving lowlife in a tobacco company boardroom somewhere is getting less money because of your strength of will. Consider your actual out-of-pocket costs for using tobacco. How many packs a day do you smoke or chew? Multiply that number by your cost per pack times 365 days in a year and then add in your additional insurance costs. Divide that number by $5.15 and you will see how many minimum wage hours per year you give to the tobacco industry. Somewhere back there in your teenage years you voluntarily gave yourself up to slavery. Finally, for a few people, the drug ingredient in tobacco, nicotine, actually provides mild medical benefit. This is beyond the scope of this particular article, but people with attention deficit problems and anxiety disorders sometimes become addicted to tobacco more readily than others because it helps an untreated condition that needs to be addressed with real medicine. So, now that you have made the decision to quit, backed by a healthy measure of anger, you must reinforce this decision daily while you take specific action to modify the physiology and biochemistry of your addiction. There are products such as nicotine patches, nicotine-containing chewing gum, and various educational and psychological products that can help you quit smoking and give up tobacco for good. But, none of these products work alone. You must be committed to helping them to help you to rid yourself of the tobacco demon for good. Return to Want2KnowWhat.com
