Want to become an ex-smoker?
You promised yourself that you would finally quit smoking.
It isn’t easy giving up something that is so much a part of what you do every day.
But you are not alone. Over 1 million people each year decide to quit and are successful.
Tried Quitting Before?
Maybe once, maybe more…
You started out feeling the time was right, but for whatever reason, you’re smoking again. Now, you’re asking whether it’s worth it to try quitting again. You bet it is!
Quitting is hard, but not if you do it with the help of a professional hypnotherapist, so… don’t give up!
Some smokers try a number of times before they quit for good. Studies show that each time you try to quit, the more likely you will be to eventually succeed. With each try, you are better able to know what helps and what hurts. Any attempt to quit is a step in a healthier direction.
Pregnant?
There’s no better time to stop.
And for two very good reasons:
You.
And, your baby.
Even if someone you know smoked during pregnancy and had a problem-free delivery, smoking puts your baby’s health at risk. Stopping at any time during pregnancy is still the best chance for you and your baby to get a fresh start.
It is also important to remember that infants and children exposed to second-hand smoke are more likely to develop health problems such as chronic ear infections and asthma. Helping to eliminate these health risks is another good reason to become an ex-smoker.
