Quitting smoking is easier than you think
And, indeed, Simmons cites results compiled by researchers at the University of Iowa. They combined more than 600 studies of smoking cessation programs involving 72,000 people from North America and Europe. Hypnosis was found to be over 3 times more effective than nicotine replacement therapy and 15 times more effective than quitting cold turkey.
Different types of addiction
Smoking is a combination of two types of addiction; physical and mental. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that, "a key brain chemical involved in mediating and the desire to consume drugs is the neurotransmitter dopamine, and research has shown that nicotine increases levels of dopamine in the reward circuits".
Indeed nicotine addiction is considered one of the strongest addictions. NIDA states that "Cigarette smoking kills an estimated 440,000 U.S. citizens each year - more than alcohol, illegal drug use, homicide, suicide, car accidents and AIDS combined. Between 1964 and 2004, more than 12 million Americans died prematurely from smoking and another 25 million U.S. smokers alive today will most likely die of a smoking-related illness."
But the real struggle for smokers lie in overcoming the mental addiction. Over time smokers have trained their subconscious mind to make smoking an automatic behavior involving habits and rituals, such as having a cigarette with coffee or after a meal.
So the question is, can the average smoker afford to go to a hypnotherapist?
When you take into account that a pack a day smoker will spend over $2000 per year on cigarettes, the cost then becomes negligible and health benefits are countless.
