What it is

Smoking is the practice in which tobacco is burned and the smoke tasted or inhaled. The message that 'smoking is bad for you' sadly is an old one, so not everyone gives it their full attention. The products that are most damaging are:

 tar, a carcinogen (substance that causes cancer)

 nicotine is addictive and increases cholesterol levels in your body

 carbon monoxide reduces oxygen in the body

Some smokers, especially those who have smoked for years, believe that the damage to their health is irreversible. However it is never too late to stop smoking, and the benefits of quitting start immediately.

Symptoms/ effects

If you are a long-term smoker, on average, your life expectancy is about 10 years less than a non-smoker. About 100,000 people in the UK die each year due to smoking, and about half of all smokers die from smoking-related diseases such as:

• Cardiovascular disease - when cholesterol and other fats deposit in the arteries, leaving them narrow, blocked or rigid.
• Cancer - Smokers are more likely to get cancer than non-smokers. This is particularly true of lung cancer, throat cancer and mouth cancer, which hardly ever affect non-smokers.
• COPD- Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a collective term for a group of conditions that block airflow and make breathing more difficult, including emphysema chronic bronchitis.

How Hypnotherapy can help

Hypnotherapy is a very successful way to stop smoking. Smokers often believe that they are addicted to nicotine. The physical addiction to nicotine however is minimal and it is in fact the psychological habit which smokers are addicted to. Hypnotherapy overcomes the psychological addiction by using the power of your subconscious mind to change your thoughts process on smoking. Hypnosis allows the habit of being a smoker to be replaced with the habit of being a non-smoker in a single session.

Smoking also has other harmful effects on your body:

• Smoking raises blood pressure, which can cause hypertension
• The skin of a 40 year old smoker is as damaged as that of a 60 year old non-smoker
• Couples who smoke are more likely to have fertility problems
• Smokers run an increased risk of cataracts
• At today's prices, a 20-a-day smoker will spend more than £37,000 over the next 20 years

70% of cigarettes are tailored (not hand rolled)

50% of smokers would not smoke in the company of non-smokers, 77% would not smoke in front of children.

84% of smokers started smoking regularly when they were under 20

In the UK 448,000 deaths in the over 35 age group – 81,000 due to smoking (18% of all deaths!)

In the UK 35% of all respiratory deaths in the over 35 age group are due to smoking

£16 billion was estimated to be spent on tobacco in the UK in 2008.

Two thirds (67%) of current smokers reported wanting to give up smoking, with three quarters (75%) reporting having tried to give up smoking at some point in the past.

Around two thirds (69%) of adults report that they do not allow smoking at all in their home, an increase from 61% in 2006.

Four in five people (81%) agree with the smoking ban in public places.

In 2009 - 79 people died in as a pedestrian in collision with a lorry or bus that’s just 0.016% of all deaths – you are far less likely to get run over by a bus than die due to smoking (1,000 times less likely!!)

The Good News! ....

It’s never too late to give up smoking and the body can recover remarkably quickly as soon as we quit.  

I’ve smoked 30 cigarettes a day since I was 13, and I’ve never had a days illness in my life. Tomorrow I celebrate my 80th birthday, and I’m going to stay in the house all day and watch telly so I don’t get run over by a bus.

Albert Nobacon, Bedlington

My granddad smoked 30 cigarettes a day from the age of 13 and never had a days illness in his life. Yesterday on his 80th birthday a bus skidded on a patch of ice and ploughed through his living room wall while he was watching telly. He was killed instantly. And they say smoking isn’t bad for you!

Kirsty Nobacon, Bedlington

I’m a bus driver and I’ve lost count of the number of grandfathers I have run over and killed on their 80th birthdays after enjoying a lifetime of illness-free heavy smoking. My nerves got so bad as result of all the accidents that I took up smoking and immediately caught cancer. If only I had listened to people who said smoking was bad for you.
