Smoking has a lot of serious effects on your health and so if you are a smoker there are a number of reasons why you should stop now and save yourself from its ill effects. There are around 4000 chemicals in cigarettes that are deadly to the body and they severely affect the internal functioning of the body. These toxics also affect the immune system of the human body too. The effects of cigarette smoking are destructive and they result in many fatal ailments like lung cancer. The nicotine in cigarette smoke reaches the brain and after 10 seconds of consumption. The smoke is so deadly that it spreads to every part of the body rapidly. The carbon monoxide blends with the hemoglobin in the red blood cells and affects oxygen circulation.
There are many cancer causing agents that are called carcinogens present in tobacco smoke that damage important genes that are related to the growth of cells. These cells grow abnormally and reproduce rapidly. These cancerous cells multiply in the body and the person falls prey to cancer. A regular smoker also has the risks of respiratory and other infections also. Another damage that is caused by cancer is oxidative stress that harms DNA and promotes atherosclerosis that in turns leads to chronic lung disorder and injury. The oxidative process is said to be the major factor behind the aging process. It also leads to the development of cardiovascular disease. The body needs antioxidants to repair the damaged cells and smoking reduces the levels of antioxidants in the body. Oxidative stress also results in damaging chronic inflammation.
When you stop smoking you reduce the risks of so many disorders. Smoking over the years put you into a lot of pain and discomfort. There are many people who smoke for fad or just to be in vogue. What they do not realize is that they are putting themselves into the hands of death. Gradually smoking takes over their bodies and it becomes difficult for them to kick the habit even if they want to. Quitting smoking is not impossible if you are ready and strong enough mentally to face the challenge. Smokers can quit with commitment and discipline. They have to be prepared and not give in to cravings. The results are wonderful as you regain a healthy and natural balance. Moreover, it also gives you the mental boost that you are ready to face hard challenges in life. Breaking the smoking habit is indeed tough however, there are people who have done it successfully and are proud to be achievers. They are a constant source of inspiration for those who are trying to kick the habit. You can get in touch with so many people who have tried giving up smoking but it is hard to find people who have been successful.
You can be an achiever and break the habit of smoking by being strong. There are many ways by which you can start off but the most important way is self motivation. Use this inherent weapon to combat the urge of smoking and emerge as a winner with pride!

Practicing Yoga is a Natural Way to Stop Smoking
By | January 8, 2010
*** Do Not Quit Smoking! Click Here ***
So, dear reader, here is another article which promises to show you a way how to stop smoking. If you are reading this article, most likely you have already tried some methods and they did not help you. Do you know why? The reason is, most of those methods are not natural in the sense that they use some external influence instead of relying on the natural resources of our body. Yoga, on the contrary, first of all helps one to restore the inner balance. Once the balance is restored, one can easily give up smoking without any external help. We are now going to describe how that can be achieved by practicing Sahaja Yoga. But first let us give some not very well known facts about smoking in attempt to raise more awareness about this subject.
Many of us heard this example in college that a drop of nicotine can kill a horse. And many also heard a typical answer that “in that case the horse should not smoke”. That is, this argument does not sound very convincing. What else should we know then about the effect of nicotine? Most of us know that nicotine is very harmful for the lungs, it can cause lung cancer and other kinds of cancer. But nicotine also changes the chemical functions in the brain. That is why it creates addiction like all other drugs. Researches done in the US have shown that teen smokers are more likely to have panic attacks, anxiety disorders, and depression. Nearly half a million Americans die from smoking every year. One of every six deaths in the United States is a result of smoking tobacco, making tobacco more lethal than all other addictive drugs combined.
But, apart from nicotine, there are many more harmful substances in cigarettes. Most of us don’t know that, when smoking, we inhale thousands of chemicals with the cigarette smoke:
In 1936 there were 120 additives used in cigarettes, in 1959 their number increased to 450, in 1968 there were 950 kinds of additives, in 1982, 3875, and today their number exceeds 4000!
So, what people smoke now is not just tobacco, it is a complex mixture of various chemical components. They are added for various purposes. Some give flavors to the cigarettes, some work as preservatives, but many additives are used in fact to increase one’s addiction so that it becomes much more difficult to stop smoking than it used to be, say, 50 years ago. Most of these substances have, of course, a negative effect on the human health.
Light cigarettes. This is another myth created by the tobacco industries. When they first came on the market in 1970, it was believed that light cigarettes are less harmful. However later researches have shown that light cigarettes result in the same risk of illness and death as a result of smoking.
So, smoking has a very diverse negative effect on the human health, and there is no way out like light cigarettes or anything. But how to stop smoking? Most common methods used are: nicotine replacement treatments, acupuncture, injections, medication. However none of these methods gives statistically proven strong effect. Besides, they may also have side effects and sometimes can be quite costly. What we suggest here is to give up smoking in an easy and natural way by practicing Sahaja Yoga.
Sahaja Yoga is a method of awakening the Kundalini energy discovered in 1970 by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi from India. According to the Indian tradition, Kundalini is a spiritual power that lies dormant in the Sacrum bone and has to be awakened by yoga practices. Once awakened, it rises through the central energy channel in the spine and opens and enlightens the seven energy centers called chakras. When Kundalini opens the seventh chakra located in the limbic area, yoga (i.e. the inner and outer integration of our being) is said to take place. Kundalini awakening is the ultimate goal of every yoga practice, however only in Sahaja Yoga, due to Shri Mataji’s discovery, it became effortless and easy to achieve. What Kundalini does is to balance the energy system, which consists of seven energy centers (chakras) and three energy channels (called nadis). When balance is established in the body, it naturally tries to preserve it and thus does not want to accept anything that is harmful. Thus all bad habits, like drinking, smoking, drug addiction drop out automatically without the need to do anything special about that. This sounds like a very strong statement but it is so. Sociological study done on 320 Sahaja Yoga practitioners showed that just after the first year of practice about 75% stop drinking, smoking and using drugs. After 5 years of practicing Sahaja Yoga less than 10% of practitioners still have some of those bad habits.
One of the reasons why Sahaja Yoga is so effective against smoking is that the Kundalini energy works in the 7th chakra, that is in the limbic area. It is the limbic area that is affected by nicotine and other drugs thus giving one a sense of pleasure. But meditation on the 7th chakra gives one even stronger pleasure and at the same time does not cause any harm. As a result, one just does not feel any desire to continue smoking or taking drugs.
So, we invite you to try Sahaja Yoga and see for yourself how it will help you not only to get rid of bad habits, like drinking or smoking, but in many different ways.

Stop Smoking Now – Information that will stun you!
By | January 6, 2010
As the new year bursts in on us about haf of the worlds smokers will be resolving to to quit using drugs, patches, gums and cold turkey but statistics show that for most these it just won’t work. The reasons are simple, the comonly held belief that nicotine addiction is so strong that, like heroin, once you are in its grip you have no chance.
In reality nicotine is just 10% of the problem and the failure of most government schemes is because they focus so strongly on nicotine replacement. Successfully stopping smoking depends on just two things:
1. The smoker must really really want to, not should, not ought but really wants to. Without that personal commitment it just won’t happen no matter what methods are tried.
2. Using a method which targets the habit and the subconscious emotional dependence on the act of smoking, Bee Milbourn has been offering her unique blend of therapy at her Smoking cessation Clinic in a national hospital for over eight years. 90% of her clients quit after just one two hour session and they stay stopped, becoming non smokers for life.
So what is her secret? “Preparation.” says Bee “ I ask my client to name their own ‘Stop Smoking Day’ about 14 days ahead and then give them a CD which explains how they can prepare for success. I explain what happens when they smoke, we call it the ‘nicotine trick’ and offer a few tricks of my own so the brain can be brought ‘on side’ to help the process and. This is how they can motivate themselves to expect total success. The actual final process is just 30 minutes of hypnosis which cements everything in place.
Of course Bee could only see a few people in any week personally so she has now captured this whole process on disc and offers it worldwide as a CDset or MP3 download. It is a prospect which excites her. ”
I love working with smokers” says Bee “ Quitting smoking brings so many benefits into their lives. They believe themselves to be in the grip of an addiction which seems to them to be unbreakable then, just two hours after visiting my consulting rooms, they are free from the slavery of nicotine for life. They leave as different people, a spring in their step and looking forward to a healthier happier future. I realised that with the development of internet technology the whole of my phenomenally successful program could be recorded delivered economically by download from the internet and brought to thousands of people worldwide.”
Stop Smoking Consultants use a combination therapy of NLP (Neuro Linguistic Processing) CBT(Cognitive Brief Therapy) SFBH (Solution Focused Brief Hypnotherapy). Treatments are drug free and have no known side effects. Bee’s program is not just a relaxation disc, it is an exact copy of her successful clinical Stop Smoking Program delivered over ten years in a private hospital. It is available either on 4XCD’s set or as a download

Numerous people recommend that stop smoking hypnosis therapy be used in conjunction with other stop smoking methods such as nicotine replacement stop smoking products like the patch or nicotine gum. With the course of the time, the smoker becomes physical and psychologically addict to the nicotine, and to be able to stop smoking he needs to be liberated from both dependences. Once a smoker understands his own smoking behavior, he will be able to cope more successfully and select the best quitting approaches for himself and the type of life-style he leads.
Combining acupuncture with more traditional approaches to quitting smoking can be an effective strategy, especially if you have tried and failed at simply using willpower to quit in the past. Acupuncture as a method for quitting smoking is best for those individuals that are heavily addicted to the nicotine, but have clearly made the commitment to quit. Other than the above, if you are not suffering from depression or anxiety and do not feel that you are using cigarettes as an emotional crutch, then the good news is that quitting smoking is likely to be very quick and easy for you.

I find it fascinating that almost all methods of quitting smoking do not take into consideration the mind. Of course, quitting smoking would also eliminate stained teeth, unhealthy skin, rapid accumulation of wrinkles on the face, and clothing, hair, and breath that stink of smoke. A staggering 13 million adults still smoke in the UK and whilst the overall trends show the number of smokers are declining, there is a large incidence of smoking amongst younger people. Quit Smoking is the painfree way.
You will find all that you need to know about, self help, stress control, weight control, stop smoking, mind control, relax, motivation and meditation with subliminal messages at Dr. Robert Emler: Smoking is a hard habit to break. One of those effective way to quit smoking is Natural Tea leaves without any toxic substance and can quit within 5-6 days. You might need to consider of your body side. If you are small like Asian people, you need only one box. But if your size is twice of those Asian, you might need two box to quit the cigarette.

How I Quit Smoking Overnight After 40 Years!
By | January 3, 2010
This story of mine goes back 6 years, when after smoking ordinary packet cigarettes from 1- 2 packets a day (And sometimes more) for the previous 34 years, I decided to give them up and swap to hand rolling my own.
This was rightly or wrongly based on the premise that by getting rid of all the chemicals that were in an ordinary cigarette, then my body would be ok, as I was “told” that nicotine in itself does not kill you, it is all the other crap (Sorry chemicals) that they put in man made cigarettes that does the main damage.
There was none of this in a hand rolled cigarette so I was ok wasn’t I!
My rationale did not take into account the amount of actual smoke that was still going into my lungs, and also coking up my whole respiratory system, but I solved that one by being an active twice weekly squash player, so my cardio-vascular would be protected and I would be fit.
What a plonker.
The challenge I had, was that I had tried to give up a couple of times before, and had tried the nicotine patches and the chewing gum when they came out, but ended up having a ciggy while still wearing the patch chewing the gum, so gave up on that idea as they did not work.
They obviously do, but not for me.
The thought of actually using willpower to quit smoking, frightened the life out of me, more so than smoking itself; how many people can relate to that one.
I did try using willpower but failed miserably, like all the other attempts to try and give up, that I had unsuccessfully tried.
Now the word “try” here is very important, because if you “try” to do something you won’t do it; if you tried to pick up that pen from your desk, and you picked it up, you did not try, you did it; if you had tried to pick it up, you would not have picked it up at all.
So my attempts to try and Quit Smoking were a miserable failure, so I gave up trying and carried on smoking my roll ups.
Fast forward to early March 2008, I started to cough up blood which frightened me somewhat, and I ended up in hospital getting thoroughly checked out.
They confirmed that I was ok and the x-ray proved all was clear, miraculously my lungs were also clear, but that it was probably one of my gums that had become weak and started to bleed. (A subsequent visit to my dental hygienist confirmed this, and she also said it was due to smoking)
This episode really scared me, and I realized that the time to Do, and not to Try, was upon me.
During the past year or so on the internet, I had purchased a set of self hypnosis cd’s to listen to, and one of them was designed to Help you to Stop Smoking.
I decided to listen to it that evening (March 31st 2008) and from the following day I have not touched or smoked a cigarette.
I cannot now believe that I smoked for all those years, and I can honestly say that I have had little to no cravings or withdrawal symptoms.
The one or two times over the past five months that I thought I would like a cigarette, a little voice inside my head said “Why would you want to do that, you don’t smoke” and the thought passes.
Now all the benefits I was told about quitting smoking are coming to fruition, like the fact;
Do this for yourself and let me know how you get on. Hypnosis Stop Smoking

By | January 2, 2010
What are the best stop smoking methods? There are so many ways to quit smoking that it really depends upon the individual. What works for one person may not work for another. But what is most important is that you find a program to help you quit smoking. With no program at all, 95% of quitters fail, and only 5% succeed. This proves that going “cold turkey” has virtually no chance of working. So it’s wise to get help.
Ok, now that we have established that it is best to find a program to help you quit smoking let’s take a look at the options that are available along with their success rates.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)-Nicotine Replacement Therapy includes the patch, nicotine gum, and nicotine inhalers. They work by easing withdrawal symptoms by putting gradual amounts of nicotine into the smokers system. NRT has shown to have an initial success rate of 23% and only 15% after one year.
Zyban-This is an anti-depressant that has recently been given to smokers because it has shown to have some benefit to help quit smoking. Studies have shown an initial success rate of 36% upon completion of the program and 30% one year later. Zyban is available by prescription only and has several side effects.
Hypnosis, Accupuncture, Herbs-have been shown to be far less effective than the above methods. Several controlled studies found they were ineffective.
Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) -NLP is a branch of psychotherapy that has been around for decades but has only recently been applied to help smokers stop smoking with astonishing results. Studies of NLP have shown an initial success rate of 97% and 92% after six months. NLP does not have to be applied at a doctor’s office. Its benefits can be gained by listening to an audio program. It works as one of the best stop smoking methods by removing the cravings for cigarettes from the smoker.

Hypnotherapy Hype: Can Hypnosis Help You?
By | December 31, 2009
Hypnotherapy is a fast growing method to modify or change behavior. People are using hypnosis for everything from weight loss and pain management to boosting self confidence and to stop smoking. Many people visit a qualified hypnotherapist to take advantage of the therapy, while others take advantage of self-hypnosis through the plethora of self-help resources available. While some people think that hypnosis is nothing but hype, if you want to change or modify your behavior or thoughts on a certain subject you may want to give hypnosis a try.How Hypnosis WorksThere are many different reasons hypnosis works. Our minds are very open to suggestions at all times and hypnosis creates a way for us to program ourselves with positive, empowering and uplifting information that can change our lives in powerful ways. There is no secret to hypnosis. Here Are a Few Techniques Hypnosis Employs:1) Relaxation: Most people are most receptive while sleeping or extremely relaxed. The hypnotherapist always asks if you are comfortable and undisturbed. If you use CD’s it is okay to fall asleep; our minds absorb more when we are sleeping.2) Repetition: The more an idea is repeated, the more likely it will be accepted. Think about a TV commercial and how you are more likely to accept a new idea or product when you have seen a commercial fifty or sixty times over a course of several days.3) Guided Imagery and Visualization: Everything begins in the mind and hypnosis finds a way to implant your mind with images you want, as opposed to the images you currently hold due to repeated patterns. For instance, you must imagine yourself as a non-smoker or a thinner person, before you can start acting in the ways that will bring this into reality.4) Suggestions: Hypnosis is a way to suggest new ideas into the mind. Seeing a HypnotherapistIf you are seeking to try a hypnotherapist, you should make sure they have professional qualifications. There are many different schools and trainings for hypnotherapy and doing your homework in this area will really pay off in the long run. Ask questions. Find out how much they charge, what to expect when you are hypnotized, how long each session will last, how many sessions you will you need and how long the therapist has been in practice. Try to choose a hypnotherapist with a good reputation who has been in practice for a while. Shop around. Most importantly, you will want to have a feeling of trust between yourself and your hypnotherapist. Does this person make you feel at ease? Do you feel safe with him? Do you like his personality and feel that you can trust him with your mind?Self-Hypnosis: Tapes, CD’s and MP3’sWhile seeing a hypnotherapist is a great idea, it is cheaper and more accessible to try hypnotizing yourself. Hypnosis can be self-administered by using online downloads, MP3’s, tapes, or CD’s. Whether you are looking to lose weight, stop smoking, gain social confidence, or curb anxiety, there are a wide variety of resources and products on the market. Hypnosis products can be tried at night upon going to bed. They can also be a great way to wake up in the morning to start your day on a positive note. For the price of one hypnotherapy session, you can buy several different self-hypnosis products to start changing your own mind right away on a host of different subjects. Never listen to hypnosis CD’s while driving your car.
