Out of all of our Addictions, Nicotine Addiction  is one of our cultures most dangerous and costly Addictions.  Did you know that within just 20 Minutes of not smoking, your  blood pressure drops to normal, your pulse rate drops to normal, your body temperature of hands and feet returns to normal. Within 8 Hours of not smoking the carbon monoxide level in blood drops to normal, the oxygen level in blood increases to normal. Within just 24 hours your chance of a heart attack decreases, and within 48 hours your nerve endings start re-growing.  Within just two to three months your circulation improves, you’re walking becomes easier, and lung function increases up to 30 percent.

Money is tight these days; one of the things that make it even tighter is the cost of our Health Care. When you sign up for Insurance, whether that be through your work or through the new Affordable Care Act, you will find that your premiums are going to be that much higher if unless you address your Addictions to both smoke and other drugs such as alcohol.

Cigarettes are now at about $8.00 a pack in most places, and with taxes that price will soon be going up.  If you are just looking at it from the stand point of out of pocket expense that means you are spending over $224.00 a month. Now add in the consequences of health issues, such as COPD. Emphysema, High Blood Pressure, Heart Attacks and Strokes, and you have plenty of GREAT reasons to give up a habit / addiction that is becoming increasingly unpopular.

As I have mentioned before research of numerous Smoking Cessation Programs show that of all documented smoking cessation protocols, hypnosis is the most effective, with a success rate of over 68%.  When you compare that rate with success rate of trying to quit on your own, at about 7% success, or behavioral therapy programs at 24%, or even the popular Nicotine Replacement Products, at 27%, I have to tell you that your best bet for quitting nicotine use is hypnosis.

Even with the e-new e-cigarettes, you are using a product that has not been FDA approved, and the manufacturing usually takes place in China and / or Mayleshia, where the requirements to reveal what is actually in the products are not the same as they are in the United States.

There are many smoking cessation programs out there that will tell you that they guarantee 99% success rate with just one session, these are claims are misleading and outrageous.  Without getting into the details of each case, I can assure you that the people who quit with just one session are not the norm. In fact people who quit in just one session are the ones who would have quit no matter what, (see 7% success rate of quitting on your own, in above paragraph).  For those of you who have decided to quit, but aren’t in that seven percent category, here are a few tips and facts to consider.
