smoking and vaping
smoking or vaping habit
Much of what we know about smoking and vaping is a myth. We’re told that these habits reduce stress, that cigarette addiction is caused purely by nicotine and that cigarettes and e-cigarettes are near-impossible to give up. In reality:
- Smokers have a 70% increased risk of anxiety and depression when compared with non-smokers
- There's a behavioural element to smoking that contributes towards addiction on top of the effects of nicotine
- In the UK, over 100,000 people report quitting smoking each year
It’s also said that vaping is a safer alternative to smoking – but this isn’t necessarily true, either. Not only is there insufficient research for us to know the exact effects e-cigarettes have on the body and mind, but vapes contain a concoction of harmful substances like heavy metals and carcinogens we inhale directly into our lungs.
My hypnotherapy space is a judgement-free zone. I have loved ones who smoke and vape – my partner even used hypnotherapy to quit smoking 10 years ago now. I’m not here to tell you that your decision to smoke or vape is right or wrong – but if you want to switch off the habit, I’d love to help you do it, and do it for good.
It can take just one two-hour session to stop smoking or vaping for good – no matter how long you’ve smoked or vaped, how often you do it, when you started and why.
And if you’ve tried to quit before and been unsuccessful, don’t be discouraged – hypnotherapy has been shown to be three times more effective than nicotine replacement therapy.
Together, we’ll get to the bottom of why you smoke or vape and your motivations for quitting, helping you to feel excited and confident about giving up.
Then, you’ll enjoy a relaxing half-hour of hypnosis, where we’ll open up your mind and provide a context in which you can rethink some of the misguided patterns of thought and behaviour from the past – in line with what you want to do for your best interests in the future.
So by the time you leave, we'll have you referring to yourself as a non-smoker – perhaps for the first time in a long time.
