There are only two reasons why you are
still smoking:
1. Habit
Anxiety caused by stress is the trigger
that has you reaching for your smokes and heading for the exit, but
the real reason why you haven't stopped smoking is because you
haven't stopped yet. There
is nothing wrong with you, you are not addicted because of your
genes, you are not weak. You
are addicted because smoking has become a familiar habit.
2. Adrenaline
Each time you light up, your body
reacts as if you were eating. Cigarettes contain a surprising amount
of sugar. Insulin releases in anticipation of a meal, but the sugar
in the smoke is an empty promise, and it quickly absorbs into the
blood stream, leaving your body high in insulin, and low in blood
sugar. At this point, you sit back and enjoy the feeling of
relaxation and clarity that smoking gives you, unaware that your body
has actually gone into a state of shock (that's the “relaxation”)
and released adrenaline to help you cope (that's the “clarity”).
Your body and it's incredible mysterious ability to deal with
anything you do to it and still keep you alive, is quick to work out
what has happened. You metabolise fat from your cells into glucose
(that's the weight loss) to balance your blood sugar, and bring you
back to homoeostasis. (That's the feeing of “Hmm, time for a smoke
break.”)
Nicotine is a psycho-active chemical,
and it feels good. (Ask: Why is nicotine legal?) But cigarettes are
toxic due to all the other ingredients:
- Tar keeps your cigarette burning at a temperature so high that it vaporises the nicotine, making it easier for your lungs to absorb higher quantities
- Ammonia accelerates the absorption of nicotine in your lungs
- Nitric acid delays the breakdown of nicotine by your body's metabolism, keeping it in your blood stream for longer
- Formaldehyde is inhaled as a bi-product of tobacco combustion
The inhaled toxins cross into the blood
stream and circulate through the brain and all the organs, causing
the release of adrenaline (the fight/flight hormone) to accelerate
the metabolism and destruction of these toxins, so essentially what
is happening, if you look at the whole chemical picture is:
cigarettes deplete your adrenaline.
Addiction and Chemical Depletion
With the use of cocaine, your own
dopamine is force-released into your brain by the amphetamines in the
drug, leaving your body depleted of dopamine, and open to the
suggestions to take the drug again to release more of the depleted
neuro-chemical. Cigarettes release adrenaline, and that's apparently
legal. (Ask: Why is it ok to release adrenaline but its not okay to
release dopamine?) Your body becomes accustomed to generating and
maintaining a high level of adrenaline in your blood stream, and this
causes anxiety, leaving you open to the ironic suggestion to have
another cigarette to "calm you down".
“Cigarette
addiction basically comes down to habit and adrenaline addiction.
You're better off bungy jumping 20 times a day! It's more cost
effective, and statistically a much lower health risk!”

Using Neuro-Behavioural Sound
Reprogramming to Stop Smoking
- The NBSR Stop Smoking program is based on the six week model developed by Dr. John Kappas at HMI. Individuals who have the desire to quite smoking and complete the HMI program are 100% successful. NBSR includes a number of supportive measures to assist you in following the program through to completion
- The analysis aspect identifies any current causes of anxiety or stress, and establishes practical solutions to reduce your stress levels
- The NBSR Alpha Techniques of Hypnosis and Binaural Beats provide a clear state of mind in which to observe your body's natural reaction to the chemical course of events of each cigarette
- Hypnotic rehearsal of the memory of your first cigarette, and strong feelings of dislike and loss of control, open the way for the introduction of an enjoyable or constructive healthy alternative for you, to replace smoking
- As the treatments progress, attention shifts to your new experiences of healthy living. Positive feelings of relief, the return of the senses of taste and smell, and the refreshing feeling of personal hygiene become the focus in hypnosis
- Your personalised Self Hypnosis Affirmation assures that the work you do in your sessions is mentally continued throughout the week
- The NBSR Relaxation Techniques (Meditation and Reiki) reduce the level of adrenaline in the blood stream while maintaining your state of relaxation. As this practice becomes more familiar, your body lowers the anticipation of the release of adrenaline, and reduces the craving for a cigarette
Giving someone else the responsibility
to stop you from smoking doesn't always work, because you have no
accountability in a process over which you have no control. Your
personal power and your ability to decide a course of action and
commit to it with your own desire, is the only reason why you will
stop smoking. It can happen in 6 weeks, or in 10 years, but no-one
can do it for you.
NBSR Stop Smoking Guarantee
When
practised correctly, this treatment is guaranteed to phase out your
tobacco addiction. If you are genuine in your desire to stop smoking,
you have practised the methods given to you in your treatments
according to NBSR specifications, and you still need to smoke after
completing the 6 week program, you will receive a full refund, 100%
of your money back, guaranteed.
