Life insurance is more expensive.
Finding a job may be more difficult as employers know that smokers are more likely to have sick leave than non-smokers.
Potential friendships and romances may be at risk (Smoking is not the attractive habit it is often portrayed as).
Smokers are no longer welcome in public places.

Smoking KILLS
There are more than 106,000 smoking related deaths a year in the UK alone
Smoking myths
In fact smoking increases the stress level of the body because it raises the blood pressure and heart rate.
"I'm 52 and I've smoked since I was 12. The damage has been done"
It's never too late to stop smoking. The benefits of stopping are almost immediate at any age. Within 20 minutes after stopping smoking blood pressure and heart rate return to normal, within 8 hours the level of carbon monoxide in your blood is halved and after 24 hours the oxygen levels return to normal.
After 2 weeks your chance of a heart attack decreases and circulation improves, energy levels, breathing and concentration improve. At one year the risk of a heart attack is cut by half, and the longer you stay off the lower the risk of lung cancer, heart disease and lung damage.
"If I quit I will put on weight"
With the use of hypnotherapy there is no reason why you should gain any weight, in fact part of the therapy involves replacing your reliance on cigarettes with healthier and more positive alternatives.
"I'm young and healthy and I only smoke about 10 a day - where's the harm in that?"
Every puff of a cigarette contains over 4,000 chemicals including tar (as in roads), nicotine, carbon monoxide (as in exhaust fumes), ammonia (floor cleaner), arsenic (rat poison), formaldehyde (preserving fluid) and butane (gas lighter).
Tar coats lungs like the roads, inflames the small air sacs, causes mucous which eventually causes bronchitis and emphysema.
Carbon monoxide robs the brain, heart and muscles of oxygen. It thickens the blood and this can cause heart attacks, strokes and blood clots. 3 out of 4 heart attacks in younger adults are due to smoking
"It's too difficult to quit, I have tried before and the cravings get to me each time"
Many patients report that after the hypnotherapy session they have no need or desire to smoke
ever again, the cravings simply disappear. Even if you do experience cravings they will be under
your control. To become a non-smoker through the use of hypnotherapy all that is a required is
the desire to stop smoking which you already have otherwise you would not be on this website.
