Smoking Cigarettes (tobacco) and Nutrition

Author: Smoking Joey

This article is about nutrition in relation for smokers, the one who asked it me asked a good question, asking for nutrition instead of food. Please do read till the end!

Maybe for some people food is nutrition and vise versa however there's a huge difference, medically seen, between food and nutrition. Simply said what we take in our mouth to eat (no candy or so but really eating) is food, if this food is nutritious depends on the food and on the way you and your body convert the food into nutrition.

You and your body, this seems to be odd but is an important factor. The audience I'm writing for are people from welfare countries and in our western world eating is often an "in-between-case". You're working and while working you eat quickly this happens much for example in a car too, you need to catch a meeting and eat quickly in your car. In such cases that you eat quickly I call that you food processing, you put food in your mouth and a lot of the food you swallow without chewing first, that's bad and more bad for smokers. In this case the swallowed food goes to your stomach and is from there on further processed. I prefer in this case to write for us busy people "processed" instead of digest. A lot of smokers (non smokers too) are since way to long used to eat in a bad way whereby digestion became a smaller part than processing food. A lot of people even nearly digest nothing while that’s the most important part to get from food nutrition!

Digestion is breaking down the food in the nutritious components we need to have good food for a healthy life. Food, moreover nutrition is an underestimated factor in healthcare, it's really time that we give eating and digestion a lot more attention then we're used to do. This is of course all in general speaking maybe some smokers take very good care, or try or think it at least, about healthy living.

About food, the first step when buying something to eat, we need to forget fast food or junk food then you can say that at the paper is written which nutrition this junk food contains and I do not say that they're wrong but what I do know is that you never get that nutrition because those junk food companies who try to get rid of their stigma that it's bad food let their food being analyzed in a lab. The results from the lab and the nutrition you get from junk food is way more less.

I'm not a nutrition specialist in the pure medical way but what I do know very well just like all MD's should know is that when you have a fresh carrot from the field, let it analyze by a lab let's say (this are random numbers) that the lab measures 5mg pro vitamin A but when a health freak who eats perfect according the medical rules gets maybe 2.5mg pro vitamin A in the blood after digesting that carrot.

Usually we eat junk food very quickly and instead of digestion there's almost only processing so the absorption of the nutritional levels mentioned by those junk food chains is almost zero that's one of the reasons that there're so much fat people, processed food becomes fat somewhere (can be everywhere at your body with not much change for hands and feet, in case your hands and or feet or more fat looking they probably contain water, consult your physician).

Another thing is when you really buy food certainly in our western industrialized countries I see often by people at home and even more in exquisite restaurants 70% meat, 20% vegetables and 10% 'basic' food like potatoes, rice, paste, couscous, etc... This is completely wrong!!

A note about meat. Although still no consensus whether we’re meat or vegetable (plant) eaters the majority of nutrition specialist agree that we don’t need meet at all. I agree with them too, I personally eat nearly no meat at all. I do eat meat when I’m for example in China invited for dinner and there’s a little chicken, I don’t eat a pound of meat in a year. Some people say that they eat no meat but fish however I classify fish by meat. Meat is simply from animals, other basic products come from plants and are for us vegetables or fruit, that’s what we need! There’s however a gray zone between plants and meat like eggs and milk that’s why there’re vegetarians and lacto-vegetarians, the latter also don’t use any product from an animal without to mention the mother milk which is underestimated important to feed her baby.

Anyway, I won't be nagging about to stop eating meat what I highly advice you to the benefit of digestion, upgrading the nutrition level with the same amount of food, is to eat no more then 30% meat instead of 60 to 70% by a warm ‘healthy’ dish. But there’s more. Nearly all meat we eat is not straight from the cattle or whatever! Before meat is driven to the stores it’s in a very bad way processed. As an example, when having chicken filet of 50 gram then they inject it with lots of a kind of needles and add mainly water to it, the chicken piece swells and becomes 110gram. This also happens by complete chicken, you buy a grilled chicken of 1.2kg but you have about 450gram of real chicken. You might be thinking that the injected water disappear when a complete chicken is grilled but that’s not true however I’m no butcher and can’t go further into the processing of meat.

Anyway, I advice to eat no more than 30% of a warm dish as real unprocessed meat, how you can get unprocessed meat is a mystery to me, I think you can only obtain it from people who get the unprocessed meat. This all means that because in general meat contains 50% not meat that you’ve to slice the 30% I say to 15% to minimize the bad influence of real meat itself and from the adjectives injected into the meat which are a lot worse then the actual meat.

So far I know most people eat in fact (if you know it or don’t know it) meat because when it’s baked it smells good, it gives most people extra saliva in their mouth. Based on a good smelling dish you’ve enough with just a little (bad) meat. Don’t worry about that bad meat, you can become a centenarian with it however the important thing here is nutrition.

I take as example the dinner which now consists of a little piece of meat, about 70% vegetables and 15% basic food like potatoes, rice, etc.. The fresher your food the better. I mean, your food should come from the field and be eaten within 72 to 96 hours. Be aware of those fresh vegetables in the supermarket, those are most of the time more then a year old!!! When you get a good carrot fresh from the field of a farmer who cultivates vegetables according the biological standards the carrot is firm and 2 weeks later the carrot is still firm but take a firm carrot from the supermarket and if you don’t put it in a cooler but just on the shelf then next day it’s like rubber that’s bad food.

Now over to eating food itself so you get maximum nutrition from it. Whatever you eat when it’s in your mouth the digestive process is in it’s important starting phase. Before swallowing we need to chew our food very good, for each bite we should chew 40 times, that’s why we’ve teeth for. When food is being chewed then in our saliva are extra aids to break down your food so it’s already a little digested before you swallow. When you swallow there’s nearly no digestion before the food/nutrition (food became nutritious a little in your mouth, I can not say this enough!) becomes into your stomach. It’s oblivious that from the moment we’ve swallowed we can’t do anything anymore, from in the stomach our body takes over and the better the food is and the better the chewing is the better for your stomach and intestines to further break down the food/nutrition into nutrition that goes via a complex system into our blood.

In food are hundreds of nutrition’s which must be taken into our blood, the better the nutrition the better your stomach, the better your blood circulation, the better for your heart and lungs.

Our lungs are our primary organ for life. We can be without food for ours but we need very quickly air. As a matter of speak you can see our lungs as a very quick stomach, we breath in and in no time oxygen comes via our blood in our brain. Failure to do so causes death.

Smoking was a while seen as a healthy method to get quickly gasses in our bloodstream straight to our brain and indeed smoking good tobacco in a healthy way it can cure some lung diseases.

Our lungs are still used to administer quickly medication like for asthma patients who have a bottle upside down and take puffs of medication. Our lungs are still also used as only a transit of gasses quickly to our brain for anestheology.

Tobacco however in today’s cigarettes contain also a lot of poison even who stay in our lungs if we don’t take good care and slowly ‘glue’ lung tissue what can cause severe illness, remember that the main task in normal conditions is bringing air (oxygen) to our brain.

The smoke in our lungs give ‘nutrition’ into our bloodstream whereby we’ve a quick satisfaction feeling in our brain for the nicotine. However our bloodstream isn’t divided in parts for the point of view of non medical doctors so a lot of smoke poison gasses come into our bloodstream and break down at least an important circulatorory nutrition vitamin C therefore smokers should even more than other people take daily a gram of vitamin C. A gram is much but vitamin C is a very essential component, when lacking vitamin C then you die. When some hundreds years ago ships traveled for months to discover new land etc... many many sailors died due to the lack of vitamin C because when they departed they could take a limited quantity of fruit because after a short time fruit and other vitamin C containing food becomes bad while they needed food for 3 to 4 months and in that time they had only good food.

Vitamin C is a component that’s very easy for our body, when we take 0.5gram, or 5 gram our body takes what it needs and the remaining goes via a healthy process away with our urine.

I advice smokers to take 3 times a day right before eating 0.5gram pure vitamin C. You can buy it OTC in a pharmacy with a kilo in white nearly powder. Take a soup spoon to take the vitamin C and do it in a glass of bottled water, turn in the water till the vitamin C is solved into the water, drink it and start to eat. Smokers who smoke mainly after their last meal I advice to drink vitamin C like described before they go to bed or do I need to say after your last cigarette. Also other smokers and non smokers can do the same. Vitamin C is since hundreds of years known as a very healthy component and there’s still research going on about taking vitamin C for cell regeneration. Vitamin C has many functions and it’s helpful by cell regeneration but probably more than we know and because certainly the tar in tobacco put a heavy strain on the lung cells smokers can use additional vitamin C and you never have to worry about taking to much.

Vitamin C is an acid, it’s called ascorbic acid which is also an anti oxidant. When you see (female) face products it says often that it contains an anti oxidant, those are for every human being these days very important in the struggle against free radicals, a reason the more the use daily 3 to 4 times 0.5gram vitamin C.

The storage of vitamin C is very important, never do the powder in a metal container!!! Mainly when you buy vitamin C with a kilo or so you get it in a dark brown glass bottle maybe with a sponge within. Vitamin C may not come in contact with metal, air and light. Of course there’s some air in the bottle of vitamin C that’s why you do not use a half a bottle, going for 3 months on vacation, come back and use it further, in this case you throw the vitamin C away and buy new.

Suppose mother and father are taken vitamin C, when the food is ready on the table, somebody takes out the closet the bottle when the 2 glasses of water are ready, open the vitamin C bottle, a soup spoon in on one glass (while not touching the water!!!) and another soup spoon in the other glass. Closing quickly the vitamin C bottle and put it immediately in pure dark and not warmer then 77°F (25°C) place. When you’ve taken the last vitamin C for the meal you can use that soup spoon to turn already in the water the solve, in the other glass is a spoon and you bring the two glasses to the table, even when not yet all vitamin C is completely solved you can drink it but an underestimated factor by taking a meal is to be relaxed so why the hurry for a second more to completely solve the vitamin C.

Smoking Restrictions And Tobacco Legislation In Africa

Author: cristina

President Yoweri Museveni affirmed that in Uganda there is one Tobacco Company that provides almost one-sixteenth of Uganda's total tax revenue and offers different jobs to more than half million people in a country that needs so much any kinds of  jobs. The company is helping the children that are infected with AIDS and the victims that have suffered from the war.

In Uganda there is an antismoking activist and a well known lawyer, Phillip Karugaba. He has another opinion about the tobacco company. He affirms that if there were 1,000 B.A.T.'s there would be no more population in Africa.  He is a person that tries to help Africa follow the same rules like the entire world regarding smoking. B.A.T. is such a powerful and big company that is not considered to be a monster, but this is only for a while, he said.

British American Tobacco is located in London but of course it has subsidiaries in Africa and in countries from all over the world. Smoking in Africa is still allowed on a lot of domestic airlines. In restaurants and bars where people are smoking too. There are a few hospitals that allow smoking a cigarette if they want. In Africa smoking is less controlled than in other countries. South Africa, with sub-Saharan Africa's is very strong in economy in comparison with Uganda which is far behind and it relies on the foreign economical assistance.

Because in many African countries is a lack of tobacco legislation, these countries are a target for a lot of tobacco companies. British American Tobacco is the second biggest cigarette manufacturer after Philip Morris.  Many companies that have their tobacco business in Africa have tried everything possible to maintain Africa a smoking zone. But even though they have tried so hard to do this, smoking bans appear in that part of the world, slowly but surely.

Mr. Karugaba's ordered the country's National Environmental Management Authority to make smoking restrictions in public places; these bans have to be enforced within a year. B.A.T asked if they could participate at the first meeting but they were not allowed to do that.

Anti tobacco advocates affirm that the only goal that Tobacco Companies have is how to regulate the tobacco market. In Uganda started to put warning labels about how dangerous is smoking on the cigarette packs.
Mr. Karugaba is trying to find a court order that would make these smoking restrictions more severe and maximize the purpose of the warnings. On the warning labels there was written: ''Ministry of Health warning: Cigarette smoking can be harmful to your health.''

In the late 1980’s British American Tobacco said to the policy makers that they don’t believe that cigarette is harmful. In 1988 the British American Tobacco has wrote to the Ugandan government that the message from the warning labels should be not so strong. But from that time the company has realized the bad health effects that are caused by smoking.  Mr. Karugaba is demanding clear messages about what smoking cigarettes could lead to. The antismoking movement in Africa has advanced in the last years; lawsuits where individual smokers are implicated are something usual.

Because the company was worried about its business and image it has started a public relation campaign. Uganda has its own Monitor, an independent newspaper that leads the population to discussions about smoking.

But in the same time Moses Ali, who is the minister of industry, trade and tourism has invited the population to smoke like it is something related to patriotism. He also said that no one is forced to smoke cigarettes, but if there is someone that would like to do this, he is welcome, because the state will get taxes from them.

The most known cheerleader of all B.A.T. was Mr. Museveni, and he said that the tobacco company is the best things that ever happened to a country that is so destitute. Mr. Museveni advised everyone to smoke but not to inhale the smoke, because it causes cancer. And he also said that Europeans have cancer problems because they inhale the smoke, His father has smoked for 70 years but stayed alive by not inhaling the smoke from the cigarettes. But in Africa there are bigger health problems than the tobacco usage: for example AIDS, malaria and others.

Second Hand Smoke Affects your Pets

Author: Stop Smoking

The life you save may be your pet's!

There's always been lots of information about second hand smoke and people but did you know there is considerable research proving secondhand smoke is harmful for pets too?

Think about this everytime you light up in your house with Fido on your lap, or when you're taking Spot to his favorite park.

The American Lung Association of New Hampshire provides some stunning facts on why you should consider your pets when you smoke around them.

DOGS

• Dogs that inhale secondhand smoke are three times more likely to develop lung or nasal cancer than dogs living in smoke-free homes.
• Dogs can experience allergic reactions to secondhand smoke. Common symptoms of this allergic reaction are the scratching, biting, and chewing of their skin. Owners often confuse this reaction with fleas or food allergies.
• Cigarette butts can also be deadly. Two butts, if eaten by a puppy, can cause death in a relatively short period of time.

BIRDS

• Birds can react badly to secondhand smoke and may develop eye problems, as well as other respiratory problems like coughing and wheezing.
• Birds that sit on a smoker’s hand can experience contact dermatitis from the nicotine that remains on the smoker’s hand. This can cause them to pull out their feathers.

CATS

• Cats exposed to secondhand smoke in the home have a higher rate of an oral cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, which may be due to the way cats groom themselves. When cats groom themselves they eat the poisons from secondhand smoke that have settled on their fur.
• Cats exposed to secondhand smoke have a higher rate of feline lymphoma, a deadly form of cancer, than cats not exposed to secondhand smoke.
• Cats can develop respiratory problems, lung inflammation, and asthma as a result of secondhand smoke. There are 4,000 chemicals in secondhand smoke, and 43 are known to cause cancer.

Other dangerous issues can occur......

By ingestion of cigarette or cigar butts which contain toxins. Death- From 1-5 cigarettes and from 1/3-1 cigar can be fatal if ingested.
By drinking water that contains cigar or cigarette butts (which can have high concentrations of nicotine)
By ingestion of nicotine replacement gum and patches.

Think again of the health effects:
Breathing problems in dogs and asthmatic-like symptoms in cats
Salivation
Diarrhea
Vomiting
Cardiac abnormalities
Respiratory difficulties and respiratory paralysis
Feline lymphoma in cats
Lung cancer in dogs
Nasal cancer in dogs

Prevention:
As in the case of children and others in the home, don’t smoke.
If you must smoke take it outside- Don’t expose others to your smoke
Don’t allow others to smoke around your pets.
Keep ashtrays clean- Don’t leave butts in them for pets to find.
Dispose of nicotine gum and patches in receptacles that can’t be accessed by pets.
Consider quitting- The health effects of your smoking on pets is just one more good reason to quit.

If you can't or won't quit, consider a safer alternative......electric cigarettes. Products like Green Smoke are devices shaped like a cigarette but they contain a battery, water and nicotine. You'll still get your nicotine fix but you and the people and pets around you won't be inhaling the 4000 toxic chemicals that cause major health issues every day.

Is Free Stop Smoking Hypnosis Any Good or Safe?

Author: DENNIS HAMPTON

Smoking is one of the biggest problems that trouble our modern society as more than 4 million people die every year from a smoking caused illness. Free stop smoking hypnosis is one of the most modern methods to fight nicotine.

The cause of smoking is different for each individual as there is a variety of emotional and psychological factors involved. A personal problem can make one start smoking just like a very stressful life style. The free stop smoking hypnosis helps you from inside your own mind.

If the smoking causes are within each individual doctors say that the cure is also there. So this is why any quit smoking program comes with a lot of counseling for helping one overcome all the imminent difficulties.

Some people are ready to try new free stop smoking hypnosis techniques and are pleased with the results. Let's see the pros and cons of free stop smoking hypnosis methods.

The problem with free stop smoking hypnosis treatments is that you don't really know what it really goes on during the procedure. Basically during free stop smoking hypnosis sessions the nicotine addiction should be eliminated from your subconscious. Maybe you've seen shows where a person is hypnotized and then makes some foolish things, all those happenings are real. About the method, yes, it can be useful, because the mind can simply be programmed to hate cigarettes but I wouldn't trust anyone to play with my mind.

Theoretically free stop smoking hypnosis can be successfully applied to some patients and if you surf the Internet for opinions you will find a lot of happy stories as well as some complaints against this method. Presently a large number of free stop smoking hypnosis mp3s exist on various sites.

As I see it the only advantage to stop smoking hypnosis method over the classical treatments is that there are no side effects as those reported in the case of some nicotine-based substitutes. As a common disadvantage of the free stop smoking hypnosis mp3 files that can be found on the Internet is that you'll have to waste a lot of time listening to them.

Usually about 6 hours of listening are needed every week so if you have this time to spend, the free stop smoking hypnosis might be the solution for you. However, it would be best to turn to a professional in the field, even if you have to pay for the procedure. Such organized non-free stop smoking hypnosis therapy shows results sooner than the free variants available on the Internet.

How to Buy Cheap Cigarettes, Tobacco and Cigars

Author: Dave Simmons

With the ever increasing taxes and duties being applied to cigarettes, tobacco and cigars, especially in the United Kingdom, it is becoming more and more expensive for smokers to buy the products they require.

In the United Kingdom government duty accounts for 76% of the cost of a typical pack of 20 cigarettes at April 2009 and this is with the temporary reduction of 2.5% Value Added Tax.

Couple with manufactures price increases; this makes it progressively more difficult for UK smokers, especially those that are retired and living solely on their state pension.

It has become necessary for smokers and more so for heavy smokers, to find cheaper places to source their favourite brands of cigarettes and rolling tobacco. Very few people that enjoy smoking have given up because of the increasing costs.

Many cigarette smokers have started buying roll your own tobaccos, such as Golden Virginia, Amber Leaf and Cutters Choice, while those that were already buying rolling tobacco have resorted to buying cheaper brands, such as Domingo, JPS Tobacco and Turner.

Due to these high costs there are now many internet websites selling cheaper tobacco products although some of them, especially from Eastern Europe, are selling inferior copy cigarettes, which usually can be identified by the extremely low prices. Indeed, some of those websites don´t even send the goods.

Our own site http://www.tobaccoking.co.uk/ supplies exactly the same quality cigarettes, tobacco and cigars as you would expect to buy from your local tobacconist or supermarket.

This is because we are based in Spain and are able to get all the top quality brands. The only difference is that the warnings are in Spanish.

Due to these low prices we are able to give our regular customers huge savings, enabling them to save 100s or more per year on their smoking products. In addition we give new customers an extra 10% off their 1st purchase. All goods are sent securely in plain wrappers by courier. We have 1000s of happy customers and you can find some of their testimonials on our website.

Crafe Away is the perfect solution for them because it feels and tastes like a real cigarette while being perfectly harmless.

Teen Smoking Facts

Author: Millard Hiner

There are more anti smoking measures being taken today than ever before, yet some teenagers disregard what they are told and begin to smoke anyway. This could be due to the fact that, despite all of our good efforts, these children are still not being fully educated about the very real dangers of smoking. Teenagers are at risk for very serious health problems once they begin smoking. Smoking can also lead to other bad habits suck as drinking and drug use. Parents are the biggest influence and do have the power to introduce their children to the dangers of smoking. There are other environmental factors though, that still make it easy and acceptable for teenagers to smoke. With combined efforts from adults, teenagers could be able to get the necessary education and make the decision to not smoke.

Even with all of the anti-smoking programs budgeted into our schools each year, approximately 3000 adolescents a day pick up the habit of smoking. Teens today are constantly being told that smoking is no good, yet it is estimated that about 4.5 million adolescents in the United States are smokers.

Smoking is becoming more taboo in our society than ever before with the elimination of cigarette ads, cigarettes on television, and smoking in public areas. Yet, some teens still can't help but wonder what the big fuss about smoking is. Odds are, most of these teenagers were probably bombarded with statements such as, "Smoking will turn your teeth yellow", or "Smoking will make your breath smell", but were never given any actual facts about what serious effects smoking can actually have on their bodies.

By educating themselves with a few teen smoking facts, teenagers will have a better chance at staying away from cigarettes and leading a long and healthy life. Smoking can have serious effects on people's bodies and because teens are still in a stage of development, they are even more susceptible to these harmful effects. There are more than 400 chemicals in cigarette smoke and more than 40 of them, are known carcinogens.

With every drag of a cigarette, you inhale a lung full of tar (yes, the stuff they use to pave the streets), hydrogen cyanide, benzene, acetone, formaldehyde, ammonia, and carbon monoxide. You wouldn't inhale the fumes from the tail pipe of a car, why would you inhale these fumes from a cigarette?

Obviously, teens who smoke are destined to inherit some serious health problems. Teen smokers have smaller lungs and weaker hearts than those teens who don't smoke. Teenage smokers are also more prone to getting sick than non smoking teens. Teenagers usually don't realize that nicotine addiction becomes more powerful over time. What starts out as a habit of smoking 5-10 cigarettes a day, could increase to a 2 pack a day problem.

A study shows that those who smoke even a pack of day die on average 7 years earlier than those who have never smoked. Smoking kills over 1,200 Americans a day and is the single most preventable cause of premature death. Teenagers who partake in smoking are also much more likely to experiment with other drugs and alcohol which can cause serious problems of their own. Teens who smoke are traveling down a very dangerous road, and most don't realize that once they begin their travels, they will most likely never stop.

Even with all of the measures taken to prevent teenage smoking, there are still some factors that exist that promote it. Parents are the biggest influence in a teenager's life. Adolescents who have two parents who smoke are more than twice as likely to become smokers as those children with non smoking parents. Parents are sometimes uncomfortable talking to their teens about not smoking because they feel the information is going in one ear and out the other, but the truth is that most of these kids are listening.

Of the 3000 adolescents who being smoking each day, close to 1000 of them will die a smoking related death. This is why it so important for parents to talk to their children and explain the dangers of smoking. Even though in most states you have to be 18 or older to purchase cigarettes, a 2001 survey shows that 69.4 percent of teen smokers reported never being asked for proof of age when buying cigarettes in a store. This same survey found that 62.4 percent were allowed to buy cigarettes even thought the retailer was aware they were under the age of 18.

Teen smoking facts are very important for today's young adult. The more knowledge these teenagers acquire, the more likely they will have the power to make a firm, conscious decision to never start smoking. Smoking related deaths claim more American lives than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, homicide and illegal drugs combined. The sad part is that these deaths could all have been prevented. By educating teens to the fullest extent, they have a better chance of beating these odds and making their future bright.

There are more anti smoking measures being taken today than ever before, yet some teenagers disregard what they are told and begin to smoke anyway. This could be due to the fact that, despite all of our good efforts, these children are still not being fully educated about the very real dangers of smoking. Teenagers are at risk for very serious health problems once they begin smoking. Smoking can also lead to other bad habits suck as drinking and drug use. Parents are the biggest influence and do have the power to introduce their children to the dangers of smoking.

Psychologist Recommends Ways to Use FREE Internet Tools and Hypnosis Downloads to Quit Smoking Now!

Author: Gerald Solfanelli

As an American psychologist and certified hypnotherapist, I advocate the use of clinical hypnosis for smoking cessation, one of the least expensive and most effective approaches to becoming smoke-free. Since the American Medical Association approved its use, in the 1950's, hundreds of thousands of people have found hypnosis to be an effective way to stop smoking, lose weight, and otherwise improve their lives.

Since 1992, according to New Scientist magazine, it has been known that "Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking." Its quote was based upon a study cited within the Journal of Applied Psychology, earlier that same year. These findings appear to hold true, even in today's healthcare environment that seemingly demonstrates an overemphasis upon pharmacological approaches.

Over 80% of smokers admit that they desire to be smoke-free. Nonetheless, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nicotine dependence causes more annual premature deaths than HIV, illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides and murders combined. Smoking robs lifetime smokers of an average of seven years of their lives, with their final years often characterized as painfully debilitating. Dr. Gro Harlem Brundtland, the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Former Director-General, stated it most succinctly, when she said "A cigarette is the only consumer product which when used as directed kills its consumer."

The insidious truth, about this profit-driven problem, is that the annual American health care costs of smoking reaches over billion. It is responsible for more than 7% of all deaths, throughout the world. According to the WHO, within about a decade, this same estimate will likely increase to nearly 18% of worldwide deaths. Yearly, an average of over 3,000 American children and adults, will experience disease and premature death, from second-hand smoke. Worldwide, careless cigarette smoking is the number one cause of deaths from residential fires.

Although combining hypnosis with other forms of treatment, which can be recommended by your family physician or pharmacist, can increase its efficacy, it is not a necessity. If you know where to look, the Internet actually offers a place wherein you can download FREE self-hypnosis MP3 audio smoking cessation programs and even FREE ebook copies of best-selling smoking cessation books, like Allen Carr's popular "The Illustrated Easy Way to Stop Smoking."

Not surprisingly, clinical hypnosis is an often-misunderstood treatment that is basically an exercise in deep meditation. Once in a deeply relaxed state, one's mind simply develops a natural, heightened focus. It is this fixed concentration that affords one the unique ability to incorporate the hypnotist's smoke-free suggestions into everyday life.

Any behavior can be instantly changed, if there exist enough emotional pain associated with the old behavior, and enough motivating pleasure associated with the new behavior. On a subconscious level, in order to create lasting behavioral change, hypnosis can help to reinforce these real positive / negative consequences, like manipulating a dream, but more absorbing. The healthy result is often described as a nearly effortless, permanent change.

Most people are actually quite susceptible to the phenomenon of hypnotic suggestion, if it is consistent with something desired. In fact, it is not uncommon for many two-pack a day, twenty-plus years smokers to quit, after their first treatment. Nonetheless, I recommend reinforcing the hypnotic suggestions, with a self-hypnosis audio program for smoking cessation. Daily listening to your recording, for at least two weeks, should help to ensure a more positive treatment outcome.

Although most smokers attempt to quit using "willpower," it is the least effective approach, requiring numerous, successive attempts, in order to finally become successful. Most prescription and over-the-counter quit smoking aids are only about 25% effective. The best indicators of success, with using the effectiveness of hypnosis to quit, are one's prior ability to have successfully quit for at least one month; and one's desire today to be smoke-free.
