Here is an article I wrote based on government and psychological research about Smoker’s Mindset.
Smokers identify themselves as smokers. The mental picture they hold in their head is being a smoker. They say, “I am a smoker,” Cigarettes are a “friend” in times of boredom, loneliness, a bond with others who smoke and something to do with the hands. Cigarettes are always there in times of stress or rough times for calming relaxation. Unfortunately, the pleasure chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine released in the brain is only temporary, and another smoke is needed soon. Smokers often think of that moment of pleasure, not the future. Cigarette breaks are enjoyed as benefit as well.
Smokers know smoking is unhealthy. The average smoker is aware that he/she spends about $5000 per year of after-tax dollars. Smokers are often broke because they smoke and smoke because of the stress of not having money. Each smoker’s lifetime value to a cigarette company is hundreds of thousands of dollars. A smoker has tried various methods to stop smoking, 7 to 30 times without success. The patches and the other nicotine products only stopped 7 to 12% of them. They would like to quit, but they are tired of failure. They are tired of being told to stop and being discriminated against in public. Secretly, they wish they could become a true non-smoker who does not want to smoke, instead of someone who simply resists smoking.
Now, why would hypnosis work? Hypnosis focuses upon changing the identification of “I am a smoker” to “I am a non-smoker.” Consciously, people want to stop smoking. However, the desire for cigarettes comes from the unconscious/subconscious mind, as a habit. The average smoker has completed the puff ritual over a million times. Consciously, often secretly, the smoker wishes he could quit. Hypnosis helps to release the same healthy pleasure chemicals as tobacco. Hypnosis is successful at breaking all the habit connections between smoking and alcohol, coffee, stress, anger, frustration, boredom, and more.
Hypnosis works with the subconscious mind. We convince the subconscious that tobacco is not a friend because it robs you of your health, your wealth, your youth, gives you wrinkles, yellow teeth, and is a devious parasitic friend that is stabbing you in the back. Smokers want control back, but they do not want anyone to tell them what to do. They would like freedom from tobacco, for the desire to smoke forces them to run outside for a smoke in thirty below weather, to run down to the store to replenish stock or to buy cartons of cigarettes instead of shoes for their child. It adds stress to their relationships and health. They are usually more concerned about the health of their loved ones and their pets breathing second-hand smoke than themselves.
Yes, smoking affects every part of the body, head to toe. If a heavy smoker is in a bathing suit 20-30 feet away, his tobacco scent can still be noticed by a non-smoker’s sense of smell. Many smokers have given up trying to quit because of the fear of failure happening once again. So, the mind produces rationalizations that make no sense to the non-smoker: “Well, you could also be hit by a bus” or “I like smoking.” According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, smoking is still the world’s major cause of preventable death. Fortunately, the genius computer inside our body starts a healing process the day someone quits. People report breathing easier and often become more involved in physical activities.
Hypnosis reduces and eliminates thinking and desires for smoking. Some people say, “I can’t even remember smoking.” When you are hypnotized, you are focused on and super-aware of the hypnotist’s voice, while your mind and body are totally relaxed. You do not lose control. You gain control. Hypnosis helps the smoker to subconsciously identify as a non-smoker and recognize tobacco as an abusive partner that controls them, harms, and lies to them. The only solution is a divorce from the relationship with tobacco.
Fortunately, mental sets can change rapidly with hypnosis. There are many healthier options for stress management and many healthier options for weight control. Smokers need a multiple method plan to put into action, and that is what the Romane Stop Smoking System does. Every detail of the puzzle is covered. Smokers need to be unhypnotized to change the picture in their subconscious mind from smoker to a clean fresh air breather. Will power alone usually does not work as it only has the limited power of the conscious mind.
Once a smoker quits, they may be called back by thoughts such as “it’s just one,” “one won’t hurt,” then they get hooked again, by just one. Fortunately, Hypnosis can prevent this from happening.
Some quit more for family or to see the grandchildren growing up, but it is always the smoker’s choice. Only they can decide the time and crossroads direction to regain personal freedom from the control of three inches of tobacco stuffed in a paper cylinder. If you insist that they stop, they feel stressed and may smoke more.
When smokers stop smoking, they feel power and excitement about the rest of their life. Often this new confidence helps them to move towards starting a new business, losing weight, stopping drinking, going to the gym and more.
