Quit smoking might not be as easy as you think. Nicotine which is present in cigarettes is highly addictive. When smoked it releases happy hormones in the blood which results in addiction. Smokers feel the urge to smoke again and again. But in the meantime, there is an increase in carbon dioxide in the blood which starves the body organ. But what happens when you quit smoking?
How smoking can affect your body?
According to the Mayo Clinic, one of the nicotine dependence symptoms is Cigarette craving. After quitting tobacco, your body will show a sudden urge of jumping back to the old pattern. Many people fail to quit smoking as they cannot control their cravings and urges and grab that pack of cigarettes again. Nicotine releases a happy hormone in your body and when you quit, the lack of happy hormone makes you feel worse.
As you age, your body starts to falter under the constant bombardment of toxic smoke. The first place you will notice the change will be in your lungs—that shortness of breath, the coughing in the morning. For instance, when your non-smoker friends play sport without being physically drained, or while the other family members enjoy adventurous trips, you haven’t the energy to participate. Then you know, it’s time to give up the unhealthy smoking habit. It’s the perfect time to investigate the quit smoking treatment offered in Brisbane by the Quit Smoking Experts.

How Hypnotherapy is the Answer rather than Quit Smoking Cold Turkey
Think of hypnotherapy as quitting on your own terms with your hypnotherapist helping you. After just one session with a hypnotherapist, you can become a nonsmoker. Doesn’t that sound better than weeks of agonizing withdrawal symptoms and fighting the urge to smoke?
Finding a hypnotherapist you can trust is crucial to the process as a whole. If there is any shred of doubt in your mind, hypnotherapy may not work. You need to be ready to trust your hypnotherapist, and you need to truly want to be a non-smoker. You must be ready and committed.
Think about why you started smoking
Was it stress relief? Peer pressure? No matter how much you enjoyed cigarettes in the beginning, chances are you don’t enjoy them now as you once did. You reach for a cigarette because smoking controls you, not because you truly want that cigarette. This is what makes hypnotherapy for smoking so unique. It works to diminish this relationship that smoking has with your mind. After meeting with a good hypnotherapist, you will never want a cigarette again. The habit will be gone.
Now think about why you want to quit. Do you want to do it for your partner? Your kids? Is your family trying to get you to quit? No matter how close to your heart the reason may be, you will not be successful until you want to quit.
