“Stop Smoking Therapist Stephen Richards Explaines Why Ex-Smokers Are Likely To Get Cancer And How To Avoid It”

Friday, October 21st, 2011

When a substance that the body has become addicted to is removed it can go haywire! The health risks of non-smoking include neurotic depression, violent irritability, and rapid weight gain. But these tend to be discounted by the medical profession because they lead to death only indirectly.

When you examine how some Third World countries with the lowest incidence of smoking addiction have some of the highest adult mortality rates it makes you wonder if the experts have it right! Examining the rise in smoking in the Western World during the 20th century and the correlation to increased life expectancy, nation by nation, also goes against the grain of what health professionals say about smoking being bad for you.

Doctors at the K.S. Hegde Medical Academy in Mangalore, India were struck by the more than casual relationship between the appearance of lung cancer and an abrupt and recent cessation of the smoking habit in many, if not most, cases. Backing this up is how anti-smoking guru and former smoker Allen Carr who helped many smokers kick the habit died from lung cancer.

Self-help therapist Stephen Richards clarifies why giving up smoking without first taking some precautionary steps can be chancy, “Tolerance levels to high dosages of nicotine and the related unhealthy by-products from smoking can build up a high degree of immunity within a smoker. Of course this comes about over a long period of time, so it makes sense that to stop suddenly can bring about certain physiological reactions that want to heal the body from what clogged its respiratory system up. This is when problems can occur. Stopping smoking in an uncontrolled manner can bring about certain reactions within the body, activating an uncontrolled cell division and tumour genesis. This is why it is wise to lock out the potential of such an incidence from happening.”

When it comes to smoking cessation why is that some will buy a gimmick that mimics a real cigarette over the internet and stick it in their mouth without even considering the risks? Smoking cessation merchandise that offers a shorter route to successful quitting is not necessarily the best or most cost effective way to go about giving up.

Hypnosis can help smokers to quit, but for it to work properly you need multiple sessions with a therapist … and it is costly. The traditional smoking cessation self-hypnosis route only works if you have cast iron willpower. This is why so many who have tried hypnosis have had a relapse or two.

Dropping down to a lower strength brand of cigarettes lulls you into false hope that one day you will get to zero nicotine intake. Nine tenths of smoking addiction is mental, only one tenth being physical! Research has shown that smokers dropping down a brand tend to fail at giving up smoking compared to other smokers. It was found that those smokers switching to a lower brand had a success rate of remaining an ex-smoker of only 50 percent! They had weakened their resolve to quit because their will power had been weakened by the very act of continuing to feed their habit while trying to give up.

Even those products that target the unconscious mind with subliminal messaging have a downside. The potency of the subliminal audio is lost if the listener is not able to fully comprehend what is being said. Audio messages buried in music can be difficult to pick up; although the healthy human ear registers everything it picks up this is not so if the subliminal is buried too deep within the audio. Therefore if the subliminal message is too well hidden then it is no use for giving up smoking or anything else.

Take a look at how many anti-smoking products are available and you start to become mesmerised by the array of products on offer. There are stick on patches that overload you with nicotine, then there’s nicotine gum that tastes like a camel’s … well you get the idea. There’s even what is called an ‘electronic cigarette’ that mimics the actions of a real cigarette but without the smoke, and still filling you up with nicotine. Why load up with nicotine when the very thing you want to break free from is still in your system.

The electronic cigarette looks and feels similar to a real cigarette, it even plumes out artificial smoke. The very manner of how this works continues to keep your hand to mouth action in your memory. Even without any of the carcinogens found in tobacco smoke, with the electronic cigarette you are simply replacing one addiction with another!

Nicotine gum, patches and other nicotine replacement products designed to wean smokers off cigarettes can be costly. You also have to remember to stick the patch on, or what if you run out of gum at an inopportune moment? What if there was an alternative product that only took up 30 minutes of your time and only had to be used from time to time? Former clinical hypnotherapist Stephen Richards has turned his back on the use of hypnosis for smoking cessation in favour of this up to date method, which does away with any sort of hypnosis.

Steering away from hypnosis and subliminal messaging and into a more direct method has put this product at the top end of the anti-smoking market. Gone is the need to remember to apply your patch or spend endless hours listening to downloads or on spending time on the hypnotherapist’s couch. With this up to date method by Stephen Richards the very centre of the problem is targeted in less than 30 minutes, and you get to hear every word that is said to you. Using top end technology you will find that it is not only a time saving method, but only needs as much use as you yourself determine. There is no overdosing on nicotine or having to chew on boring gum.

Innovative self-help therapist and bestselling author Stephen Richards says, “I am extremely pleased with this product, it is well ahead of anything else out there that tackles smoking addiction. The old therapy disciplines that once tackled this are outdated; they have become jaded with the passage of time. I have developed a product that is exciting and genuine in what it does. This gives smokers a real chance to become and remain ex-smokers.”

This method designed by top self-help therapist Stephen Richards will help the smoker unleash the power of the unconscious mind within them which in turn will help eliminate their cravings for cigarettes and the urge to smoke. Now with this technology you can curb the cravings for nicotine as they come, one by one. Everything you need to quit smoking once and for all is within you right now.
