Most people who smoke know it’s dangerous and want to quit smoking. It’s all over the media, everyone is talking about how bad cigarettes are for your health, and it is even on the cigarette packs. Big warnings telling you the hazards of smoking and why you should quit smoking. Smoking is becoming a very inconvenient habit, most bars and restaurants are banning cigarettes worldwide, leaving smokers with no other option but to go outside and smoke in the cold.

But what is it that keeps normal, sane adults from clinging on to a habit that, not only is unpopular and somewhat of a struggle to maintain, but could potentially kill them?

The answer is; smoking contains nicotine, which is addictive, and over time your body is given the illusion that nicotine is a necessity, and when you leave your cigarettes for too long, the body begins to send signals that something is amiss and it needs a new supply of nicotine. The longer you continue to smoke, the stronger this addiction becomes, and so does the side effects of giving up smoking.

The side effects of giving up cigarettes can be many, as over time, nicotine has become a necessity for your body, and the lack of it will trigger cravings and withdrawal symptoms. These can be both mental and physical.

The most common are the mental side effects, which include stress, irritation, or perhaps a feeling of something is missing. You see, there are many situations which can trigger these cravings; usually you just light up a cigarette and the negativity fades. But if you’re trying to quit, you can’t light up a cigarette, and the symptoms grow stronger. Making you stressed, you lose focus, and you are possibly a very grumpy person to be around.

So how can we go about avoiding these symptoms? Well, the answer is simple.

Use hypnosis to quit smoking. It is a proven method that has works time after time. By using hypnosis methods like Neuro Linguistic Programming, you can easily avoid these cravings. It works pretty easy; most of the cravings are, as we discussed earlier in the article, inside your head. And with hypnosis, you can access your subconscious mind, and tell yourself to ignore these cravings. Thus eliminating the cravings completely.
