Quitting Smoking When You Know It's Just A Habit

Knowing how to quit smoking when you realise that it's just a habit, but you keep on doing it anyway, is easier than you might think. A surprising number of smokers have already reached the conclusion that their smoking is just a habit and not an addiction. They know this because the nicotine patches and quit smoking medications, have failed to work for them.

In fact most report having used nicotine patches and still continue smoking, at the same time, simply because they were having a coffee or a meal, it's because they have such a strong association with smoking and food and drinks.

If nicotine was the only problem then it would be logical that all smokers would give up smoking, using nicotine replacement therapy alone. Yet this is certainly not the case, for the vast majority of smokers.

So if the problem is just a habit then why don't smokers just change their minds and quit? Think for a moment about the things you do in your life, those things that you do out of habit, perhaps the way you eat, the way you speak and so on.


Think about some other habits you might have. Biting nails, putting on one sock before the other, sleeping on the same side of the bed, getting up at a certain time etc. How hard do you find it to change even the most simple of habits.

Now think about how many cigarettes you have had in your life. Lets say you smoke twenty a day, and you have smoked for twenty years, that's one hundred and fortysix thousand cigarettes in total.

If you have a smoke when you wake up that's seven thousand three hundred times you have woken up and had a cigarette. If you smoke when you have a coffee break in the morning and afternoon, that's fourteen thousand six hundred cups of coffee and cigarettes.

I'm sure you are getting the picture. These habits are very ingrained, they have been re-enforced over and over into your brain thousands of times. It's no wonder that you have difficulty quitting.

All of these times when you have tried to stop smoking, going cold turkey or with patches, your subconscious fights you every inch of the way. Even though your conscious mind has clearly made the decision to quit. But what are a few decisions against thousands of repeated habits. So the question remains how can you break these entrenched habits quickly and easily. The best solution, and possibly the only solution which can easily address long-held subconscious habits is hypnosis. Hypnosis is designed specifically to bi-pass the critical factor, which is like the gatekeeper to your subconscious, it works because willpower is useless at getting past this wall. Hypnosis slides past in a stealthy way and gently prods the old beliefs, which then allows the practitioner to make new positive suggestions which will be specifically designed to make you feel like you have been a non smoker your entire life.
