For the Media

You already know smoking is bad for you and that it can kill you. What you may not know and believe is that quitting is the easy part. You quit smoking dozens of times every day. Staying quit without getting jittery, overeating or suffering from withdrawal--that's the part most people need help with.

Understanding what causes the smoking habit will help you to quit smoking and stay quit.

There are three prerequisites required before you will quit smoking.

1. You must WANT TO QUIT SMOKING.
2. You must MAKE A DECISION TO QUIT SMOKING. Decision means, "No matter how much it hurts, I'm going to quit smoking."
3. You must LEARN HOW TO STAY COMFORTABLE
   WITHOUT SMOKING. Here's how to do that:

The cigarette addiction has three components. Two are mental,
and one is physical.

Relaxation and Pleasure

The first component is that people smoke for relaxation and pleasure. This component makes up about 45% of the smoking addiction. Here's how this was programmed into your mind.

When an infant cries, its parent picks it up and places a bottle in its mouth. The bottle distracts the baby, it forgets about being cranky, relaxes, and often falls asleep after feeding.

Roughly 33 times each day, the baby wakes up and cries. The parents put the bottle back in the child's mouth, The baby is distracted, relaxes, and falls asleep. So the child's "computer," the unconscious mind, is programmed to associate relaxation and pleasure when something goes into the mouth.

Today, as an adult, you wouldn't dare put a baby bottle in your mouth to keep from being cranky. Instead, you relax by smoking a cigarette.

HERE IS THE SECRET TO ELIMINATING STRESS RELATED CIGARETTE CRAVINGS

To quit smoking without withdrawal or weight gain, when you are smoking for pleasure and to relax, you need to replace smoking with other behaviors that give you an identical pleasure and relaxation. The behaviors that you put in place of smoking must be based on the following:

1) The new behaviors should provide as much pleasure and relaxation as smoking.
2) The new behaviors should be as easily accessible as cigarettes. In other words, they must be behaviors that you can do anywhere, any time.
3) The new behaviors should be more consciously agreeable than are cigarettes, for helping you to relax and achieve pleasure.

You are probably doubting that achieving this behavior change is possible. But there is a simple solution: Self-Hypnosis.

Most likely this isn't the kind of hypnosis that you are imagining. Traditional post-hypnotic suggestions will definitely NOT work for the majority of people! Most people despise being told what to do because our generation has grown up questioning everything. If you hate it when another person tells you what to do, hypnosis that uses post-hypnotic suggestions are simply NOT going to help you.

How to Relax - Your First Lesson

There are numerous ways to achieve relaxation and pleasure very quickly. Here is one very effective way to do this.

First, think of the most beautiful sunset that you've ever seen. If you
have trouble visualizing one be sure to watch the video above, where you'll see a sunset.

If you are visualizing a sunset, don't imagine yourself or any other person in the image. See the vivid colors of the sun and the sky. Feel the beams of light on your face. Hear the quiet sounds and smells of nature around you. Focus on that for thirty seconds.

If you did the visualization properly, then your very thoughts made you feel relaxed. The source of your feelings is your thoughts. By mastering your thoughts, you can master your feelings of stress and withdrawal.

The root of hypnosis is relaxation. By practicing self-hypnosis, you can reduce much of the stress that causes your oral cravings. Hypnosis is the alpha state of brain wave activity. When you visualized the sunset or watched it on the video, you were actually in the state of self-hypnosis!

In Chapter Two of Stop Smoking The Easy Way we're going to discuss the next two components of a smoking addiction. One is conditioned response, the other is physical addiction.
