Have You Had Enough?
Are You Ready?
Stop Smoking Now!

We all know that smoking is hazardous to your health.  And did you know that, of the people who smoke, 40% of them will die from it.  That is because smoking damages the body.  The tars from smoking coat the mouth, tongue, taste buds, the nostrils, the esophagus, and the lungs.  The smoke that is inhaled contains poisonous gasses and carcinogens.  Smoking is connected to 15 types of cancers, heart disease, and contributes to the risk of stroke and lung disease.  On the positive side, once you stop smoking, the body begins the process of rebuilding immediately.  All of the damage can be undone.

If the threat of cancer can't persuade you to quit smoking, maybe the prospect of poverty will.  The financial consequences of lighting up stretch far beyond the cost of a pack of cigarettes. The cost of a pack averages $4.20.  Using this number, a pack-a-day smoker burns through about $29.40 per week, or more than $1,500 per year. That's a fat house payment or a nice vacation with the family. A 40-year-old who quits smoking and puts the savings into a 401(k) earning 9% a year would have an extra $250,000 by age 70.

The one place many smokers feel free and comfortable to light up is in their car. Without consistent and thorough cleanings, however, a car that is smoked in will soon start to resemble an ashtray on wheels. The interior will inevitably smell like smoke, and stray ashes and butts can burn holes in the upholstery and floor mats.  None of these things has much financial impact until you try to sell the car.

The criteria that apply to cars apply to homes as well, only on a bigger scale.  Smokers' houses often require all new paint and/or wall treatments, as well as professional drapery and carpet cleaning.  Priming and painting an average-size living room, dining room and two bedrooms would cost around $2,100. The average carpet cleaning cost per square foot is put at 28 cents, and the average home has 1,000 square feet of carpet. That's $280. Add $55 to clean a typical sofa and $25 for a chair.

Smokers pay more for insurance and long term; they earn less and receive less in pension and Social Security benefits.

Now for the good news… you CAN stop smoking now.  Contrary to what the tobacco companies would like to tell you, smoking cigarettes IS NOT physically addictive!  We can, however, get psychologically addicted to habit of smoking.  Turning Point Hypnotherapy offers a unique program to assist you in being tobacco free.  Using a combination of language tools and hypnosis we break apart the triggers, the habits, and the emotional connections that you have with cigarettes.  When you no longer associate smoking with drinking, or smoking to relax, or smoking while driving, there is no longer a reason for you to smoke.  You may be surprised to discover that you can just forget to smoke!  No cravings allowed.

Many of the people who come to us have stopped smoking in the past and when there was a significant stressful situation, they thought of reaching for a cigarette thinking that it would help them to solve their problem.  Of course, it doesn’t and they have begun the smoking cycle all over again.  Just like the alcoholic, you can NEVER have another cigarette.  The choice is yours.

We have a 99% success rate because we pre-screen our clients.  We are not looking for people who want to TRY something else so that they can fail at it also.  We are only looking for clients that are ready to stop smoking NOW.

The stop smoking program offered by Turning Point Hypnotherapy consists of two (2) 1˝ hour personalized sessions.  In the first session, you will bring with you, 3 cigarettes.  We (really you) get to power smoke the 3 cigarettes and then we work on the reason(s) why you smoke and the triggers involved.  We will use a combination of tools to assist you in the transition from a smoker to a person who is tobacco free.  At the end of the first session, you leave the office tobacco free.  The second session is usually scheduled approximately 2 weeks later.  In the second session we take care of any issues that may have popped up (eating, etc.) and to reinforce you being a non-smoker.  

You can be smoke free now!
