years

3. The reason I say a non-
smoker again is that everyone
was born a non-smoker!

Many kinds of Cancer including lungs, throat,
gums, stomach, intestinal, skin
Emphysema

Smokers invariably die a slow and agonising
death.
The Real Risks Smokers Face

11. What I mostly hear from clients is that they
started in their teens.
One client started in her twenties.
A lucky few remain “social smokers” i.e. They
only smoke at parties or special occasions.
But as you know, smoking is becoming less and
less socially acceptable.
When Did You Start?

12. Health conscious people are becoming more aware
of the damage even second hand smoke causes and
the toxins that exude from a smoker’s pores.
One grandmother I consulted told me that her
daughter won’t let her near the grandchildren
because of this!
This poor woman absolutely wreaked of stale
smoke, nicotine and tar odour.
There is a Backlash!

13. There is a lot of direct and indirect support
when you decide to quit!
The government consistently runs Quit Now
campaigns.
Then there is the indirect Social Support
because clubs, pubs, restaurants, cafes and
workplaces are smoke free.
You are Supported

14. Why Did You Start to Smoke?

15. These are the most common reasons from my clients:
•My friends were smoking
•I wanted to be part of the group
•I thought it was cool at the time
•I thought it made me look more grown up
•I was influenced by the advertising
•Why did YOU start to smoke?
Why Did You Start to Smoke?

16. •Are those friends still smoking?
•Are you still part of that group?
•Knowing what you know about smoking now, do
you think it’s still cool?
•Now there is no more cigarette advertising, how
can you be influenced by it?
•Why do you continue to smoke?
Now Ask Yourself

17. Who can tell me about withdrawals?
If withdrawals were a result of body’s lack of nicotine,
then NRT should prevent withdrawals, isn’t that so?
So why do so many people keep smoking even when they
take lozenges, gums or patches etc ...?
I’ve had clients come for Hypnotherapy who have used
Champix and still didn’t stop!
Smoking is a habit... A nervous habit.
Withdrawals

18. When you first learned to drive you had to consciously think:
 Put key in ignition, turn key, put the car into gear, click on the
indicator, check rear vision mirror, press the gas pedal, then
pull out on to the road and accelerate.
Now that you have driven for years there’s hardly any need to
consciously be aware of each step.
You get in the car, start it, check rear vision and go! You
hardly think about it because it has become an unconscious
process.
Nervous Habit – What?

19. Firstly many of you were probably nervous or
excited
You possibly had to be taught how to light the
cigarette, you know, it won’t light just by holding the
flame to it, you have to draw on the cigarette.
Once it’s lit you draw and inhale.
There’s ten to fifteen draws per cigarette.
The average 20 a day smoker does this repetitive
action anything up to 300 times a day.
The First Time You
Started Smoking

20. Just like driving a car the habit becomes
ingrained in your unconscious mind
Unfortunately many people get nervous, shaky,
irritable, short tempered or agitated when they
don’t have a cigarette.
Therefore it is a NERVOUS HABIT and
withdrawals are psychological!
The Habit Becomes Ingrained
Into Your Unconscious Mind !!!

21. Your Unconscious Mind

22. Is the part of your mind that you’re not aware of
right now
It’ associated with the part of your brain that
keeps you breathing, keeps your heart beating and
regulates bodily functions.
The PRIME DIRECTIVE of your UNCONSCIOUS
mind is to PROTECT you and keep you feeling
good.
Your Unconscious Mind

23. The Prime Directive is Unconscious!
If you accidentally place your hand on a hot
stove element the hand automatically recoils.
There is no thinking process involved , no
internal dialogue – “oh, this is very hot, it’s
burning me, I’d better take my hand off.”
Understanding the Prime
Directive

24. When you had your first draw on a
cigarette you probably coughed. The
coughing was unconscious, a reflex
action, your body wanted to expel the
smoke and protect you from damage.
However you persisted and created a
tolerance.
Understanding the Prime
Directive

25. Then you persisted. You developed
and established your smoking habit.
Your unconscious mind became
tricked to prompt or urge you to have
a cigarette because you didn’t feel
“good” until you had one.
Your Unconscious Mind

26. What Smokers Lungs Look Like

27. Everyone was born a non-smoker.
Then you taught yourself to smoke. You
persisted until the habit was established.
The good news is that you can now use your
persistence to become a non-smoker again and
to remain a non-smoker, breathing fresh air
for the rest of your life.
The Benefit of Persistence

28. All you have to do now is decide that you will be a
non-smoker again
Hypnotherapy will help you commit to your decision.
Hypnotherapy will help to make you feel good about
your decision.
Hypnotherapy will help you to remain a non-smoker
for life
Hypnotherapy will help your unconscious mind to
reset and maintain the prime directive.
Hypnotherapy and the Prime
Directive

30. “I’m getting on really well and haven’t needed the patches and handle any thoughts about
cigarettes really well. This is the best I’ve felt about quitting so thank you.” Brittany – Bondi
” I had stopped smoking previously but kept starting again. After one session with Alfred I
now know I will never start again” Peter–Coogee
“My husband and I were both smokers, he was worse than me. I could stop if there were no
cigarettes around, but he would go and buy some then I would smoke again too. We decided
to invest in our health and both had hypnotherapy. It was the best investment we ever
made.” Alana – Wisemans Ferry
“No matter how determined I was, every time I went for drinks with the boys, I would light
up again and feel rotten the next day. Alfred was able to help me break through this
pattern” Alex – Bondi
“I went to Alfred for his knowledge and skills to help me stop smoking. Every step of the
process was challenging for me but with Alfred’s great help and his ability to keep me
involved was inspiring. I was impressed with his knowledge, sensitivity and
professionalism. The best part of all this I am now a non-smoker and only breathe fresh
air!”
