'Hypnotherapy is is the most effective way of giving up smoking' New Scientist (Vol 136 1845 p6 31st October 1992)
Research comparing many different studies of hypnotherapy has shown that on average smokers are over five times more likely to break the habit with hypnosis than by willpower alone. Hypnotherapy in general is also proven to be more than twice as effective compared to nicotine gum.
Ingredients of Cigarette Smoke
The ingredients of cigarette smoke are usually divided into three broad categories as follows. Most smokers know that tobacco contains the poison nicotine, but may not be able to tell you anything else about it.
1. Nicotine
Nicotine is the main 'addictive' ingredient in cigarettes. Nicotine is an insecticide! In the tobacco plant it's natural function is to repel pests. in the human body nicotine acts as a powerful neurotoxin, artificially stimulating the nervous system.
Nicotine is a deadly toxin. Two drops of pure nicotine on the tongue would be more than enough to kill a full grown man
2. Carbon Monoxide.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) is an invisible odourless and tasteless toxic gas. It is created when any organic based substances including tobacco and paper are burned. CO partially starves the body of oxygen causing shortness of breath
3 Tobacco Tar
This Yellow - brown tar is a cocktail of different chemicals. Some of these may surprise you: arsenic, cyanide, formaldehde (used to preserve organs), ammonia (used in disinfectants), cadmium (the poisonous metal used in batteries), acetone (nail polish remover)
The average smoker absorbs half a litre of tar into their lungs each year.
