COLCHESTER QUIT SMOKING WITH HYPNOTHERAPY. IS SMOKING AN ADDICTION OR A HABIT?
You may have heard that smoking is more addictive than heroin.
But the definition of addiction is a little hazy. Surely true "addiction" means that your body cannot function without the drug? A heroin addict may suffer hallucinations, vomiting and seizures (even death) without the drug. Yet many quit smoking clients have said that they can sit on a 'plane for 12 hours without a cigarette because they "don't associate cigarettes with flying".
The good news is that association is NOT addiction.
Association happens when your mind links one thing with another - like having a cigarette when you feel bored, or when you take a break from work, or when you hear the 'phone ring. You don't have a physical "drug craving" when the 'phone rings - your mind just associates them and tells you that the two belong together. So having a cigarette at those times becomes a habit.
Hypnotherapy for quit smoking helps you to break these habits, and all the subconscious links to smoking, creates helpful replacement habits, and helps you feel great about being a non-smoker.
