Smoking Facts

We all know that quitting smoking is the right thing to do but we also know that it’s far easier said than done. Did you know that two thirds of all smokers who want to give up can’t? Once the hooks are into you, I know, from first-hand experience, that they’re hard to remove. I offer my hypnotherapy for smoking in Chester, Liverpool and Colwyn Bay to help you quit for good. Are you considering quitting? I find that, if you want to make that conscious decision and take those first steps toward a freer you, it always helps to look at the facts.

  • At current prices, a person smoking 20 cigarettes a day could spend up to £245,000 (based on smoking for an average of 56 years at £12 per pack of 20) on the habit during their lifetime. At 20 a day, you have to earn over £5,600 before tax a year to pay for your habit. What else could you do with that £5,600?
  • More people die from smoking than from breast cancer, AIDS, traffic accidents and drug addiction added together.
