How do I get someone to stop smoking?
How can I tell someone to stop smoking? She knows all the facts (it gives you cancer, emphysema, etc.), but she is young, so she still has that invincible mentality. What can I tell her about smoking’s cosmetic effects that will make her consider quitting? (besides the usual stains your teeth and your hands)
Thanks!
You cant MAKE someone stop smoking if they don’t want to. If she knows all the facts about what smoking can do to you then she is definitely addicted. The most effective way of stopping smoking is through multiple sessions of hypnotherapy. This process deals with the physical aspects of the addiction and the psychological aspects. Most stop smoking techniques don’t tackle the psychology which is why they are so ineffective. Willpower alone is about 4% successful, nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum etc) are about 5% successful, multi session hypnotherapy can be up to 85% successful.
Hypnotherapy is only worth doing if your friend really wants to stop, its pointless doing it if she doesn’t want to stop.
