Did
you know that after being smoke-free for one year your risk of heart
attack is half that of a smoker? And being smoke-free for 10
years that risk falls to the same as someone who has never
smoked. It is never too late to stop smoking. The benefits
actually begin as soon as eight hours after your last cigarette, when
the nicotine and carbon monoxide levels in your blood return to normal.
Once you decide to stop smoking, there are two things that must be overcome:
- Getting the nicotine out of your system - The nicotine will be out of
your system in four days or less. Not one client has told me that they
had a physical craving.
- Conquering
the habit - The subconscious mind is where all your habits are. By
working directly in the subconscious, any unwanted behavior can be
changed.
How
many times have you tried to quit smoking? Stop trying – I’ll help you
DO IT! This program is extremely successful. You too can become a
non-smoker. No more coughing, no more smell, no more standing outside
alone while your friends and family are inside a non-smoking facility.
Your energy levels will return to your former non-smoking levels. And
just think of how much money you will save by not buying cigarettes.
The average pack a day smoker spends $1825 on cigarettes in a year.
How much
time do you spend on cigarettes? It takes an average of 7 minutes
to smoke a cigarette. How many do you smoke a day? How much
time do you spend thinking about cigarettes? Thinking
about when you will get your next smoke break? Can you make it
through that long staff meeting? Thinking about if you have to
stop at the store on your way home or if you have enough cigarettes to
get you through until tomorrow morning. How nice would it be to
think about things you want to instead of things you have to?
If
you want to be a non-smoker by next week or offer group sessions to
your employees, call me and set up your free, no-obligation
consultation. I can help you save time, save money and save your
life.
Be
sure to check with your tax accountant because most smoking cessation
programs are tax deductible or eligible for reimbursement from your
Flexible Spending Account.
Of the 22 billion packs of cigarettes purchased in 1999, the CDC found
that $3.45 per pack was spent on medical care costs related to smoking,
and every pack purchased cost the economy $3.73 in lost productivity
because of premature death from smoking, totaling $7.18 per pack.
Overall, the economic cost of smoking equaled about $3,391 per smoker
per year. (From American Cancer Society website)
Smokers
take an average of nearly eight more sick days annually than their
non-smoking co-workers, accounting for 42% of all sick days taken.
