Hi There,

I: How does your program work and why is it so effective?

S: We combine 75 years of experience with powerful hypnosis therapies together with the relatively new behavioral science of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. This combination assists smokers to make rapid changes within their subconscious mind, where all their habit patterns, obstacles and blocks are located.

I: You are using some relatively uncommon words here, so what is hypnosis exactly? And what is the “neuro-linguistic programming” you mentioned?


S: Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we all drift into and out of each and every day. We enter what is called the “alpha” brainwave, which is a relaxed state of mind. We can direct this state of mind to make changes as it is a doorway into the subconscious part of the mind. As I mentioned the subconscious mind is where our habit patterns, and blocks are located.

Neuro-Linguistic Programming or NLP is a relatively new behavioral science that was developed starting about 40 years ago. You may have heard of Tony Robbins? He uses it to assist people to make rapid changes in their lives. It is a process of communication, where we can tune into the language style a person uses to help them overcome their smoking habit and anchor in more empowering feelings.

I: What is your guarantee and how can you afford to offer a guarantee?


S: Our guarantee is rather unique because most smoking cessation programs do not offer a guarantee. Our guarantee is this: if you ever start smoking again, you can just come back in. There was a study done in the UK, following 1,000 Stop Smoking in One Hour clients and 96.3 of them stopped smoking and stay stopped after 18 months. Due to this fantastic success rate most people quit on the first session. I want to be sure that my client stays stopped. After all, this is one of the most important things someone can do for their health, so I stick with them if they get into trouble. Let’s face it, sometimes we trick ourselves.

An critical component of the guarantee  is that my clients want to stop smoking. There is a very important interview process to determine the motivation of the candidate. I can’t make someone do what they don’t really want to do. However, combined with motivation this program is very effective in getting people to do what they do want to do and that is, to be free from smoking once and for all.

I: Can anyone be hypnotized?

S: People ask me this all the time and sometimes even tell me, “I can’t be hypnotized.” The truth is, everyone of normal intelligence or better is hypnotizable. If you can fall asleep at night and wake up in the morning, you are already going right through the state of hypnosis naturally. In fact, it happens several times a day to everyone. It is a very natural state.


I: How many people have you helped quit smoking?

S: I personally have worked with around 100 smoking clients and my colleagues and associates have helped 10′s of thousands of people to stop smoking successfully with this program all over the world.


I: What is the cost of your program?


S: People ask me this all the time. To get a true picture of the value of this program, we first have to look at the true cost of smoking. Most smokers complain about the cost of smoking and yea, $3 – $5 for a pack a day smoker is a lot of money every month, around $125 per month. The cost isn’t expected to go down either, in fact, most likely the cost of cigarettes will continue to go up.


The real cost, however, is much higher. Duke University did a study adding up all the costs involved with smoking that non-smokers don’t pay. For example, smokers miss more work due to illness, medical costs are higher, more doctor visits and prescriptions, time wasted, dental issues, burned clothes, dry cleaning, and more. According to the Duke University Study, the true cost of a “pack-a-day” smoking habit is $40 per pack. That is $1,240 per month or over $14,000 a year.


Also, 1 out of 2 smokers will die from a smoking related disease and those who don’t on average lose 14 years off their life. How can you calculate that?


I have charged as much as $500 for my program, and many of my colleagues charge that and more. But right now, until the end of the year, I have lowered my price to $295. That will change after the 1st of the year.


Most smokers also don’t realize that using hypnosis to stop smoking is a tax deductible event. That information is on my site. There is absolutely no reason not to make an appointment and be done with that horrible smoking habit. Financially speaking, it makes more sense to quit.


I: What would you suggest to someone who wants to quit smoking on their own?


S: Well, the truth is most smokers quit on their own, but there is a percentage of the smoking population that need help to quit. Just like some of us need help for over eating, depression or any other challenge. Let’s face it we all have challenges. For those who want to attempt to stop smoking on their own, I would suggest that first they make a solid decision. There is a lot of power in a decision and that decision is that no matter what, they won’t smoke. Things are going to come up and you just have to decide that no matter what feelings or situations come up, you’re not going to smoke.

Some other tips are to drink a lot of water, to breathe deeply and eat healthy. Take good care of yourself and remind yourself how good it feels to be a non-smoker, because it does feel good to finally be free.


I: If someone wants to schedule an appointment with you or get more information, how would they do that?


S: The best way to schedule an appointment is to call my office and leave a message and we’ll get back to you. There’s a ton of information on my site: http://www.cahypnosiscenter.com about the stop smoking in one hour program. There are also statistics, testimonials and some valuable tax incentives that makes it even more desirable to quit using hypnosis.
