This article will consider the possible benefits of using stop smoking hypnosis packages for help with stopping, firstly though the numbers need a little more explanation. Around 20% of the adults in the UK, according to recent findings, are current smokers. this shows a marked decline from a high of 45% around 30 years ago. Performing so simple calculations shows; your desire to quit is shared by around 5.5 million others in the UK alone, never mind the rest of the world.
Sadly it is well known that most early attempts to stop fail. Additionally the most popular method chosen for the first attempt is 'cold turkey'. After failing the majority of smokers blamed their stressful lives for their failure to stop, sometimes not even lasting one day. Other reasons included poor commitment or an inability to cope with the cravings. Surveys tell us that between 5 - 10% only manage to quit the first time they try, around 1 person in 15.
Its clear that planning ahead is going to be much better than trying to stop on a sudden fancy and then failing as so many have before.
