Quit Smoking
Everyone I’ve ever met who has permanently quit smoking has done
so with the help of NLP and/or hypnosis. Most chemical methods to
stop smoking simply help you resist the strong temptation to light up
another cigarette. Hypnosis and NLP work much better because they
makes the thought of another cigarette unbearable. NLP and hypno-
sis can make you simply not want another cigarette.
In the truest sense, smoking becomes undesirable to the point
where you would decline a cigarette even if it was magically 100%
cancer-free. There is no temptation to overcome - just a switch back
to your original mindset before you started smoking in the first place.The trick is that you need to be determined to quit smoking. If you’re slightly indifferent about quit-
ting, it’s not going to work. This isn’t to be confused with being too addicted to quit; it’s about wheth-
er or not you actually WANT to stop smoking. Ask yourself this question: do you want to stop feeling
the need to smoke cigarettes? If the answer is yes, then you can make it happen.
You’re fighting a war with a parasite called nicotine. This nicotine parasite has been winning the battles
so far. But you can win the war, because the battlefield is your body and you are the master of your
body. Your mind can change everything! Your mind can make your body a hostile environment for
nicotine. Your mind can turn every cell in your body into an anti-nicotine minefield. Your mind is the
super-weapon that ends the war.
You mind is the key. Most people who I know permanently quit smoking (including my partner Becky)
used the techniques detailed in the book The Easy Way to Stop Smoking by Allen Carr. This book em-
beds NLP techniques that are designed to completely rewire your brain into disliking cigarettes. This
is why it is so successful! I use slightly alternative NLP techniques in the following four steps to quit
smoking:
Step One: Set a Negative Anchor
Think about all the times you’ve wanted to quit smoking. In this case, take three specific instances
when you strongly wished you didn’t smoke. It could be social occasions, pleas from parents or loved
ones, times you’ve felt sick or unhealthy due to cigarette use, or the smell of your breath after a night
of smoking.
