Why do smokers believe, smoking is pleasurable?
Because something is missing without smoking. If a smoker is not smoking, he slowly gets the feeling he needs a cigarette. This feeling is annoying. To get rid off it is a pleasure. Nonsmokers don’t need cigarettes, because they don’t have this annoying feeling. Ex-smokers don’t have it either.
Why do smokers think smoking belongs to drinking coffee?
It doesn’t. 79 percent of all people are able to drink their coffee without smoking a cigarette. By smoking three “coffee-cigarettes” a day you train your brain to the combination of coffee & cigarettes about a thousand times a year. Whatever we do over and over again we think of as normal.
Why is it easy to quit smoking?
Because the physical feeling “I want to smoke” is already reduced by 50% after twelve hours. Smokers recognize this often, when they smoke their first cigarette of the day: this first cigarette often tastes good and bad at the same time—a sign that the nerve cells already got used to a nonsmoking existence in just 12 hours. The feeling “I want to smoke” is so weak it won’t even wake up a smoker—and in the morning it’s almost gone. Now use the right psychological info for the next few days—which we’ll teach you—and you’ll be free. Free of cigarettes!
Why do some ex-smokers suffer?
Because they don’t know that they don’t have to abandon something. In the sense of a self-fulfilling prophecy they create physical emotions, which are altogether easy vegetative perceptions—tiredness, lack of appetite, anxiety. These emotions are only created by a mental attitude, just like getting Goosebumps when thinking of “Fingernails across a chalkboard”. If all of these symptoms were withdrawal symptoms, they would be shared by all smokers. But that’s not the case. Most of the ex-smokers don’t suffer. What’s helpful here is the psychological information you will gain in the seminar.
Don’t I gain weight?
No. The line “Smoking keeps you slim” is a marketing lie of the public relations-strategist Edward Bernays, who, in the 1950s wanted to convince women to smoke. If that would be right every smoker would be more slender than a non-smoker. But the truth is: based on their chronic lack of oxygen smokers don’t burn nutrients as well as nonsmokers. If you quit smoking you don’t have to become fat: as soon as you understand how smoking works, you know how to keep your weight. The seminar points out the traps, which you then can avoid falling into.
Why do some smokers believe smoking is a cultural thing?
Because cultures traditionally combine substances with ritual functions: bread and wine, water, incense—or smoking. Creating a cultural meaning is an artificial construction in the head, which will fade with time. Nowadays no one ever would think of a spittoon or a bedpan as a cultural thing, and in the future maybe even ashtrays will only be displayed in museums.
Why is smoking not sexy?
Because, among other things, smoking causes impotency and breast cancer. The line that smoking is sexy is a marketing lie of the tobacco commercials. Unsexy people don’t become sexy just because they smoke.
Why is smoking not cool?
Because a non-cool person doesn’t become cool just because he or she smokes. Even cool stars are hooked. Many of them convert their addiction into a stylistic feature and they smoke on stage. This way they don’t have to hide it.
Does the showing of smokers’ lungs make any sense in prevention?
No. Many kids, teenagers and adults are not interested in the fact that they will become sick in later years. They want to discover life now and therefore are willing to take risks. They know that smoking causes disease and illness—but they start nevertheless. We support a change of paradigm in prevention and rather explain the strategy of the mechanisms that smoking is based on. The result is that people keep their hands off cigarettes as soon as they understand how the trap works.
