Chewing Tobacco? Use A Hypnosis CD To Quit The Addiction

For a large percentage of the world's population, smokeless tobacco is at least something they have tried, if not something used regularly.  Most people associate smokeless tobacco with sports stars, and falsely believe that it is a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes.  Unfortunately, this can all too often prove dead wrong.

A diverse range of people use this highly addictive substance and no one is safe, regardless of race, social status, or gender.  The reasons for using smokeless tobacco vary widely from appetite control to generalized stress relief.  This epidemic is harmful to the world.  Targeting the world's future with the primary users being only teenagers and in many cases preteens, it is an extremely harmful addiction.

The truth of the matter is that teen use of smokeless tobacco is a prominent problem enough that it is creating many lifelong users who suffer health problems and health risks that are just too great to be overlooked and too dangerous to be ignored. Adolescent use of smokeless tobacco is on the constant rise, with some users starting when they are only nine or ten.

Rural Caucasian teenagers have the highest risk of using smokeless tobacco, and if the teenagers live in a house with an adult user, their chances of also using smokeless tobacco rises dramatically.  In the U.S. among high school students grades 9-12, an average of 9.3% use smokeless tobacco.  In white male students, the average is about 1 user in 5 students.

But what are the effects of smokeless tobacco and what are the pros and cons of using it?  On the plus side of course is "looking cool," and possibly fitting in with one's peers.  It also causes an unusual sensation in users by first relaxing them, by the release of dopamine in the brain, and then exciting them with a release of adrenaline. It can also cause appetite suppression, which some users may abuse in an attempt to lose weight.

On the down side are consequences that make the reasons to chew look completely insubstantial.  Use of smokeless tobacco causes a number of diseases, along with tooth and gum problems, bad breath, and of course the financial spending of the user to supply tobacco products.  Most tobacco users with a can a day habit, over three decades at current prices will spend up to fifty thousand dollars on chewing tobacco, assuming they live that long. 

There are no known cures for either the gastrointestinal or the oral cancers smokeless tobacco brings, and this also can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical treatment and ultimately funeral expenses.

Quitting smokeless tobacco is widely thought to be much more challenging than quitting smoking. A part of the addiction is the great amount of nicotine absorbed by the body when dipping or chewing.  This amount is double that received from smoking a cigarette. 

But how can one quit using smokeless tobacco products?  Various products are on the market to help wean users off of snuff and chew, such as a product that uses spearmint to mimic the tobacco without supplying the nicotine.  And some success has been shown with the same shot that inhibits receptors for smoking.  But the best way to quit and permanently stay tobacco-free without withdrawal, stress, and weight gain is through hypnotherapy. 

A hypnosis program offers a two-fold attack to the habitual dipping or chewing reflex built up by your previous habits and lifestyle choices.  It first attacks the psychological motivation for why you desire a dipp, and then it works to end the mental habit itself.

First consider the emotional motivation for using tobacco products.  Dopamine is a "feel good" chemical produced in your body and released by your brain to create a feeling of pleasure.  In times of stress, dopamine can produce a general sensation of well being.  Some common occurrences of natural release include eating a large meal, or sexual relief. In other words, putting some chew into the mouth gives pleasure and relaxation. The very essence of hypnosis is relaxation, and self-hypnosis is superb for promoting stress relaxation and stress relief.

Additionally, hypnotherapy works to break the cycle of expectation that your mind creates.  When you chew tobacco after dinner, your mind begins to tell your body that you require a chew after every dinner.  By inhibiting or eliminating this thought process, you won't feel the urge to habitually use smokeless tobacco.

By attacking these two root causes of chewing tobacco use, hypnosis programs can eliminate the compulsion to dipp or chew, stopping your physical need for the extra dopamine release. Thus hypnotherapy works in releasing you from this lethal habit and provides a stress free method for stopping.
