There are three main ways in which you will benefit by becoming a happy, healthy, relaxed, confident non-smoker and these are quite simply as follows: You will Save your Health. You will Save Time. You will Save Money.

The benefits you will notice within a few weeks of giving up are:

• your hair, skin and breath no longer smell of tobacco smoke
• your breathing is easier
• your sense of taste and smell improve
• you'll see a reduction in phlegm and smoker's cough
• your lung efficiency starts to recover to a rate similar to a non-smoker
• you will be better able to cope with physical exertion
• you'll feel positive about yourself for having stopped
• and of course, you will have saved money through not buying cigarettes

What are the Health benefit when you quit smoking?

People who quit, regardless of age, live longer than people who continue to
smoke. Smokers who quit before age 50 have half the risk of dying in the next 15 years compared with those who continue to smoke. Quitting smoking substantially decreases the risk of cancer of the lung, larynx, pharynx, oesophagus, mouth, pancreas, bladder, and cervix. Benefits of quitting include risk reduction for other major diseases including coronary heart disease, lung diseases, and cardiovascular disease.

Every year, 120,000 smokers in the UK die as a result of their habit. Smoking causes thirty per cent of all cancer deaths (including at least 80% of lung cancer deaths), 17% of all heart disease deaths and at least 80% of deaths from bronchitis and emphysema. It is estimated that between 25 and 30 per cent of all cancers in developed countries are tobacco-related. From the results of studies conducted in Europe, Japan and North America, between 83 and 92 per cent of lung cancers in men, and between 57 and 80 per cent of lung cancers in women, are attributable to cigarette smoking. Between 80 and 90 per cent of cancers arising in the oesophagus, larynx and oral cavity are related to the effects of tobacco.

There is now strong evidence of the adverse health consequences of
passive smoking. The risk of lung cancer is increased in non-smoking women who have husbands who smoke tobacco. There also appears to be an increased risk of myocardial infarction due to exposure to other peoples smoke and the adverse health consequences in children whose parents smoke includes an increase in the frequency and severity of asthma. New studies include your pets in the list of those adversely affected by second hand smoke.

Tobacco can kill in many different ways including causes such as lung cancer and other forms of cancer, heart disease, strokes and chronic bronchitis and other respiratory diseases. Smokers have three times the death rate in middle age (between the ages of 35 and 69) than non-smokers and about half of regular cigarette smokers will eventually be killed by their habit.
Many of these are not particularly heavy smokers but they can be characterised by having started smoking while a teenager. Half of the deaths from tobacco will take place in middle age (35-64) and each will lose approximately 20-25 years of non-smokers life expectancy: the remaining half of the deaths will take place after the age of 70. However, there is clear and consistent evidence that stopping smoking before having cancer or some other serious disease avoids most of the later excess risk of death from tobacco even if smoking stops in middle age.

What are the Time benefits of stopping smoking?

A two pack, 40 a day smoker spends around one million 460,000 minutes of their lifetime smoking. That’s equivalent to 24,320 hours or indeed 1,000 days!

Most people who give up smoking can, on average increase their life span by at least five years, and don’t forget those will be five happier, healthier and more relaxed years, during which you will have far more money available to spend on the good things in life!

So in most all cases by becoming a non smoker you will have added around five years to your life span, add to that the five years you would have wasted whilst actually smoking the cigarettes and you will have gained TEN EXTRA YEARS OF HEALTH, HAPPINESS & FREEDOM!

Best of all you can become a happy, healthy, relaxed non smoker within just two sessions which takes only two hour of your most valuable time!

What are the financial benefits?

The current cost of the Quit Smoking treatment starts from as little as £100 per person when booking a small group of four, or just £150 for an individual booking, making it by far the best financial investment you will ever make.

Consider this, place £150 into a bank or building society account for a year and at current interest rates you would be lucky if you made a few pounds for the year on your original investment.

However take this same £150 and invest it into yourself by way of becoming a non-smoker and in around one month you will have recouped your original investment and you will then continue to profit for the rest of your life!

That means that in the same one year period, your investment of £150, would by becoming a non-smoker have made you around 1,400%+ Tax Free return by way of the money you will save in one year by not buying Cigarettes!

No other form of investment can bring you such a large financial return for such a low investment in such a short space of time, and don’t forget you keep on saving money and thereby getting a huge return on your original investment of £150 for the rest of your life!
