How To Kick Chewing Tobacco With NLP CDs

If you think smokeless tobacco is "up to snuff" and safe, think again. Whatever it is called - chewing, dipping or spitting - it is every bit as dangerous as smoking. A lot of doctors judge more so because people are not as aware of the risks. Cancers of the mouth, lips, tongue and throat can quickly grow in people who use smokeless tobacco and cause grotesque and debilitating - even lethal - results.

Even with the painful and dangerous consequences of smokeless tobacco, quitting with traditional ways remains very challenging. A lot of people believe the reason lies in nicotine, a natural, super toxic chemical found in tobacco that is the plant's defense to prevent being eaten by insects. Judging equal quantities, nicotine is more lethal than strychnine or snake venom, and three times deadlier than arsenic.

When dipping, the nicotine makes its way to the brain in under 10 seconds, where it produces a flood of dopamine, resulting in a soothing sensation. Nicotine also promotes adrenaline production, so it both calms and energizes. However, the mental part of smokeless tobacco addiction is much stronger and leads to far more impediments to quitting smokeless tobacco than nicotine.

A lot of users took their first chew as early as nine years old. In just a few months, using smokeless tobacco becomes an ingrained habit that delivers reliable stress relief. In addition to the psychological conditioning, a social conditioning takes place, as images of many athletes dipping also attract young users.

Knowing that there are individual emotional and physical issues that play a role in a chewing habit makes it easier to create a plan to overcome smokeless tobacco addiction. Let's look at each component separately and look at effective methods to curb them.

Dipping for Relaxation and Pleasure: Just like using a pacifier to soothe an anxious child, over time, people who use tobacco products start to associate putting something in their mouths with relaxation and satisfaction. Curbing the effects of tobacco usage involves addressing all components of the addiction.

Dipping Tobacco is a Conditioned Response: The classic case in point of a conditioned response relates to Pavlov and his dogs, which were trained to anticipate food - and thus began salivating - after a bell was rung. In accordance, if, for example, you always use chewing tobacco after each meal, you will consequently have a desire to chew when you finish eating.

In your mind, the images of pushing the plate away and laying down your napkin may be linked to using snuff, even if you are not conscious of it. Becoming aware of the situations or trigger images can help you conquer cravings.

The Physical Addiction to Nicotine, But … : In spite of the intense addiction, doctors maintain that the physical part of nicotine addiction is broken after people quit using tobacco for seven days. It's my strong belief that nicotine addiction comprises a scant 10 percent of smokeless tobacco dependency. As such, 90 percent of the battle to quit dipping involves overcoming the emotional and mental components. So what does this mean for people like you who want to quit?

Quitting becomes much more feasible if you are able to:

A. Deal with and remove the anxiety and tension that compels you to use smokeless tobacco
B. Cancel the conditioned responses to chew in specific situations

But how does a person defeat those issues?

Self-hypnosis offers a way to address the psychological and emotional components of the addiction while reducing difficulties, which will eliminate the withdrawal symptoms. When we understand how self-hypnosis works, it makes the decision to quit dipping much easier to take on.

When people dip for relaxation and pleasure, it's to calm feelings of stress. People often play the same images over in their heads, like a bad film, which leaves them feeling tense and anxious. With hypnosis and different Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques, you retrain your brain to instantaneously and automatically prohibit stress-inducing images and trade them with soothing ideas and mental movies. This generates relaxation and satisfaction while eradicating cravings and oral compulsions. You elude the craving to put the chew in your mouth, and you do not get any desire to substitute food in its place. This subdues weight gain.

To battle the conditioned response of dipping smokeless tobacco, the NLP Flash technique removes the associations of dipping during certain activities or situations. This means your subconscious won't trigger the compulsion. Further, the Flash can even be used to create a compulsion to deny smokeless tobacco.

Employing specific and strategic NLP techniques makes the decision to stop dipping smokeless effortless and painless by circumventing withdrawal symptoms, cravings and weight gain. The process involves training the unconscious mind to follow the same thought patterns that create your mental addiction to smokeless tobacco in the first place, to eliminate the habit.

Your brain is a powerful tool—far more powerful than an addiction. With commitment and the aid of self-hypnosis and NLP, you can quit smokeless tobacco forever.

If you think dipping tobacco is safe, think again. Many doctors judge it is more dangerous because people are unaware of the threats. If you are ready to stop dipping, help has arrived.
