Use A Hypnotherapy CD To Quit The Smokeless Addiction

For many people around the world, smokeless tobacco is something they have tried, if not something used regularly. Most people associate smokeless tobacco with sports stars, and incorrectly believe that it is a safe alternative to smoking cigarettes. Unfortunately, this proves to be wrong, as smokeless tobacco has many ill effects.

A diverse range of people use this highly addictive substance and no one is safe, dependent on race, social status, or sex. The reasons for using smokeless tobacco vary widely from appetite control to generalized stress relief. And this epidemic is hurting the world. Targeting the world's future with the predominant users being only teens 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. Child use of smokeless tobacco is constantly on the rise, with some users starting when they are only 9 or 10.

Rural Caucasian teens have the highest risk of using smokeless tobacco, and if the teens live in a house with an adult user, their risk 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. Among the population of white male students, the average is about 1 user out of every 5 students.

But what are the effects of smokeless tobacco and what are the advantages and disadvantages of using it? On the plus side of course is "looking cool," and fitting in. It also causes an odd sensation in users by first relaxing them, through 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 to try to lose weight.

On the down side are serious consequences that make the reasons to chew look completely insubstantial. Use of smokeless tobacco causes a number of diseases, along with dental problems, bad breath, and of course the financial spending of the user to obtain smokeless tobacco. Most tobacco users using one can per day, over thirty years at current prices will spend up to $50,000 on chewing tobacco in their lifetime, assuming they survive their habit long enough.

There are no known cures for either the gastrointestinal or the oral cancers smokeless tobacco causes, and this may cost a fortune in treatment and sadly, perhaps funeral costs.

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

But how can one quit using smokeless tobacco products? Various products are available to help wean users off of snuff and chew, such as a product that uses the spearmint plant to mimic the tobacco without supplying the nicotine. And some success has come from receiving same shot that inhibits receptors in the body for smoking. But the best way to quit and permanently stay tobacco-free without withdrawal symptoms, stress, and weight gain is through a hypnosis program.

Hypnosis offers a two-fold attack to the systematic dipping or chewing reflex built up by your previous habits and lifestyle choices. It first attacks the emotional motivation for why you need a dipp, and then it works to end the mental habit itself.

First you'll want to consider the emotional reasons. Dopamine is a "feel good" chemical produced by your body and released by your brain to create a feeling of pleasure. In times of stress, the dopamine produces 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 a sense pleasure and relaxation. The very essence of hypnosis is relaxation, and hypnotherapy is superb for stress relief and relaxation.

Hypnosis also works to break the cycle of expectation that your mind creates. When you habitually put in a chew after dinner, your mind begins to tell your body that you need a chew after every dinner. By inhibiting or removing this thought process, you will not feel the need to pack your cheek after you pack your stomach.

By eliminating these two root causes of chewing tobacco use, hypnotherapy treatments can extinguish the urge to chew or dipp, ending your physical need for the extra dopamine release. Thus freeing you from this dangerous habit and offering a stress free method for stopping.

An average of 9.3% of all high school students in the United States use smokeless tobacco. Quitting smokeless tobacco is widely thought to be much harder than kicking the smoking habit. By far the largest part of the addiction to smokeless is the psychological addiction. However, new techniques in hypnosis for quitting smokeless tobacco are allowing addicts to kick the habit without suffering from withdrawal or weight gain.
