Birmingham smokers urged to ‘swap fags for swag’ on 30th national No Smoking Day

March 8, 2013 - PRLog -- Birmingham smokers urged to ‘swap fags for swag’ on 30th national No Smoking Day

Thousands of smokers in Birmingham are being encouraged to ‘swap fags for swag’ and consider the financial benefits of quitting, this month on the 30th anniversary of No Smoking Day.

Nearly one in six UK adults but UK figures show two thirds want to quit .

This year smokers are being encouraged to focus on what they could afford to buy they were to quit for a day (saving £7), a week (£49), a month (£210) and a year (£2,555).

Birmingham Hypnotherapy Clinic will be offering £13 off their regular stop smoking price and reduced group session rates to help smokers ditch the cigarettes for good when you book by Wednesday 13 March – No Smoking Day.

No Smoking Day 2013 will officially launch on Wednesday 27 February giving smokers two weeks to get ready to quit on No Smoking Day itself, Wednesday 13 March 2013.

Georgios Theodorou from Birmingham Hypnotherapy Clinic said: “One of the biggest incentives for smokers to quit comes from considering the real amount of money they spend on cigarettes and thinking about what themselves and their family could afford if they were to give up for good. With the help of hypnosis they can do this much easier.  In fact, a US survey showed that on average hypnosis was more than three times as effective as nicotine replacement methods and 15 times as effective as trying to quit alone and an article in the New Scientist, in 2003, stated categorically that hypnosis is the most effective way to quit smoking

“By tallying up the exact amount of money that could be saved, smokers can work towards an actual goal – be it a new pair of shoes, a family trip to the cinema or a dream holiday.

“No Smoking Day provides the perfect opportunity for people to join hundreds of others in Birmingham and in the UK attempting to quit on the same day. This is why Birmingham Hypnotherapy Clinic efforts in spreading the word about the support available are so important, to help many make their first steps towards a healthier and wealthier, smoke free life.”

Birmingham Hypnotherapy clinic does this by using a variety of techniques to help you quit smoking including:

Effective cognitive dialogue during casual conversation
Increase your motivation and willpower to quit smoking
Discussing your goals and reasons behind your desire to quit smoking
A powerful hypnosis session which makes changes at a subconscious level

Birmingham Hypnotherapy Clinic is part of a network of organisations across the UK that manage local activities for the No Smoking Day campaign.

The annual health campaign, run by the British Heart Foundation, is now in its 30th year and helped more than 760,000 people quit smoking last year and inspired another 1.5 million to seek out information to help them quit in future.
