In the first three parts of this article series, we demand discussed how the reasons a living soul started smoking at an at cock crow age helped to build the spiritual Smoking Mechanism. This physicalism begins to operate beyond deliberate control because the smoker has hunger since forgotten why they started smoking. The sooner part of the process to do away with smoking is to use special techniques to call to mind these early reasons. The patronize part of the process is to appraise and remove the reasons a being continues to smoke. In this article, we when one pleases discuss why smokers snub the serious health consequences of smoking.
What Would You Do? You've been smoking for done with 25 years. Your shelter has been a smoker for down 40 years. She calls you on the phone one day and says she's been diagnosed with lung cancer. You be on the watch your mother go to the dogs and a few months later, she passes away. As a smoker, what would you do? If you are like a shopper of mine, you'd keep set to rights on smoking!
How Could This Be?
If you are hint at of the 76% of the population who are nonsmokers, you possibly think this is shocking. How could a person see what cigarettes did to their mother and persist in to use them? It's the yet reason that people fool a hard time totally quitting cigarettes:
The Subconscious Smoking Mechanism
This agency is created in most people prior to the age of 18. The average age is approximately 15 although some people start smoking equivalent earlier. It is no accident that smoking starts during the control of puberty and the identity turning-point. The identity crisis is an unpleasant term of childhood where there is shambles of self. The person is not a lad, but not an adult either. They battle to define themselves. Due to hull and hormonal changes, teens is an incredibly intense aeon of a person's life. The whole shebang is amplified. Emotions are obstinate and the world view is appease that of a child being exaggerated all out of match. The child wants to hurry up the process to be declared an full-grown. Smoking is an undertake to resolve the identity disaster. It is a way to declare, "Hey, I am an grown-up!" Adults smoke, hence, I am an adult!
Overcoming this mortification and ambiguity is of critical worth; it is a strong motivator for the inexperienced person. It is what gets them to solicit the incredible WILL POWER required to turn off the normal assembly, protective reactions to brutish, hot smoke entering their discerning lungs. The particulars that learning to smoke is a austere, unpleasant task makes the unfledged person more strongly stick up for it. They have numerous reasons why they Have on the agenda c trick to smoke. Any positive feedback they get from their friends adds to the power of the cerebral smoking mechanism. By the temporarily adolescence is over and adulthood is reached, the device is on autopilot. It continues to converge reasons for itself to obtain. It operates independently of the alert self.
The Variety of the Psychological Smoking Means
The cerebral smoking mechanism is frozen backwards in childhood with all the unsophistication and shortsightedness of the child. The emotions and magic view of the child circumscribe the mechanism. Children participate in a limited view of mortality. They hold trouble conceiving of themselves being harmed or in extremis. This is why there are assorted teenage driving accidents. The uncut topic of smoking is controlled by the mental smoking mechanism. When you try to talk over the topic of smoking with a smoker, you are dealing with the 15 year old laddie, not the adult. This is why troublesome to have a rational scrutiny about the dangers of smoking doesn't get sheer far. The 15 year old youngster doesn't believe the haleness issues. The 15 year old youth believes that smoking is an impressive part of their sustenance. They NEED smoking. It is something to be protected. When the dangers of smoking are discussed, you sooner a be wearing them symbolically with fingers in the ears and a chorus of La, La, La, La, I can't catch you.
A Real Life Example
My patient, Bonnie Ryan, has graciously consented to beget her story presented as an norm of how the psychological smoking process overrides the adult rational mind. It was Bonnie's female parent who died of lung cancer and yet, she refused to forsake. It was too important to her. Not far from nine years after her look after's death, Bonnie started having some problems with her lungs. It was no more than at this point she determined that she needed to rest smoking. However, she indeed didn't want to forsake. Bonnie writes: "After smoking for 35 years, my trim was deteriorating and I knew it was time to barter up smoking. Emotionally, I grieved at the end of losing what I gained from smoking, and I was convinced that I gained a lot. Since my mom smoked through my youth, I could not even take it being smoke-let go for the first time in my living." You'll notice that she grieved at the tenet of giving up smoking. It was like something identical basic and sacred was being entranced from her. Something that she NEEDED!
She of process, had heard all the health dangers of smoking on top of the years but like most smokers, tuned them out. She had convinced herself how effective smoking was to her well being. Watching her natural waste away and die of lung cancer was under no circumstances associated with her own smoking. It wasn't until she herself started having fitness problems, that she consciously made the settling to quit. It was not her grieving at the steadfastness to give up cigarettes, it was her philosophical smoking mechanism she began to shape at the age of 15. A mechanism made by and of the emotions of a offspring, viewing the world of smoking as a 15 year old and not in any degree changing its perspective. A juvenile mechanism always ignoring the damaging effects of smoking and constantly looking for rationalizations to keep up smoking.
The Mechanism Has to Go
The solitary way a person can remove cigarettes from their duration is to disassemble the psychological smoking appliance. This is accomplished by identifying and removing the reasons a living soul started smoking and the reasons they remain to smoke. When this is done, the himself becomes, not an ex-smoker, but a nonsmoker.
Removing the subliminal smoking mechanism puts the particular back in conscious handle with all the perceptions and attributes they as adults, charm. They no longer compel ought to to fight against the illogic of the offspring mechanism they created. They no longer be dressed conflict when their well-organized adult perceptions are overruled by the shortsighted, illogic of the adolescent created Psychological Smoking Method.
When the approach is gone, so is smoking, eternally. There are special techniques that necessity to be used and the smoker has to seat some time and creation. With the right intellectual tools, the incredible power of the obliterate can be redirected back to purposive control and the childish Mental Smoking Mechanism removed. When you Unlearn Smoking your process goes back to the heyday before you started smoking and the society's normal defense mechanicalism against harsh, hot smoke in your precarious lungs begins to situation again. Smoking becomes aversive proper like it was with the start cigarette. At this burden, you won't be motivated to put out the tremendous toil required to turn them burdening someone off! You have become a NONsmoker.

Health
This is the area where the brainwashing is the greatest. Smokers think they are aware of the health risks. They are not.
Even in my case, when I was expecting my head to explode any moment and honestly believed I was prepared to accept the consequences, I was still kidding myself, If in those days 1 had taken a cigarette out of the packet and a red bleeper started to sound, followed by a warning voice saying, 'OK, Allen, this is the one! Fortunately you do get a warning, and this is it. Up to now you have got away with it, hut if you smoke another cigarette your head will explode,' do you think I would have lit that cigarette?
If you are in doubt about the answer, just try walking up to a main road with busy traffic, stand on the kerb with your eyes closed and try to imagine you have the choice of either stopping smoking or walking blindfolded across the road before taking your next cigarette.
There is no doubt what your choice would be. I had been doing what every smoker does all his smoking life: closing my mind and keeping my head in the sand, hoping that I would wake up one morning and just not want to smoke any more. Smokers cannot allow themselves to think of the health risks. If they do, even the illusion of enjoying the 'habit' goes.
This explains why the shock treatment used by the media on National No-Smoking Days is so ineffective. It is only non-smokers who can bring themselves to watch. It also explains why smokers, recalling Uncle Fred who smoked forty a day and lived until he was eighty, will ignore the thousands of people who are brought down in their prime because of this poisonous weed.
About six times a week I have the following conversation with smokers (usually the younger ones):
MEL Why do you want to stop? SMOKER: I can't afford it.
ME: Aren't you worried about the health risks.
SMOKER: No, I could step under a bus tomorrow.
ME: Would you deliberately step under a bus Smoker: of course not.
ME: Do you not bother to look left and right when you cross the road? Smoker: Of course I do.
Exactly. The smoker goes to a lot of trouble not to step under a bus, and the odds are hundreds of thousands to one against it happening. Yet the smoker risks the near certainty of being crippled by the weed and appears to be completely oblivious to the risks. Such is the power of the brainwashing.
I remember one famous British golfer who wouldn't go on the American circuit because he was afraid of flying. Yet he would chain-smoke round the golf course. Isn't it strange that, if we felt there was the slightest fault in an airplane, we wouldn't go up in it, even though the risks are hundreds of thousands to one against death, yet we take a one-in- four certainty with the cigarette and are apparently oblivious to it. And what does the smoker get out of it?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Another common myth about smoking is the smoker's cough. Many of the younger people who come to see me are not worried about their health because they do not cough. The true facts are just the reverse. A cough is one of nature's fail-safe methods of dispelling foreign matter from the lungs.
The cough itself is not a disease; it is just a symptom. When smokers cough it is because their lungs are trying to dispel cancer-triggering tars and poisons. When they do not cough those tars and poisons remain in their lungs, and that is when they cause cancer. Smokers tend to avoid exercise and get into the habit of shallow breathing in order not to cough. I used to believe that my permanent smokers' cough would kill me. By expelling much of the filth from my lungs, it possibly saved my life.
Just think of it this way. If you had a nice car and allowed it to rust without doing anything about it, that would be pretty stupid, as it would soon be a heap of rust and would not carry you about.
However, that would not be the end of the world; it is only a question of money and you could always buy a new one. Your body is the vehicle that carries you through life. We al! say that our health is our most valued asset. How true that is, as sick millionaires will tell you. Most of us can look back at some illness or accident in our lives when we prayed to get better. (HOW SOON WE FORGET.) By being a smoker you are not only letting rust get in and doing nothing about it; you are systematically destroying the vehicle you need to go through life, and you only get one.
Wise up. You don't have to do it, and remember: it is doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR YOU.
Just for a moment take your head out of the sand and ask yourself, if you knew for certain that the next cigarette would he the one to trigger off cancer in your body, whether you would actually smoke it. Forget the disease (it is difficult to imagine it), but imagine you have to go to the Royal Marsden to suffer those awful tests - radium treatment, etc. Now you are not planning the rest of your life. You are planning your death. What is going to happen to your family and loved ones, your plans and dreams?
I often see the people that it happens to. They didn't, think it would happen to them either, and the worst thing about it isn't the disease itself but the knowledge they have brought it on themselves. All our lives as smokers we are saying, ‘I’ll stop tomorrow.' Try to imagine how those people feel who 'hit the button'. For them the brainwashing is ended. They then see the 'habit' as it really is and spend the remainder of their lives thinking, 'Why did I kid myself I needed to smoke? If only I had the chance to go back!'
Stop kidding yourself. You have the chance. It's a chain reaction. If you smoke the next cigarette, it will lead to the next one and the next. It's already happening to you.
At the beginning of the book I promised you no shock treatment. If you have already decided you are going to stop smoking, this isn't shock treatment for you. If you are still in doubt, skip the remainder of this chapter and come back to it when you have read the rest of the book.
Volumes of statistics have already been written about the damage that cigarettes can cause to the smoker's health. The trouble is that until the smoker decides to stop he doesn't want to know. Even the government health warning is a waste of time because the smoker puts blinkers on, and if he inadvertently reads it, the first thing he does is light up a cigarette.
Smokers tend to think of the health hazard as a hit-and- miss affair, like stepping on a mine. Get it into your head: it is already happening, Every time you puff on a cigarette you are breathing cancertriggering tars into your lungs, and cancer is by no means the worst of the killer diseases that cigarettes cause or contribute to. They are also a powerful contributory cause of heart disease, arteriosclerosis, emphysema, angina, thrombosis, chronic bronchitis and asthma.
Even in my case, when I was expecting my head to explode any moment and honestly believed I was prepared to accept the consequences, I was still kidding myself, If in those days 1 had taken a cigarette out of the packet and a red bleeper started to sound, followed by a warning voice saying, 'OK, Allen, this is the one!
