I\u2019m a biomedical engineer and a clinical hypnotist. I\u2019ve helped thousands of people stop smoking over the last twenty five years. I created this video series to help you become free of the habit an addiction of smoking cigarettes.<\/p>\n<p>Is smoking cigarettes a habit or an addiction? The short answer is: it is both. Many people who smoke cigarettes do not believe they are actually addicted and the reality is that they are. You are a social smoker, of course, if you can pick up a cigarette and smoke one, then not smoke one for another 2-3 weeks, then you are not addicted. But nicotine is clearly an addicted substance, and because the process of smoking is both a habit and an addiction, you have to address both in your process of <a href=\"https:\/\/josephgiove.com\/qso\/dir_quit_smoking_private_coach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quitting smoking<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A habit requires habit change; nicotine addiction requires detoxification. There are different approaches to an addiction versus a habit but because cigarette smoking is both you have to address both. The failures of other methods in particular nicotine replacements, the most trendy and popular ones now are E-cigarettes, perpetuate the addictive process. The addiction can trigger the habit; the habit can trigger the addiction. That is why in my practice almost everyone I see, and I mean 95{cb12661b2b7fd86e618703ac3a1bf5df9897d897450d7668a57e7745cc225577} of the people I see, have tried nicotine replacements and they are either still smoking or they have become addicted to the E-cigarette or the patch, the gum and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s be straight about what it is, address it: the process of smoking and the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/josephgiove.com\/qso\/dir_quit_smoking_private_coach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">quitting smoking<\/a> as both a habit and an addiction, and you will greatly improve your chances of becoming free forever.<\/p>\n<p>Take action now to be free.
