Hypnotherapy Nottingham

For people wanting to stop smoking, hypnosis is one of the most popular ways to help people quit. This is probably because of the kind of results you get through using hypnosis to quit smoking.  We have found here at Hypnotherapy Nottingham that hypnosis gets great results in a short space of time.

Most people that have used me for “stop smoking hypnosis”  go on and recommend it to family, friends and even work colleges. In fact a week seldom go’s by without receiving calls from people wanting to make an appointment for hypnosis smoking help.

This is one of the area’s I am personally interested in as I used to be a smoker. In fact I was a 40 a day smoker…………….was being the keyword. I used hypnosis to stop smoking, in fact I used self hypnosis to stop smoking through hypnosis and I am very proud to say I haven’t touched a cigarette since.

Whether you smoke 40 a day or 4 a day, stop smoking with hypnosis can really help you. Just like it has all the other people that have come to me for help with hypnosis to stop smoking and just like it helped me.

Here is what the NHS say about stopping smoking.

If you are waiting for an operation it is very important that you stop smoking as soon as possible.

Smoking greatly increases the risk of complications during and after surgery. Some operations aren’t even an option for smokers.

Smokers are far more likely to have anaesthesia-related complications If you smoke 10 cigarettes a day you have six times more risk of postoperative breathing problems. This risk increases the more you smoke and the longer you have smoked.

There are several reasons for this:

Smokers need more anaesthesia for any sort of surgery.

Anaesthesia helps to reduce spasms and coughing during and after an operation. The tar in tobacco smoke constantly irritates the lungs and this gives a higher risk of anaesthesia-related complications.

Smokers have a higher chance of chest infections after surgery.

Smoking paralyses the little hairs (cilia) that help to clean out your lungs. The mucus in smokers’ lungs is contaminated with tar and other poisons from tobacco smoke. After anaesthesia it is very important for all patients to clear mucus out of the lungs. Even non-smokers are at risk of post-op pneumonia if the lungs do not clear the mucus. But the risk for smokers is much greater as the lungs are unable to clean themselves. The poisons in tobacco smoke build up and cause a higher risk of chest infections.

Smokers spend longer in the recovery room and need extra oxygen.

All patients go to the recovery room after an operation until they are considered stable enough to return to the ward.

Smokers need longer in the recovery room before they stabilise. All smokers are at risk. Light smokers spend just as long recovering as heavy smokers do, so cutting down is not an option. After anaesthesia the blood is unable to supply enough oxygen to the body and most patients are given

extra oxygen in the recovery room. The carbon monoxide in tobacco smoke robs the blood of oxygen so smokers need more oxygen therapy for longer. Some smokers continue on oxygen even after they leave the recovery room and return to the ward.

Smoking can delay your recovery and the wounds are slower to heal.

Whether caused by surgery, injury or disease, smokers’ wounds heal much slower than non-smokers do.

Smokers have less oxygenated blood to help wound healing.

Healing is helped by plenty of oxygen in the blood reaching the wound. Nicotine in tobacco smoke makes the blood vessels tighten and this reduces the amount of oxygenated blood reaching the wound. Carbon monoxide in smoke robs the blood of oxygen, which delays healing.

If you stop smoking 6 months before an operation you can reduce your risks of post-operative lung complications to the same as those for someone who has never smoked.

Even stopping smoking 2 weeks or even 24 — 48 hours before an operation can decrease some of the risks. Carbon monoxide and nicotine are cleared from the body in a matter of days and this helps to improve healing and recovery.
