The Benefits of Stopping Smoking

I am writing a little differently on this blog, but I just feel compelled to make note of something. We talk about the health benefits of not smoking, and there are many, but we don’t often calculate the savings of hard earned cash. So I wanted to pass on something that is quite amazing to me.

A husband and wife came to me nearly two years ago. Both smoked a pack of cigarettes a day and both stopped smoking using hypnosis. Naturally they were both delighted, as was I, though not surprised as I had seen hundreds of clients stop smoking using the power of their subconscious
mind.

They recently contacted me and invited me to their home for lunch, which was lovely. However, the shock for me came when the wife told me how much – to the cent – they had saved by not smoking for just two years.
It was a staggering $8,854.42 per person – a total of $17,704.74! She sent me a chart showing exactly how many days hours and minutes since her last cigarette and the savings. This has since been updated and they are close to $20,000 now!

She was enthusiastically telling how much better she felt health-wise too, but it was the actual saving in dollars that was the surprise to me. They have saved that money to put towards buying a house, but my thoughts went to all the other things one could do with it, a couple of wonderful vacations for a start.

There just is no upside to smoking, it only begins when you stop. GOOD HEALTH IS FREEDOM!
