Quit Smokeless Tobacco With NLP CDs

If you think smokeless tobacco is "up to snuff" and safe, think again. Whatever you call it - spitting, dipping or chewing - it is every bit as hazardous as smoking. Many medical researchers believe more so because users are unaware of the dangers. Cancers of the mouth, lips, tongue and throat can swiftly progress in people who use smokeless tobacco and leave debilitating and grotesque - even lethal - results.

Regardless of the painful and dangerous consequences of smokeless tobacco, quitting with usual methods is very challenging. Many people believe the reason lies in nicotine, a natural, super toxic element found in tobacco that is the plant's protection to prevent being eaten by bugs. Looking at equal amounts, nicotine is more lethal than snake venom or strychnine, and three times more lethal than arsenic.

When dipping, the nicotine travels to the brain in less than 10 seconds, where it generates a flood of dopamine, resulting in a soothing feeling. Nicotine also promotes adrenaline production, so it both calms and energizes. However, the emotional component of smokeless tobacco addiction is much stronger and produces far more obstacles to quitting smokeless tobacco than nicotine.

Many users took their first chew as young as nine years old. In just a few months, using smokeless tobacco becomes an ingrained habit that produces reliable stress relief. In addition to the psychological conditioning, a social conditioning takes place, as images of many athletes dipping also attract young users.

Understanding that there are individual emotional and physical reasons that play a role in a chewing habit makes it easier to develop a plan to prevail smokeless tobacco addiction. Let's examine each element individually and look at effective methods to curb them.

Dipping for Relaxation and Pleasure: Just like using a pacifier to appease a fretful child, over the course of time, people who use tobacco products start to associate putting an object in their mouths with relaxation and satisfaction. Curbing the effects of tobacco usage means addressing all facets of the addiction.

Dipping Tobacco is a Conditioned Response: The classic illustration of a conditioned response relates to Pavlov and his dogs, which were trained to anticipate food - and thus began salivating - after a bell was rung. In accordance, if, for example, you always chew tobacco after each meal, you will consequently develop a craving to chew when you are done eating.

In your mind, the images of pushing the plate away and laying down your napkin may be connected to using snuff, even if you are not conscious of it. Developing awareness of the situations or trigger images can help you conquer cravings.

The Physical Addiction to Nicotine, But … : In spite of the powerful addiction, doctors say that the physical part of nicotine addiction is quelled after people quit using tobacco for a week. It's my strong belief that nicotine addiction comprises a mere 10 percent of smokeless tobacco dependency. As such, 90 percent of the fight to quit dipping involves overcoming the mental and emotional components. So what does this mean for people like you who want to quit?

Quitting becomes much more feasible if you can:

A. Address and remove the anxiety and tension that compels you to use smokeless tobacco
B. Cancel the conditioned responses to chew in specific situations

But how does a person defeat those issues?

Self-hypnosis offers a way to address the psychological and emotional components of the addiction while reducing impediments, which will eliminate the withdrawal symptoms. When we understand how self-hypnosis works, it makes the decision to quit dipping much easier to undertake.

When people dip for relaxation and pleasure, it's to soothe anxious feelings. People often play the same images over in their minds, like a bad video, which leaves them feeling very stressed. With self-hypnosis and different Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques, you retrain your brain to immediately and naturally stop stress-inducing images and substitute them with soothing images and mental movies. This creates relaxation and satisfaction while eliminating cravings and oral compulsions. You shake the impulse to put the chew in your mouth, and you won't get any desire to substitute food in its place. This subdues weight gain.

To combat the conditioned response of chewing smokeless tobacco, the NLP Flash technique erases the associations of dipping during certain activities or situations. This means your subconscious will no longer trigger the craving. Further, the Flash can even be used to create a compulsion to reject smokeless tobacco.

Employing specific and strategic NLP methods makes the decision to stop dipping easy and painless by circumventing withdrawal symptoms, cravings and weight gain. The process is dependent on retraining the unconscious mind to adhere to the same thought patterns that produce your mental addiction to smokeless tobacco in the first place, to eliminate the compulsion.

Your brain is a powerful instrument—far more powerful than an addiction. With steadfastness and the help of self-hypnosis and NLP, you can quit smokeless tobacco forever.
