OUR RUGBY HYPNOTHERAPY AFTERCARE

Sometimes, people come to us not to stop smoking but for smoking reduction. It’s a choice they make. We publish a book on reduction. It’s called, No, You Don’t Have to Stop Smoking. You might be interested to read some of it before you visit our Rugby hypnosis branch. Here is a small taster.

It will hardly come as a surprise to you that what I’m going to be talking about is the idea that people who definitely should not be smoking, but who are smoking, should be encouraged to smoke less, on the basis that it is far, very far, from ideal, but given the facts on the ground it is better than nothing.

I want to reiterate that none of the following should be thought to imply approval of smoking when there is a medical imperative not to, and let’s take a moment to consider another idea I have hinted at at various points in this book, which is that becoming a light smoker may, even unintentionally, become a first stage in stopping smoking, and what I say in this chapter should be read with that in mind too.
