The New Way to Quit Smoking

I have a stop-smoking program that you never tried before. I have a completely new idea of HOW to quit smoking that will make perfect sense to you. I know the secret to why you've had trouble quitting and staying off cigarettes in the past. As a mater of fact, I have the answer to any question you ever asked yourself about why you couldn't quit smoking and stay off the weed. The secret? Smoking is a behavioral problem first.

Hello. I'm Paul S. Palmer, Director of the Palmer Smoking Clinic, serving Chicago-land since 1976. Before you try to quit again, you need to know about a different approach to quitting that has been the best kept secret for over thirty years.

What's different about my program?

Everything! Beginning with my belief that you are NOT the nicotine junky you thought you were. Nicotine is not the problem and I can prove it! Yes, you heard me right.

But, I'm addicted to nicotine!

That's what you have been told for 50 years. In fact, EVERY stop smoking program you have tried has promised to help you overcome your dependence on nicotine. A chemical that medical experts have said for over 20 years is out of your system in 72 hours.

What if nicotine wasn't the real problem when you are trying to quit? What if you were a behavior junky? What if a whopping big habit pattern was the problem? What if the difficulty in quitting was overcoming your years of practice and the hundreds of daily trips to the mouth? What if your cigarette was connected to your everyday events? Would that make a difference in HOW you quit? IT SURE WOULD!

Think HABIT. Not chemical.

I've believed for over thirty years that the key to quitting smoking was going after the habit and not just the nicotine. I also believed hypnosis was the best solution to solve your oversize habit problem. Both turned out to be true. I know it, but you'll need to be convinced and that's what these pages are all about. I want you to be smarter about how you quit, I want you to question everything you ever heard about nicotine addiction. I want you to realize the habit plays the major role in your difficulty quitting. Not because I said so but because I pointed out what you already knew about your own habit. My program isn't for dummies. I'm going to help you re-think everything you though you knew about your so-called smoking addiction. If you don't want your mind changed, this isn't the program for you. But, don't be scared, realizing what you already knew, won't hurt a bit. I promise.

Here is one example of why I don't think you are a nicotine addict.

For over forty years the smoker has been offered every method of getting the nicotine monkey off their back. You could get your nicotine fix from pills, patches, inhalers, candy and gum. You could taper down, cold turkey, endure vitamin injections in your face, receive laser beams, pop anti-depressants and opiate blockers or chew on toothpicks.

You may have tried all of the above and still found yourself nervous, crabby and eating like you had a tape worm. With all that help to overcome your nicotine dependence, why wasn't it easier to quit? How come you fell off the wagon so easily?

Answer: The problem obviously wasn't nicotine. Fact: Nicotine is a minor league chemical that can't possibly account for all the difficulty you encounter when you try to quit. For many more examples of why smoking is a behavioral problem you need to read The Full Story.

Hypnosis! Why Hypnosis?

Because, it's the only help you can get for your HABIT. As far back as you can remember, you have heard of hypnosis being used for cigarette smoking. There is a good reason. In every study that compared smoking cessation programs, hypnosis always came in number one. It's a tool that has been around for 150 years and still the most effective way to quit. If hypnosis is used properly! Meaning, on the habit.

Hypnosis and your supersized habit problem.

For over thirty years at the Palmer Smoking Clinic, I have used hypnosis to work on the hundreds of trips to the mouth each day and the thousands of smoking haunts the smoker develops during their smoking career. When you focus on the habit as your primary goal in quitting, smokers quit more easily and more comfortably than anything else they have tried, without weight gain or becoming a grouch. Important? To my clients it is.
Tip: When you pick a hypnotist, it's smart to look for someone with special expertise and knowledge in this area and over 30 years of experience wouldn't hurt either.

But I tried hypnosis.

My hypnosis program is completely different from other hypnosis programs. It was developed specifically to work on the habitual part of smoking. My session is an hour and a half and I take you through the hypnosis twice in that same session. My music program and subliminal messaging process is found nowhere else. If you are apprehensive or think you can't be hypnotized, you'll quickly find out there is nothing scary or difficult about my hypnosis process. Plus, for your protection and mine, all hypnosis sessions are digitally recorded.
Nobody else offers all that!

How successful is the program?

For decades my success rate has been over 90%, requiring between 1 and 3 sessions, with most clients needing only the first session to quit. A private, 1 1/2 hour, individual session at the clinic is the best bargain in town at $250.

What you won't find at the Palmer Smoking Clinic.

What you won't be subjected to are ugly lung stories or lectures on the demon weed, that's not my style. I'm an expert in hypnosis (see Palmer's Bio) that also happens to work with smokers, I'm not on a mission from God to preach the evils of tobacco. I've been in the stop-smoking business too long to offend my clientele that way. I've always believed smoking is a matter of choice and so is quitting, when you're ready, come see me.

Ready to quit? Call today.

Many of my clients didn't know anything about hypnosis and certainly never thought there was any controversy about smoking being more than a nicotine problem. That is why I offer so much information. Please take a few minutes to scan my pages. I know you'll be surprised, informed and convinced. The smarter you are about quitting, the easier it is to work with you.

I also work in many other areas of hypnosis (see Other Hypnosis Programs). I also make custom CD's for folks who don't live in the Chicago Il. area. If you have questions, would you please call me. Don't be shy, I'm the boss and I'll speak to you directly. That's Paul S. Palmer at 708-233-1111. If you are really shy, you can e-mail me too. But, I'm a little slow on that e-mail thing.
