I’ve seen this around. These are free CDs but you have to pay US$5.50 postage to get them. Maybe I’m old fashioned but in my book, if you have to pay to get something then it is not free. The CDs and posting cost way less than $5.50 to produce so I can see where they make their profit.
I have no comment on whether or not they work. No. Wait! I do have a comment. They almost never work. I do know this, and you do too. Think it through. Smoking has been something of a curse for many people for decades. Many have tried repeatedly to give it up, only to start again feeling helpless and bad.
Governments and health agencies, as well as charities and other helpful types, not to mention businesses, have fought valiantly to find a solution. Because a simple effective way to stop smoking would help many people, and would be a real money spinner for the business types. And yet there’s no government programme to issue free stop smoking hypnosis CDs, even for $5.50. There are few who recommend them, and those who do are usually also selling them, so their objectivity is questionable.
If these kinds of CDs were really any good, by now my government would require them to be included with every pack of cigarettes.
That’s not to say that non-smoking hypnosis CDs never help, but if they do help, they do so in the context of a programme of interventions. If you want to give up smoking start with a medical professional, or in New Zealand call Quitline 0800 778 778 (www.quit.org.nz). Get real help if you need it. Or see a reputable practising hypnotherapist, with regular clinics, genuine credentials, and a known history of success. I.e., not a stage performer like me (Gerard V - Comedy Hypnotist), but one of my therapy oriented industry colleagues. Pick one with good professional affiliations if you can, or get your medical professional to recommend one.
And do give up smoking. It is really bad for you. Smells bad too.
