Change for the Better
Would YOU like to look healthier, breathe easier, have more energy? Could YOU use an extra $1500 a year? Do YOU want to enjoy a longer life?
YOU can and WILL Quit Smart!
QuitSmart combines powerful treatments to help you break free from cigarettes. You will learn to:
- Ease off nicotine.
Gradually ease off nicotine by switching to cigarette brands that deliver less and less nicotine. We call this “warm chicken” quitting. It is superior to the cold turkey methods!
- Use your mind to help.
Shakespeare was right, “There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” From your first days off cigarettes, you will learn to think of yourself as a calm, comfortable, and happy nonsmoker.
- Use a hypnosis audiotape.
Hypnosis will help you relax and enjoy your new life as a nonsmoker. The tape is simple and effective. You remain in control at all times.
- Decide whether to use medication.
For some smokers, medication can double the chance of success. We will help you decide whether to use a nicotine-replacement product or one of the non-nicotine medications.
Break the habit of smoking.
Your smoking habit may be strong, but it is also dumb. You will learn simple ways to outsmart it.
QuitSmart™ Kit
You will receive the acclaimed QuitSmart Stop Smoking Kit. The kit includes an informative 96-page guide, a relaxing hypnosis audiotape, and a patented realistic cigarette substitute.
QuitSmart™ Works
QuitSmart was developed by Dr. Robert Shipley, the founding Director of the Duke Medical Center Stop Smoking Clinic, and the author of many books and scientific articles. QuitSmart is taught by health professionals who have been trained and certified by Dr. Shipley.
Over 20 years of research and practice, Dr. Shipley developed QuitSmart into a simple yet effective stop-smoking system. Every element of the QuitSmart system is based on solid research. In a study of 1470 smokers, QuitSmart was 2 1/2 times more effective than the Breathe Free ™ Stop Smoking Program. (Gilliam, RN, COHN – Presented at the American Occupational Health Conference, Atlanta)
