DON’T STOP SMOKING…
…BecomE a non-smoker.
Since the day you started smoking, it has been suppressing your body’s wound-healing processes, meaning it takes longer to recover from physical injuries. It has been interfering with your brain and nervous system making you more susceptible to stress, anxiety, depression, and other psychological problems. Cigarettes have been pumping your lungs full of invisible, odourless, tasteless poison. Carbon monoxide gas drains your energy by preventing your blood from absorbing life-giving oxygen. Smoking is the leading, preventable cause of death in the developed world. The World Health Organisation (WHO) recently estimated that 8 million people currently die each year from smoking-related illnesses, and the number is still increasing. Smoking is associated with scores of different physical and psychological ailments.
THE SMOKE-STRESS CYCLE.
Taking a smoking break? It doesn’t work. Far from relaxing you, the stimulant effect of smoking keeps your heart rate about 10-15% higher than normal. You might as well bang your head on a wall to get rid of a headache.
Research shows that smokers are generally more anxious and stressed than non-smokers. When you stop smoking your mood improves and anxiety is reduced – both for those who suffer with depression and anxiety and also for those who have no mental health issues. The improvement in mood and anxiety from quitting is equivalent to taking antidepressants.

KIND WORDS (from a new non-smoker).
“Jen made me feel really comfortable, supported and right away trust in her guidance for this journey. I could tell she understands the experience and struggle, observing her own transformation and enthusiastic optimism was inspiring. Jen’s approach was tailored to my personal needs, and gently provided me with the tools to empower my sense of control and self-belief. This has truly been a game-changer, highly recommend!”
