The Symonds Method

Is it possible to quit smoking easily and quickly – without nicotine, drugs, hypnosis, scare tactics or gimmicks?

The answer is a definite yes – if you go about it in the right way.

It’s easy to stop smoking. You do it many times every day (unless you’re a chain-smoker) – but only until you want the next cigarette.

The hard bit is staying stopped. Or so it may seem.

Almost all other quit smoking methods expect you to do this by willpower. But if you don’t want to smoke anymore you won’t need willpower!

Dr Symonds won’t tell you why you ought to quit – the health risks, cost, etc. – because these are things you already know.

Instead, you will be helped to demonstrate to yourself why you really smoke, as opposed to why you think you smoke.

It’s essential to understand this. It’s not enough for smokers to say, for example, that they smoke for pleasure or stress relief or because they’re addicted to nicotine.

Smoking is indeed to do with nicotine addiction, but smokers need to understand how this produces an apparently irresistible urge to go on smoking.

With this knowledge and the right kind of support, it’s usually a simple step to successful quitting.
