Computerized statistical analysis of the satisfied clients' referral rates indicate that our non-smoking program is totally effective in 80% to 85% of all participants after just one session.

• 8% to 10% of the participants require one additional booster treatment.
• 5% to 8% require periodic reinforcement (6 months to 1 year intervals, as needed. These tend to be individuals with a stronger than average physical addiction to the chemical nicotine).
• Only 2% to 3% find our program to be minimally effective.

Thousands of individuals have visited us and walked away from our office a NON-SMOKER even after many unsuccessful attempts to quit through other means.

We deal with all three components involved in smoking – the habit, physical addiction and any emotional attachments to the behavior. These will vary in individuals and are reflected in the above statistics.

Nicotine in cigarettes displaces certain neurotransmitters (i.e. acetylcholine) throughout the body and brain. With the physical addiction to nicotine, the habitual smoker builds up a tolerance and then a dependency upon nicotine. After a time, the addicted smoker needs to smoke just to feel normal. Addiction to nicotine causes an excessive buildup of acetylcholine in the brain. When a smoker stops "cold turkey", the sudden and then continued release of this built-up acetylcholine contributes to the withdrawal symptoms of nervousness, irritability, cold sweats, trouble sleeping, trouble concentrating, cravings, etc. Importantly, nicotine is only one of nearly 100 toxic poisons in cigarettes. Other poisons include: cyanide, arsenic, DDT, formaldehyde, carbon monoxide, etc. A drop of nicotine is potent enough to kill instantly; the smoker is constantly taking in tiny doses. When a smoker inhales, blood pressure goes up, capillaries constrict, acid is released in the stomach, and, at one pack a day, the smoker cuts off as much as 10% of the overall oxygen intake to the body. Smoking often makes a person more nervous and edgy, because of the delayed stimulation and pumping of adrenaline, which usually occurs as the cigarette is being extinguished.

Former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop labeled nicotine and cigarettes "more addictive than heroin and the worst addiction in the United States."
