Corporate Stop Smoking Programmes
Helping Employees to Stop Smoking - Why Bother?

Treatment
Recent advances in bio-energetic technology now mean that for the first time we can provide a stop smoking service for staff at your premises, with each employee taking an average of 1.25 to 1.5 hours. This is a good time to consider implementing a corporate stop smoking programme, before the new workplace smoking legislation comes into effect during 2007.
The stop smoking treatment is successful because it uses a comprehensive programme which addresses both the physical and emotional factors that make it difficult to stop smoking.
Physical Addiction
Each smoke inhalation introduces thousands of chemicals into the body including one of the most physically addictive substances, nicotine. This first stage of the treatment reprogrammes the body down to cell level, to no longer recognise the elctromagnetic signature of nicotine and to initiate the elimination of cigarette toxins from the body. A booster is provided to each employee on the second day (an additional 24 minutes).
Psychological Dependence
This stage is designed to eliminate those destructive
emotions that can sabotage intentions to stop smoking.
The stop smoking treatment is successful because
it uses a comprehensive 3-stage programme, which addresses
both the physical and emotional factors that make it
difficult to stop smoking.
