(Point Pleasant Beach, NJ) Certified Hypnotist James Malone was disturbed when he recently discovered that Ocean County was ranked #3 on the list of Top 101 counties with the highest percentage of residents that smoked 100+ cigarettes in their lives at 58.4% and that presently 21.5% smoke.

This above the national average status of smokers translates to a higher rate of preventable illnesses that include:

-Lung cancer
-Cancers in other areas of the body
-Emphysema
-Heart disease

The Centers for Disease Control estimate that smoking “accounts for an estimated 443,000 deaths, or nearly one of every five deaths, each year in the United States”

“While these statistics are frightening,” states Malone, a certified hypnotist with 15 years experience, “its been my observation that fear is a poor motivator in the long run. It’s better to focus on the benefits of being a healthy non-smoker for life. These include more energy to better enjoy life, becoming cleaner and more attractive while saving significant amounts of money.”

Hypnosis is one method that can enable many people to let go of the habit. It addresses the subconscious mind directly, the part of the self which carries out habit patterns regardless of whether they are healthy or destructive. Smoking cessation clients are also coached in healthier methods of stress reduction.

James Malone is a certified hypnotist and self-help educator and offers private and small group programs for a wide variety of stress and empowerment related issues. He is also the author of a number of self-help books including Nine Hypnotic Tales and Calm Your Tinnitus: The Less You Fear It, The Less You Hear It.
