Giving up smoking or vaping is hard – and it’s something that so many smokers have tried and failed to achieve.
According to the National Centre for Smoking Cessation and Training, following a structured plan to quit is three times more likely to succeed – and this is just the kind of statistic we love at the Dr Jenni Clinic…
We’re delighted to offer a dedicated Stop Smoking and Vaping Service. Not only does it give you a dramatically increased chance of quitting, but you’ll start to feel the difference within as little as 48 hours.
Let’s Talk About Why Dr Jenni Loves a Quitter…
Firstly, let’s stress that, in similarity to all of our treatments, we tailor the service to your needs and fully support you along the way. Giving up smoking is a journey – and one that we’d be delighted to accompany you on.
Apart from the massive cardiovascular health advantages of quitting, let’s look at other benefits that you’ll quickly become aware of:
- 20 minutes after quitting: Your heart rate begins to lower and return to a lower resting rate.
- 8 hours after quitting: The oxygen level in your blood increases and carbon monoxide levels will have halved.
- 48 hours after quitting: All the carbon monoxide in the blood will have gone. The mucus in your lungs will be clearing and you may notice that your sense of smell and taste improve.
- 72 hours after quitting: The tiny airways in your lungs will have relaxed. This makes breathing easier and the transfer of oxygen within the lungs improves . This results in more oxygen being delivered to your body’s tissues, so don’t be surprised if you have more energy.
- From 2-12 weeks after quitting: Your circulation improves, energy continues to increase and muscle and tissue function continues to rejuvenate, thanks to better oxygenation.
- Months 3-9: Lung function will have improved by up to 10%. Wheezing, coughing and other respiratory symptoms will be reduced.
- After the first year: Your risk of having a heart attack will be half that of someone who smokes.
- After 5 years: Your risk of having a stroke will have dramatically reduced – in fact, it will now be the same as someone who’s never smoked.
- After 10 years: Your risk of lung cancer will be half that of a smoker.
Other benefits include improved bone health, less chance of developing stomach ulcers, improved fertility (for men) and a significantly reduced risk of a variety of other cancers.
These aren’t just isolated cases. Research proves that a massive 95% of ex-smokers experience positive change soon after quitting.
And let’s not forget the financial element. The cost of cigarettes and/or vapes is significant. With the average smoker going through a pack of 20 per day, this adds up to an eye watering £5,000 per year (and rising)! Just think of what you’ll be able to spend that money on when you’ve quit…
The Case for Quitting with The Doctor Jenni Clinic is Strong!
There are no negatives to giving up. But relying solely on willpower is the reason so many quitting attempts don’t work. The thing is, lighting up or vaping isn’t just about the nicotine hit – it’s equally about the physical act and actions of smoking.
Our smoking and vaping cessation service works with your body in two distinct ways. The first is to:
Understand your smoking habits and triggers: It might come as a surprise that we look at this first, rather than the reliance on nicotine. But, by having a deeper understanding of your smoking habits and triggers – many of which might be subconscious – we can start to unveil why any previous attempts to quit have been unsuccessful. Even more crucially, we can define what drives you – a vital step that truly raises the bar and upscales your chance of success.
Once we’ve got to the bottom of this, we can:
Address the nicotine dependance: This is done with a personalised plan that slowly reduces your reliance. This bespoke approach gradually weans you off without experiencing harsh cravings. But more than that, we provide other coping mechanisms – such as non-nicotine medication if appropriate, behavioural support and/or counselling if required, plus plenty of other tips and advice to get you through the first day, to the first week, month, year and beyond…
