The Chemicals in Cigarette Smoke
Below, you'll see a list of some of the chemicals contained in cigarette smoke. For ease of reference, we've listed some of the cancer causing chemicals and metals separately.

Are You Looking to Stop Smoking?
Well, you have three options here:
1) You can come to one of our hypnotherapy practices, to have a one-to-one hypnotherapy session with Paul Douglass, Avon Hypnotherapy's stop smoking specialist.
2) If you are in the UK, but too far away to come to one of our practice locations, use our find a therapist service, and we'll help you to find a stop smoking hypnotherapist in your area.
3) You can download our mp3 stop smoking hypnotherapy session. Due for release in March 2008, the stop smoking download can be pre-ordered now, and you'll receive details of how to download your hypnosis session on the day it's released.
