What a question!<\/p>\n

“Of course. \u00a0Yes.”<\/p>\n

“But, what if they smell of tobacco? \u00a0I find it very offensive. \u00a0And, besides, I don’t want my healing space reeking of smoke.”<\/p>\n

Well, I stick to my guns here. \u00a0Cigarette smoking is an addiction. \u00a0It is a disease. \u00a0You accept the client and offer assistance, support, guidance as \u00a0s\/he struggles to give up smoking.<\/p>\n

Encourage the person to cut down on the number of cigarettes smoked in a day. \u00a0If you can get him\/her to cut back to 5 or fewer cigarettes a day, the final push will be very easy.<\/p>\n

When people think of diseases smokers contract, \u00a0they always come up with the same usual suspects:<\/p>\n

lung cancer<\/p>\n

throat cancer<\/p>\n

COPD<\/p>\n

Emphysema.<\/p>\n

In reality, the diseases caused are many more and the health damage done is much greater.<\/p>\n

Smoking and exposure to second hand smoke is really hard on the immune system. Smoking ages the body faster. \u00a0This results in<\/p>\n

wrinkled skin<\/p>\n

clogged arteries<\/p>\n

emphysema<\/p>\n

cancer<\/p>\n

impotence.<\/p>\n

The most important reason for not smoking is what it does to the immune system. \u00a0Smoking wrecks the immune system causing it to become overactive. \u00a0And, the effects are often easily seen.<\/p>\n

It’s not necessary to see a person smoking to know you’re looking at a smoker. \u00a0It’s also not necessary to smell a smoker either.<\/p>\n

The effects of smoking can be seen in the skin, hair, nails, eyes, posture.<\/p>\n

The effects of smoking can be heard in the classic smoker’s cough.<\/p>\n

You cannot help your client partner stop smoking. \u00a0What you can do is help with the cravings and other discomfort while they go through the 5-6 week withdrawal process. \u00a0Reflexology for the Spirit, Reiki therapy, and encouragement can go a long way to support during this time.<\/p>\n

Help your client partner become dramatically healthier. \u00a0Nicotine patches are available. \u00a0CVS sells a smoking cessation program which helps.<\/p>\n

After the 6-week period, you can help your client partner do a cleanse and you can offer support choosing \u00a0a physical fitness program.<\/p>\n
