For Dallas "Mothers To Be" More Reasons to Stop Smoking with Hypnosis.

“If women didn’t already have enough reasons to quit smoking before pregnancy, here’s a big one: Smoking during pregnancy may set their child up for blood vessel damage, a new study shows.

“Dutch scientists enrolled more than 250 children. When the children were 4 weeks old, their body dimensions and lung function were measured. At the same time, their parents completed questionnaires about such factors as smoking during pregnancy.

“When the children were 5, the researchers used ultrasound to measure the thickness and flexibility of their carotid arteries, large blood vessels in the neck that supply blood to the brain. They also collected updated smoking information from their parents.

“The walls of the carotid arteries in 5-year-olds whose mothers had smoked throughout pregnancy were about 19 microns thicker -- about one to two times the thickness of a piece of cassette tape -- and 15% stiffer than those whose mothers had not smoked.”

Even with this information, it can still be difficult for a smoking mother (or anyone in the family) to stop because so far the cigarette represents a type of pay off that is stronger than the rationale to stop. The mother may have the desire to quit, but the desire to continue is stronger, see related article here.

If you would like to talk about your frustration with the rational decisions to quit and the inability to make that happen, please call me. It is not your lack of willpower, it is the inability for the subconscious mind to carry out our conscious intent.
