Stop smoking - just how? If one has only fallen into the blue haze, the will alone is not enough.

We are introducing a new method that could help you become a non-smoker.

Anyone who wants to quit smoking, not only has to fight with nicotine addiction. It is much more difficult to give up the habit that has literally burned itself into the brain with hundreds of thousands of cigarette packets. This is exactly where the health psychologist Dr. Ursula Grohs with her "Psychodynamic Model Training" (PDM).

PDM is based on auto-suggestion and is currently the only psychological method with the highest rating "A" from the World Health Organization (WHO). Since December 2011, there is the special non-smoking program also in book form.

With her six-week program "Effortlessly Smokeless", the author sends the reader on four short 20-minute fantasy journeys, whenever he feels the need for relaxation. With the help of happy inner pictures, he should learn to recall positive emotions anytime, anywhere. A must-have item: a fragrance bottle with a cinnamon, orange and lemon fragrance and low glycemic index (GLYX) food.

What should this serve? The regular sniffing on the special scent mixture should activate the psychodynamic training experiences and stimulate the release of endorphins. In this way, any craving for a cigarette should effortlessly "dissipate" and help stop smoking. The foods with low GLYX are said to help maintain weight after smoking cessation.

Sounds all very well, but the program has in our opinion a small catch: You have to be the type of man who likes to go on fantasy trips. Otherwise, it could happen accidentally that one rather attacks the cigarette instead of the scent bottle.
