$6.10 per carton tax, February 5, 2009

As he has promised to sign an unprecedented $6.10 per carton cigarette tax into law our president who smoked a pack a day up until the campaign skirted the issue if he is or is not a non smoker yesterday.

When asked "have you smoked since coming to the White house"? Obama stated, "I have not smoked on the White House Grounds".

Then he gave a cute little smile like when your doctor asks how much you smoke and you cut it in half. He stated it is hard to quit and the reporter gave him an out by saying "I won't push on this". Obama laughed again and end of topic.

Now Obama will have FREE healthcare for the rest of his life as all presidents do and have lived very long lives becasue of it. Should we not be told the truth if our president legally smokes cigarettes so that smokers can call him on it when he overtaxes us. I bet it is a running joke already at the White house with the secret service.

Lead a drama-free life is the way to go

I'm sure you know someone or perhaps you are a person who has a lot of drama in your life. Whether it's work drama, family drama, relationship drama, or friendship drama, it can take a toll on you mentally and physically.

The important thing to keep in mind is to remind yourself to step back when you feel drama entering your life. Realize that you can remove yourself from many situations. Don't let people put you in the middle of things and make sure you keep out of other people's business.

Lead a drama-free life is the way to go. Drama creates stress and we all want to reduce the amount of stress we have in our lives. If you describe yourself as a drama magnet, then I encourage you to take time out of your day for yourself. It is important for you focus on the peace within you instead of focusing on the drama around you.

EWAN MCGREGOR - MCGREGOR FINDS QUALITY OF LIFE AS AN EX-SMOKER

Movie star EWAN MCGREGOR has a better quality of life now he has quit smoking because he no longer has to hunt for cigarettes, ashtrays and lighters before he can sit and relax.

EWAN MCGREGOR , the Scottish actor quit just over a year ago with the help of hypnotherapy and now he can't believe he had so many problems giving up in the past.He says, "The idea of life without cigarettes is terrifying but it's so much better... and it's so easy - you just don't smoke."I found the most annoying thing about cigarettes - apart from the fact that they give you emphysema and cancer and it makes you stink and not have any money, and you have to stand outside in the snow, and all of those things - is that you couldn't do anything without them."I couldn't stand the fact that I couldn't just sit down - I'd have to go and find my cigarettes and, 'Where's my ashtray and my lighter?' I'd always be looking for things... Now I can just sit down."And MCGregor insists that, if he can quit, anyone can: "I did it as a second profession; I used to act and smoke."

HYPNOSIS HELPS TO STOP SMOKING, LOSE WEIGHT, REDUCE STRESS

HYPNOSIS HELPS TO STOP SMOKING, LOSE WEIGHT, REDUCE STRESS

by Cara Gallucci, M.A., C.Ht., Certified Hypnotist


Imagine you have, on a kitchen counter in front of you, a bright yellow lemon. Now, picture cutting the lemon in half. Lift one piece to your nose and sniff. Do you notice how the acrid scent makes your nostrils tingle? Now imagine biting into the cut surface of the lemon. If you are like most people, by now your lips have puckered and your mouth has filled with saliva simply from imagining the tart juice. Congratulations! You have just hypnotized yourself.

This classic exercise shows just how easy—and powerful—hypnosis can be. It produces physical and emotional effects, so the applications are extensive. My practice focuses on helping people to lose weight, stop smoking, relieve stress and pain, and enhance performance in athletics, test-taking, or other demanding situations.

Addressing stress is a big part of many hypnosis programs. Why do we hold onto bad habits like smoking? Why do we continue to eat foods we know are not right for us? It almost always comes down to stress relief. There is some sort of emotional comfort or feeling of release we get. Some clients tell me that they are afraid to quit or that they don’t want to be disappointed by yet another weight loss program. Yet these same people marvel at the feeling of relaxation and self-confidence they experience with hypnosis. When Cathi Doherty quit smoking, she said, “I feel extremely in control and determined in a very relaxed way. I would recommend hypnosis for anyone that really would like to get rid of this demon.” Clients learn to develop new resources so that it becomes easier to behave differently. As another former smoker, Gary Rousey, shared: “I feel really at peace inside. Truth is, I would have spent $1,000 to feel this good!”

Hypnosis is a natural, enjoyable state of mind. We experience hypnosis daily, even with our eyes open—while driving, watching TV, daydreaming. Hypnotists emphasize that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. The person being hypnotized chooses to cooperate with the process. It’s a myth that a hypnotist can take over a person’s will. Instead, hypnosis is a powerful way to strengthen a decision to change, empowering you to do what you are willing to do.

If all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, why bother with a hypnotist? For one thing, a good hypnotist is like your favorite coach, helping you develop the skills you need to achieve peak results. Although hypnosis is a natural state, it must be properly directed. In daily life, people can be hypnotized into negative behavior by fear, shame, and other painful emotions. Context and intention make the difference in benefiting from this natural tendency of the mind to go into hypnosis.

For another thing, here’s a fascinating secret to the science of mind power: 1 + 1 does NOT equal 2. It’s actually 1 + 1 = 22 or 4. Having someone help you hold and direct the energy of your intentions intensifies that energy to fuel change. When you work with a skilled hypnotist, you amplify the power of your own abilities.
