49. I developed Pleurisy right after I stopped
smoking?
More than likely, you’ve already had the problem. You probably were already experiencing chest problems and by stopping smoking and allowing oxygen to get in and move the hairs about caused the problem to surface. Now you can focus on getting the problem treated. If you have not already, please consult your doctor. Pleurisy (PLOOR-iss-ee) is caused by swelling and irritation of the membrane that surrounds the lungs. It is usually a symptom of another illness. It is also called Pleuritic Chest Pain.
50. I developed nosebleeds after I stopped smoking.
It is common after you give up smoking to experience this. The most common cause of nosebleeds is dryness. As a former smoker, the membrane in the nose became very dry and crusty. As your lungs begin to clear out and the mucus flows, it may appear that your nose is bleeding. As with any condition, if the condition persists, consult your doctor.
51. I have the desire to taste a cigarette so much.
As your taste and smell increases, your desire to taste a cigarette will decrease. Focus on the positive - isn’t it nice to experience fresh breath.

From the first session, you may add a few extra energy points for weight control and advise the client that we can begin a weight control Program approximately a week to 10 days after stopping.
53. Why do I have nightmares?
As your body begins the detox process and the nicotine leaves the body, it may cause nightmares.

Yes, second hand cigarette smoke gets trapped in their nasal passages, increasing chances of nasal cancer. Animals who are around smokers have a 60% greater risk of developing lung cancer than those who are not exposed to second hand smoke
55. Does the addiction to the patch or nicotine gum
take more treatments? Why?
Yes, usually because the client has already reduced the nicotine intake and changed the routine. They disbelieve they’re still addicted and require more guidance to escape nicotine.
56. What about marijuana? Does treatment have the
same effect on marijuana smokers as it does on
cigarette smokers?
Yes, the treatment is very effective also for marijuana smokers, providing they want to stop.
57. What do I say to a client who smokes as normal
after the first treatment and does not want to continue
the Program?
You need to re-evaluate if client is ready to stop smoking. They obviously are not committed to the Program and may choose to restart at another time. It would not be an option to give to give them their money back.
