Cost to your Business
Smoking kills over 120,000 people in the UK every year. Each cigarette contains over 4,000 chemicals including around 50 that cause cancer. We are all aware that smoking kills. What you may not be aware of is the financial cost to your business.
A 1996 Scottish research study concluded that in a workplace of 200 employees, with 69 smokers, the smoker’s cost £66,920 per annum at 1996 prices.
The figure took into account the lost productivity, increased sickness absence (smokers take on average 32.2%2 extra absence than their non-smoking colleagues), and the fire damage resulting from smoking at work.
Bringing these figures up to date allowing for inflation, each individual smoker in the UK costs his/her workplace £1,220 per annum.
Current national smoking rate in the UK is 22%
Therefore a workplace with a 200 staff with an average 44 smokers would lose £53,680 per annum
Is a Stop Smoking Programme the Answer?
Yes. 69% of smokers want to stop smoking. Therefore there is an opportunity to save 69% of £53,680 or just over £37,000pa for a company employing 200 people.
Stopping with will power has a less than 4% success rate, using nicotine replacement doubles this to 7%. Using Hypnotherapy, NLP & Acupressure techniques is over 10 times more effective.

The Stop Smoking at Work Programme
This half-day programme can be presented at your work place or my own premises in Chiswick Business Park.
It can accommodate groups up to 15 people.
Attendees should be committed to stopping smoking & ready to take responsibility for their success. While the programme makes stopping relatively easy, personal commitment is essential. To ensure success it is important that attendees limit alcohol for 2-3 weeks after the session & use the acupressure technique I teach them for managing potential cravings. Attendees who follow these guidelines have over a 80% chance of success.
The Stop Smoking at Work Programme
- Basic Biology of smoking – using NeuroLinguistic Programming (link) to develop shock & aversion
- De-programming all triggers & associations – breaking the neural networks that create autopilot behaviour that ends in lighting up
- Creating Alternative Strategies – positive alternative activity to develop new helpful neural networks free from cigarettes
- Acupressure technique to alleviate cravings – attendees are taught this powerful yet simple technique which can clear cravings in under a minute
- A live group Hypnotherapy session recorded on audio CD – to reinforce the changes at home
- Tips & advice as to what to expect over the coming days, weeks & months – to ensure that there are no surprises – being prepared instills great confidence
One session is usually sufficient to Stop Smoking for life from the day of the session.
Should any individual find that they are struggling or start smoking again, any time from 2 days to 2 years from the session, they can come back for a personal session at a 50% discount on my usual hourly rate.
I have helped hundreds of people to Stop Smoking for life. As an ex smoker myself, who struggled for years to escape cigarettes, I understand the fear & anxiety about stopping smoking & I have put a great deal of skill & research into this programme to make stopping for life easy & achievable.
1,000 people everyday in the UK stop smoking for life – you can enable your staff to be among them & create substantial financial benefits for your business as a result.

Testimonials
"Dear Nichola
Many many thanks for what you have enabled me to do (I think that’s probably right)
Over 4 weeks gone and a healthy return showing on my investment already.
1200% return in just 1 year..!
You should forfeit your fee and simply ask for 10%/ year of what the person saves for the next 3 years.
It really is the most fantastic sense of freedom and actual fitness that I really thought had gone forever.
I was valuing a flat on the 8th floor the other day and the lift had broken. The owner told me to wait through the intercom while he summoned the porter. I leapt up the stairs and reached the 8th floor without even breaking a sweat.
Swimming and running every day and smelling the blossom and wet earth in the morning...fantastic!
The other day I was gushing so much to a friend about the joys I had found that he felt rather tempted to take up smoking just so he could give up and experience what I am feeling.
Thank you so much...you won’t be seeing me again! But I shall be singing your praises for a long time to come!
Kind regards Pete", Smoking "I had a session with you early October 2006 to stop smoking and I have not smoked since then! I must say, it was much easier than I ever though it would be and I am eternally grateful for your help. Dominique", PA, Stop Smoking
“Well it’s good news… absolutely no cigs….. It is so very weird not to be a smoker anymore. Not unpleasant either – just unusual . My sense of smell is much more acute & I am not eating more to compensate.
You should be very proud of yourself that after 36 years of smoking you have deprogrammed me! Thank you!!
Mia x", Stop Smoking
“Hi Nicola,
I came to see you with my friend Tara on May 6th to quit smoking and wanted to send you a quick thank you as I'm still a non smoker 4 months on! I did have huge withdrawal symptoms but absolutely no to desire to smoke or be a smoker, all the reasons for falling off the wagon before have been completely eliminated. Tapping was really helpful and knowing about reaction arcs was also extremely helpful. I cannot thank you enough! All the
best,

Crisis Testimonials
'I came to see Nichola after having some panic attacks in my new work environment. This was a particularly upsetting experience which consumed me each day with the worry of an attack. Initially I had hypnotherapy with Nichola then some cognitive therapy sessions. Nichola made me understand that what I was experiencing wasn't uncommon and the therapy helped me overcome my fears of panicking and how I could deal with stressful situations for which I am grateful for - I have not had a panic attack for 6 months now’ Panic Attacks - Joanne, manager tv network
"You worked wonders! Nick had the scan yesterday & stayed admirably calm...the operator even commented on how calm he seemed! Bless you for being such a marvel," Claustrophobia MRI scan
“Before seeing Nichola I was constantly crying & in a state of panic when I thought about my violent ex partner – in just 2 hours I felt completely differently – I had things in perspective again & felt safe & in control” Anita PTSD
“Thanks Nichola, after losing my Dad I felt overwhelmed with emotion, I felt suicidal & had to shut down just to cope – you helped me to have the courage to address my feelings & release them so that could get on with life & think of my Dad with happy memories rather than Loss – thank you” Anon bereavement
