In many countries smoking’s now very much frowned upon. Smokers are treated like social outcasts and have to retreat outside public places if they want to indulge their habit. But giving it up isn’t that easy. Most of us know someone who’s tried to give it up at some point or another. Maybe you’ve even tried yourself, or been egged on by friends and family to do it. The first time – yes – it does seem to work – up until lunchtime, anyway! The second time – well, you don’t feel like having a cigarette for twenty- four hours, but the urge slowly comes back. And, you just know you are going to fail. You feel cynical about it – you might tell your friends the timing just wasn’t right. The excuses are endless. But there’s something completely different that those desperate to kick the habit could try which might just work. And that is hypnosis treatment. While you’re ‘under’, they repeat a word – freedom – to you, and when you come round, you think of it every time you have a craving. But, by the time you think of the word, you have no desire to light up another cigarette! All you have to do is be absolutely determined that you want to give up. And it’s not only smoking that it works for! Do you ever suffer from stage fright, for example? With the help of hypnosis, you’ll find that all your first-night fears are dissolved! All you then need to do is look forward to playing the character, and, while on stage, you should simply become that character! Try a session under hypnosis and see. You’ll be able to talk yourself into a semi-hypnotic state any time you’re under stress, for instance, when you’re flying. You won’t be scared any more – it’ll just help you to relax!

*** Speaker 1 Well, my attitude to money is that the universe will always provide. Some people say it’s a sort of easy come easy go kind of attitude to money but I feel that, you know, if I spend out on other people, it will usually come back. Unfortunately, a lot of time it doesn’t come back. And I can get into debt, which … I have a few problems at the moment, but, you know, I will always want to splash out with money because I really do feel that ultimately it will come around full circle again and

money will come back to me. I love money, I really do, I adore it, and … and when it does come in – I’m a producer so, you know, my lifestyle is very up and down –and when it does come in, I have to, obviously, get it out there as soon as I can for the next project and you never know whether that project will take off. If it does, they say you’ve got to accumulate to speculate, or vice versa – whatever that is – and if it does, it comes back in, which is great. But, I’m not prepared to rein it in totally – no way! Speaker 2 There’s a saying that people use a lot which is that money is the root of all evil. And I’ve got to completely disagree: I don’t think money is the problem, I think greed is the root of all evil. And it’s very interesting there ‘cos there was a friend of mine from school who’s an incredibly intelligent guy and he was determined he was going to be as rich as he possibly could. And he succeeded, I have to say: works in a merchant bank. He’s got to be a millionaire at least. He works, I mean, incredibly hard. And we see each other all the time; he’s a great bloke, well, he’s a great bloke, he’s a fairly greedy bloke, but he is a great guy. But, I’m sure he’s not happier than I am. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not poor. I don’t want to be poor, but I just want to earn enough to … to live well. I don’t want to spend every hour of every day trying to, you know, get the extra, well, however much it might be. I just want to have enough so that my family’s secure, I can live a comfortable life. But other than that I’m perfectly happy just to … to earn what I can, I suppose. Speaker 3 I think I’m quite sensible about money. I mean I always as a child used to sort of save me lunch money and kind …
