Change We Can Believe In? Barack Obama Challenged to Kick the Smoking Habit - With Hypnosis
Atlanta's Stop Smoking Expert, Sean Wheeler challenges President-Elect Barack Obama to Quit Smoking on World Hypnotism Day - January 4th, 2009. Wheeler will hypnotize 88 smokers to quit the habit for good at a free event in Marietta, GA.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) December 31, 2008 -- Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist Sean Wheeler has challenged President-Elect Barack Obama to stop smoking in conjunction with the 5th Annual World Hypnotism Day on January 4th, 2009. Obama recently admitted that he still struggles with the habit to Tom Brokaw on Meet the Press.
Each year, 390,000 Americans die from the effects of smoking, according to the American Red Cross.
"I challenge our next President to set an example for the American people," said Wheeler, a certified member of the National Guild of Hypnotists. "I think he should take a stand, be a true leader and say to every smoker in America that 'Yes, we can' become smoke-free."
January 4th is the day when hypnosis professionals in more than 20 countries around the world promote the benefits of hypnotism. At this year's seminar in Atlanta, the biggest free stop smoking event in Georgia's history, anyone - even Mr. Obama - can learn to become smoke-free.
"Many thousands of people have used hypnosis to quit, including some well-known celebrities like Ellen Degeneres and Matt Damon," Wheeler explained, "it only makes sense that Mr. Obama would use a proven method that would allow him to serve as a role model for the entire country."
Wheeler is well aware of the implications of such a powerful figure using something as commonly misunderstood as hypnosis.
"Some people might worry I'd turn him into a Republican," Wheeler laughed, "but hypnosis doesn't work like that. If it did, I'd persuade him to change his mind about the Bailout Bill."
The free event will take place in the Cabernet Room of the Doubletree Hotel on Windy Hill Rd from 4:00pm to 6:00pm on Sunday, January 4th, 2009. Information on how to register for the event is available at www.purehypnosis.com/worldhypnotismday.
Sean Wheeler is available for media interviews at 678-488-7362. Members of the press can find more information online at http://www.purehypnosis.com.
