THINK OF ALL THAT ASH CASH!

Cigarettes UP by 37p a packet after the Budget this week!
If you've thought of quitting now is the time to take ACTION.
With a packet of 20 costing the best part of £8 just think of what you could do with all that cash you would save if you QUIT.
We call it Ash Cash - and many of our successful smokers can't believe what they've managed to do with their savings.
Retired publican Betty Sweeney says: 'I just shop, shop, shop!; school janitor Marie Agnew has given her house a make-over - and been on THREE holidays; 20-year-old Gavin Somerville is saving up for a car while grandmother Anne Rouse has been smoke free for two years in April and loves spending her ash cash on her grandchildren - and on holidays.
'I used to spend over £80 a week on cigarettes - and that was two budgets ago!  Apart from feeling so much better I now enjoy spending my ash cash on treating my family.'
So what are you waiting for - start an Ash Cash fund today and just see the money mount up!

Anne Rouse and her husband are enjoying their Ash Cash savings!

HAPPY NO SMOKING DAY 2012

Is it time for YOU to quit?
We'd like to thank lots of our success stories who are celebrating their first No Smoking Day smoke-free - I bet they feel fantastic.
Congratulations to yummy mummy Pamela Wallace; joiner John Smith; Jean Grieve; Jim Sharp; mum and daughter Isabel and Kirsty Brogan who stopped exactly a year ago today and David O'Neil to name just a few.
The last year has been busy as ever as we spread the no smoking word.
And new to our team at Anne Penman Laser Therapy are Laura Curtis and Gillean McNeill - doing a first class job getting our unique laser therapy treatment out to new clients wanting to give up - but until now haven't succeeded.
And finally on No Smoking Day 2012 I would like to congratulate Janett Tomasso, from East Kilbride,  who celebrates 20 YEARS smoke free this year.  Janett was one of my first clients and has always promoted us and told everyone how successful laser is.
We thank you Janett from the bottom of our hearts.

NO SMOKING DAY 2012 - What Kind of Smoker Are You?

From serial smokers to sneaky smokers; from the die hard to the light smoker March is the month that focuses the mind on your addiction.
No Smoking Day is tomorrow, Wednesday 14^th March.  Is this the year you plan to do something about it?

'I know what it's like,' says Anne Penman,  'I was a 60-a-day smoker for over 19 years – a woman with a passion to smoke.  I quit my nicotine habit in 1991 after discovering laser therapy and since then I have made it my goal to help as many people as possible make long-term lifestyle changes.

 ‘At this time of year most smokers are beating themselves up about failing to stop after New Year and with No Smoking Day looming that adds to the pressure.   We are here to help, not lecture.’

Smokers have all kinds of excuses and reasons to smoke: they enjoy smoking, smoking helps with stress, smoking keeps their weight down, they can smoke and skip a meal, all their friends smoke and they don’t want to be the odd one out – and so it goes on.

But just think of experiencing your first evening; first morning; first day and first weekend as a non-smoker able to relax, enjoy socialising and having fun.  That's what No Smoking Day is all about - you can do it and we're here to help!

WHERE HAS JANUARY GONE?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, what a busy month January has been for the Anne Penman team.  We kicked off with an article in the Daily Record - Doing It for the Kids - featuring Danielle Hewitt and her two lovely children Courtney, 10 and Scott, 6 and dad of three Steve Watson telling their stories of how they stopped smoking with us.  We were inundated with enquiries after their inspirational stories.  Next reporter Tracey Bryce from the Sunday Post tried out our laser therapy for weight loss - and voted us top!  While the Scottish Daily Mail ran a competition with us about our Stop Smoking Weekend Retreats which we are planning again for this spring.  It's now countdown to No Smoking Day in March - watch this space!

ONE YEAR ON!

Happy New Year to Stella Hoey in Liverpool.
A year ago this month Stella drove from Liverpool to Bridge of Allan to attend our first ever Stop Smoking Weekend Retreat - and hasn't had a cigarette since!
Stella has also become our biggest fan south of the border and has now set up her own Anne Penman Laser Therapy business in the Wirrel.
'As a lifelong smoker I had tried everything to stop but had never managed to quit - until I met Anne,' says mum of 3 Stella.
'I put my meeting with Anne down to fate.  I was sitting in my local doctor's surgery last January and read about her Stop Smoking weekends.  I phoned the number at the end of the article, there was one on the next day so I jumped in my car and drove to Scotland.  It's the best thing I've ever done!'
Now Stella is proud to be a year long non-smoker and have her own business spreading the word.
'Although I have a full time job I felt more people should know about this amazing treatment and be benefiting from it,' says Stella, who runs a William Hill betting shop in Chester.
Her new business is up and running now and she already has one success story, dad of two Chris Parker, who is smoke-free and has never felt better.
'Since giving up smoking my lifestyle has totally changed.  I can play with my kids now without getting out of breath, I go to the gym, I eat better and can actually taste the food, my teeth always feel clean and best of all I don't smell like an ashtray!'
Last word goes to Stella, pictured below with Chris:
'I'm so passionate about this therapy.  Every smoker should have the chance to try this amazing treatment.......it changes lives, it certainly did mine!'

HAPPY NEW YOU!

Happy New Year to everyone - Ron and I are certain it is going to be a positive, prosperous year for all of us.
We truly believe that with the right support we can achieve anything - and what better time of year to re-iterate this and wish you all a happy and healthy 2012.

The benefits of quitting are far better than the discomfort of recovery - and Marie Agnew is testiment to that.
Marie quit smoking with us 18 months ago - and can't believe how her life has changed.
She's featured in today's Scottish Daily Record - see her lovely picture below - and she couldn't be a better example of the success of our laser therapy treatment.
'I had tried everything from lozenges to patches and gum but none of them worked until I met Anne and discovered  her amazing laser treatment,' says mum of two Marie.
'Since I quit I've done up my house, gone on three holidays and the best bit of all is I can now buy anything without worrying about having enough cash for cigarettes!'
