PAN Fan and fellow video maker Bruce (of Brucine) made this video for a friend of his that was trying to quit smoking. He used some footage from this PAN episode.

I was interested in the hypnosis tape that he sampled. I used to smoke quite a bit (pack a day) when I worked in the restaurant industry. Then I quit altogether for a couple years. Then I picked it back up, but much less than before. Now I smoke a few cigarettes per week, and only when drinking alcohol. I can’t separate the two habits in my head. A gin and tonic just isn’t the same without a cigarette.

So anyway, I asked Bruce where I could find the original hypnosis tape, and he was nice enough to MP3 it and upload it to Blip.

This is a dub of a quit-smoking (audio) tape that the American Lung Association of Wisconsin put out sometime in the 1970’s. I helped me to quit. I’m putting it up here for the use of anybody who wants to give it a try. Probably best not to listen to this while driving.

Here is the MP3 File

Thanks Bruce.
