A Change of Mind - Story

    The only thing in the world Cassandra wanted was Jake. He
was her one true love, her high school sweetheart and now
he was gone. She'd been dumped. Not because she wasn't
pretty enough, with blue eyes, big full lips and auburn
hair Cassandra was a knockout to say the least. It also
wasn't because she wasn't smart enough, she was the High
School Validictorian and now she worked from home as staff
writer for a major magazine. No it wasn't for any "normal"
reason. It was because she didn't smoke.

Jake, it seems, has a fetish for women who smoke and poor
Cassandra, fervent anti smoker, definatly did not fit the
part. When he told her she had agreed to try A, that is ONE
cigarette, which she spitted out and absolutley hated. She
could still remember Jake, dissapointingly looking down and
shaking his head.

Cassandra's plan to win back Jake's affection was simple.
Start smoking and like it. Only problem was that she
couldn't get over the fact that she truly did hate it. So
after some research, she decided to hypnotize herself into
liking it. People are hypnotized everyday to find it
repulsive (in order to help them quit), so why no the
reverse?

She decided to get everything she needed to make it work.
She went to the story to buy some candles (to help with
induction), a tape recorder (to record the instructions to
herself) and 2 cartons of Marlboro 100s (she didn't think
she would need that many cigs but just in case...)

Her first hypnotic suggestion was simple. "You enjoy the
taste of a cigarette, you enjoy the feeling of holding a
cigarette. You love smoking, you really really love it",
there was a lot more to it than that but that's the basic
idea. She only wanted enough of a message to get her to
started.

The hypnosis worked. Cassandra had successfully hypnotized
herself every night for 2 weeks, playing that same message
over and over. The first cig she tried was after the 2nd
day of being hypnotized and it was just to see if the
hypnosis was working. She put the cigarette to her lips,
lit it and...blech. Stil horrible. She didn't inhale, just
puff'd on it. He first instinct was to put it out, but
there was something about the feeling of it between her
fingers...well, she thought, may as well finish it. She did
and still hated it but not enough to stop trying. There was
something about it...Over the course of the next 2 weeks,
while she was undergoing the hypnosis, she had tried a
cigarette a night with the same results. It was at the the
end of the second week that something happened. She was
taking a drag of the cigarette and inhaled. She didn't
intend to do it but when she did a peculiar feeling swept
over her. Her lungs felt full of smoke, her body felt warm
and tingly. She blew out the smoke and knew she'd done
something right. She took another drag and did it again and
again. "Wow", she thought,"this what smoknig is. I love
this, I really really love it." She smoked 4 other
cigarettes that night, enjoying everyone. "Now to move to
phase 2", she tought.

Her new hypnotic suggestion was also simple and direct,
"You love to smoke and with every drag and every exhale and
every cigarette you smoke you love it more and more. You
need to smoke all the time, you are so addicted that you
can't stop ever", there was more to it than that, her goal
was just enforce the addiction.

She decided to up the ante and hypnotize herself 3 times a
day, instead of once, for another 2 weeks. What she didn't
know was that the tape recorder she was using had become
defective. It started playing the same side of the tape
over and over. She didn't know it but she was hearing the
hypnotic suggestion multiple times, for a few hours each
time, 3 times a day. She knew after the first time she was
out for way too long but she'd figured that she was just
becoming more comfortable with being hypnotized and she was
staying asleep after each session. Over the course fo that
week she started smoking more and more and more...by the
end of the first week, her carton was gone, one more carton
to go. By the 3rd day of the second week she didn't even
notice she was chain smoking. She was instinctively,
without thinking about it, pulling a new cigarette out of
the pack just before finishing her last. She'd take a last
drag off the old one, stomp it out, put the new in her
mouth and go on smoking. The 2nd carton was long gone. She
now had 4 new cartons and she noticed a carton was
disappearing every 2 days. "Well, not to worry, yes I am
smoking a lot but love to smoke and need to smoke all the
time, I can't stop".

Friday was the last day of being hypnotized. She had bought
4 more cartons, and found a website where she can buy more
cheap. She ordered a case of 10 cartons and couldn't wait
for them to arrive. She loved to smoke so much.

On Monday she found out that Jake had moved to Ohio. "Oh
well" she thought. "I have my new love right here" she said
to herself, smoke pouring from her lips and nose as she
spoke. She took a heavy drag off her cig and slowly
breathed it her nose. The only thing she wanted in the
world now, was to smoke and never ever stop.
