About The Isis ProgramAbout The Isis Program
It Works and it’s the best
The Isis Stop Smoking Programme was developed at Otago University in the late 1970’s
and has helped tens of thousands of New Zealanders to quit smoking permanently.
Its success is, in part, due to the comprehensiveness of the course. Independent research
has shown that Isis is one of, if not, the most successful stop smoking programmes
available world wide. More than 70% of smokers on an Isis course successfully quit by
course end. For the rest, the average number of cigarettes is less than 2 per day.
The number of cigarettes smoked is reduced over the course of the week as shown in the
graph below.

Why does it work
A qualified Course Director will introduce to you a range of powerful
tools and skills to combat the "habit". For most smokers there is both a
physical (nicotine) and a psychological or behavioural addiction to cigarettes.
Quitting by yourself relies on your willpower and only denies the need to smoke. For some
this may be successful. However for the majority of "quitters" it is not and
often results in people smoking more than before. Similarly, patches only suppress the
physical craving for nicotine with little or no consideration of the behavioural factors.
You may recognise some of those behavioural factors which are automatic responses or
"triggers" to smoking, like having a cup of coffee, when the phone rings or when
you first get up in the morning.
On an Isis course you will learn to modify your behaviour to smoking, de-programme the
desire to smoke and how to stop with a minimum of stress.
You will be a member of a group of smokers who want to make a positive change to their
lives - to become ex-smokers. The course is conducted in a relaxed, positive atmosphere,
using only proven methods and does not include any gimmicks, hypnosis or religion.

The benefits
Over 75% of smokers state that the major reason they wish to quit is for improved health.
Smoking is the single largest cause of premature death, some 4700 New Zealanders each
year. The other benefits include improved acceptance of you as a non smoker by other non
smokers, improved taste of food, fresher breath, improved complexion and a fresher
smelling car or home etc. Perhaps you don’t want your children to start the habit or
you’re concerned about passive smoking.
Isis calculated that you could reduce your mortgage, assuming a packet per day, by more
than $30,000 over 10 years. Not to mention the large savings in life insurance premiums.
If you quit you will receive enormous benefits and with time you will significantly
improve your fitness and health prospects.

About our name
Isis was an ancient Egyptian goddess that was gifted with great magical powers.
She was said to cure the sick and bring the dead to life. Isis symbolises well
the stop smoking programme that bears her name. While the programme is not magical, the
extraordinary success of the programme has enabled many to quit when they thought it to be
hopeless. For many it is frequently viewed as little short of a miracle.
