Smoking In Cars With Children Will Be Banned
Smoking in cars with children will be banned in England, under new laws put forward by the government.
The regulations laid before Parliament propose banning smoking in cars containing under 18s. A fine of £50 will be issued to people who smoke or who fail to prevent another person smoking.
MPs will vote on the plans before the election – and if they are passed the change in law will come into force on 1 October 2015.
The move comes after a free vote in Parliament in February gave ministers the power to introduce the law, although it did not compel them to. Dr Hilary Wareing says children exposed to second-hand smoke in cars are more likely to have respiratory infections.
“The only effective way to protect children is to prevent them breathing second-hand smoke and our plans to stop smoking in cars carrying children will help us to do this.”
Why Stop Smoking in cars?
- Smoke can stay in the air for up to two and a half hours even with a window open.
- Second-hand smoke contains more than 4,000 chemicals, some of which are known to cause cancer.
- Exposure has been strongly linked to chest infections, asthma, ear problems and cot death in children.
- Research indicates 300,000 children in the UK visit a GP each year because of the effects of second-hand smoke, with 9,500 going to hospital.
- Smoking in a car creates a higher concentration of toxins than in a bar, some research has put it at 11 times higher.
- Bans on smoking in cars when children are present already exist in some US states, including California, as well as in parts of Canada and Australia.
The UK Government wants to make it an offence to sell “nicotine inhaling products” to anyone under the age of 18, except where it is used as licensed medicine.
Health minister Jane Ellison said: “Second-hand smoke is a real threat to children’s health and we want them to grow up free from the risks of smoking.
“The only effective way to protect children is to prevent them breathing secondhand smoke and our plans to stop smoking in cars carrying children will help us to do this.”
The World Health Organisation found that second-hand smoke is a “real and substantial threat to child health”, the DoH said.
Health problems have included increased susceptibility to pneumonia and bronchitis, worsening of asthma, decreased lung function, and sudden infant death syndrome, it added.
The British Lung Foundation estimates that 430,000 children are exposed to second-hand smoke in their family car every week.

Hypnosis to Cope with Exams and Test Stress
Children are undergoing hypnosis to cope with the stress of NAPLAN tests.
Courier Mail News
DESPERATE parents are taking children to hypnotists to wipe out NAPLAN stress.
“Children are making themselves physically ill with worry over these tests and I have found I can make a big difference in bringing peace to their young lives,” said the Gold Coast’s Wayne Donnelly, who calls himself a hypnotist rather than a hypnotherapist.

Using techniques once reserved for stage shows, Mr Donnelly works with children using neuro linguistic programming (NLP).
“At first I thought there may be other underlying fears and didn’t understand that a school test could cause such anxiety,” he said. “But that’s exactly what it has been doing – these children are making themselves physically sick over whether they pass or fail NAPLAN.”
He worked previously as an accountant and business coach but reinvented himself after the GFC.
Tanya Targett said her daughter Olivia, 9, started worrying about NAPLAN in Grade 2.
“As soon as we got through the Grade 3 testing, she started stressing about the Grade 5 test. It was constant. This damn thing was constantly on her mind, almost in a sense stealing her childhood and the stress was manifesting physically, with tummy pains and tears – she just didn’t want to go to school,” Ms Targett, 39, said.
Despite her fears, the nine-year-old excelled in the Grade 3 tests.
“We had discussed the test issues with the GP and child psychologist but Olivia kept sinking back into the anxiety. I had heard about hypnotism and was desperate for a solution. It was instant success. From that one $160 session, she transformed back into a happy, healthy child and has not looked back,” she said.
“There was nothing weird about the session and I was there with her. It was not a hypnotic trance but like a very laid-back conversation between them.
“He changed the meaning of NAPLAN in her mind and linked the word to the music from her favourite My Little Pony show. She tells me that is what she hears now every time the dreaded word NAPLAN comes up and there is no bad reaction.”
Brisbane child psychologist Judith Locke believes the pressures on children about NAPLAN tests are causing problems for parents.
“There is a ridiculous pressure put on schools and students about NAPLAN and it has not been at all beneficial. I will say the student who needs hypnotherapy about such a test, I would suspect, has issues to do with worry and anxiety that need to be addressed with the aid of a clinical psychologist using proven treatments and working with the whole family,” she said.
DEPRESSION, ANXIETY PLAGUE TEENAGE GIRLS
INCREASING numbers of teenage girls are turning up at the Mater Children’s Hospital in Brisbane with depression and anxiety, mirroring a worldwide trend.
Child and adolescent psychiatrist William Bor said studies indicated teenage girls were experiencing significantly higher rates of depression and anxiety this century compared to the latter part of the 1900s.
“More young women are presenting to the Mater Children’s casualty department and that’s increased over five years,” Dr Bor said. “Typically, it’s 14-year-old girls who have experience of depression and … stress.”
While the causes are not clear, he said more stress in schools was a contributing factor.
“At the Mater, the referrals vary depending on the time of the school year. It’s quiet in school holidays,”
Dr Bor said. “It’s worst during the school term, particularly at exam times. Kids are facing more pressure to complete Year 12. There’s limited capacity to get good jobs if they leave school early.”
As Queensland Year 12s prepare to sit the core skills test next month, Dr Bor called for more programs in schools to help instil resilience in students and to educate them about identifying depressive feelings.

How Sports Hypnosis Can Reduce Performance Blunders
How to apply sports hypnosis.
If you want to determine if sports hypnosis can help you become a better player at the sport you love, you can start by sending simple subliminal messages to your subconscious. Here are some examples of messages that can be used to replace the negative thoughts about sports in your head:
- I believe in myself and my abilities.
- I persist and I succeed.
- I can handle challenges.
- I can achieve what I put my mind to.
- I am in control of my thoughts.
- I am excellent at (your sport).
- I express my unique talent, skill and ability
Sports hypnosis can help in giving athletes constant encouragement and affirmation. With the self-hypnosis process, coaches can help eliminate self-defeating ideas like “I will never be good enough” or “I always suck at this part.” When the team experiences sidetracks, like thrashing defeats or training equipment failure, hypnosis can help keep everyone motivated. In a way, sports hypnosis is a tool for “psyching” an athlete towards success.
How does sports hypnosis work?
In sports hypnosis, your mind is more open and receptive to positive messages and images about sports, confidence, victory, and success. Once your subconscious is focused on these concepts, it then directs your body to act and move towards those goals. So even if you don’t push your body too hard, you will find that you have an innate and unlimited supply of energy and will to perform your best.
There are also many other aspects of sports hypnosis other than developing a positive winning attitude. Hypnosis can also effectively remove any barriers or limitations to your success in sports. Through hypnosis, you can programme your mind to stay cool and calm even under a lot of performance related pressure.
What is sports hypnosis?
Sports hypnosis is the process of training the mind to work with your body and make sports an easy feat. Although often spoken about in harsh tones, sports hypnosis is said to be widely used in the field of sports.
This is why dream athletic teams have a sport mental coach on board. These are the professionals who ensure that athletes are focused, motivated and emotionally ready to take on the physical abuse typical of many contact sports. Among the techniques in a sport mental coaches arsenal is sports hypnosis.

Sports hypnosis can help athletes manage pain and injury.
Pain and injury are sadly always a possibility, even among the most careful of athletes. In some sports, like boxing or mixed martial arts, pain may even be inevitable. Hypnosis can assist athletes in managing hurts, aches and knocks.
Athletes use hypnosis when recovering from physical ailments they may experience in the course of their game or their training. It is also often used as part of sports mental coaching to help injured athletes recover from their injuries and get back in the game. Usually, aside from the physical injury, athletes are bombarded with several negative emotions in reaction to the experience. This often affects their entire personalities and may even affect them even after they’re recovered.
