As more and more people want to stop smoking, realising the health and social benefits of giving up smoking, there can surely be no doubt that to stop smoking, by whatever method, is one of the most worthwhile and desirable goals around.

So, what’s the best way to stop smoking? To help answer this question, the respected scientific publication ‘New Scientist’*, reporting on research carried out on over 70,000 people, proved hypnosis to be the most effective way to give up the smoking habit.

Getting help to stop smoking with hypnotherapy / hypnosis, was found to be 300% as successful as nicotine replacement therapy, and 500% as successful as just will power alone.

Most smokers believe that it is the addiction to nicotine that makes it so hard to stop smoking. In fact, there is no addiction; it is the habit of smoking, which can make it so hard to stop. If it were an addiction, then it would not be possible for large numbers of people to stop immediately, as they do through hypnosis.

Think about how many cigarettes might get smoked in 8 hours during the day, and then ask yourself if that person is likely to get up the same number of times during the night to smoke, or need the same number first thing in the morning – to catch up? No? – Then the smoking is driven by habit, NOT addiction.

One of the main reasons that the habit of smoking is so ingrained in the mind, is because the habit is linked to so many situations and events… with the first cup of coffee in the morning, break times at work, after a meal, in situations of stress, social situations… I’m sure you’ll probably be able to identify some of your own.

This is why hypnotherapy can be so effective at helping someone to stop smoking. Help with hypnosis for stop smoking, deals directly with the habitual processes, which cause the person to smoke. Hypnosis to help someone quit smoking, doesn’t so much make a person stop smoking, rather, it can remove the desire to smoke.

All that's needed is a strong and genuine desire to stop that smoking habit. Hypnosis is not a magic wand, and can only help you if you want to help yourself give up the smoking habit. If you come because your partner wants you to stop, then you are probably wasting your money.

My stop smoking hypnotherapy session is a two unit programme, and just one-to-one private session – no group sessions, set in a quiet and comfortable environment.

Beginning with taking a short history, it goes on to discuss the general smoking pattern and the individual smoking ‘triggers’, and then moves on to the most relaxing part of the session, the stop smoking hypnosis / hypnotherapy session itself.
