For those of you who have been successful, does it actually eliminate all desire to start smoking again or do you still have to fight back "the urge?"

You need to really want to stop smoking to quit successfully with any method you may choose. Hyonosis does not work for everyone. There are self hypnosis programs you can try at home risk free. Might be worth looking into. Good Luck!

My parents went, they smoked the minute they walked out the door. If you really in your heart of hearts want to quit you will. I quit 1 1/2 years ago cold turkey. I'm not gonna lie to you, it still at times have the urge to smoke. But a lot of my triggers are gone. Like in New Jersey your not able to smoke in a bar anymore. I never smoked in my house or in front of my children.
It took me 5 tries to quit. Keep at it. Think of the great gift your buying yourself when you finally do quit. The sooner you stop the healthier you'll be. Best of Luck and use any means possible to help yourself.

I personally haven't tried, but a friend of mine has done it. It did work for her, but only for about 2 years. Complete and total removal of mental and physical addiction cravings. No urges, no cravings, no weight changes, just a total lack of interest in smoking.
The problem was, she got really stressed at work (for about a month straight) and started back up; initially just one or two a day, then within a month, back to a pack a day. Her husband had the exact same response. I couldn't tell you if stress was the real cause, I'm not them.

It didn`t work for me, maybe because I didn`t want it to, but I worked with a man that was hypnotized to stop smoking and he swears by it, never smoked again. I believe that if u want it bad enough, the idea can be put in ur mind to stop and u will, but if ur just having fun and doing it out of curiosity, its not going to work, such as in my case.

Yes.
No.
You still have the urge and if your not properly committed or quiting for someone else it probably won't be enough. I got hynotised to stop my ex bitching and managed 5 days.

Nothing works unless YOU want it to work. I quit smoking just by saying to myself "I DON'T WANT TO SMOKE ANYMORE". No IF's no BUT's.
