Does hypnosis really help you to quit smoking?

Answer 1

Only a minority of people can be put into a truly hypnotic trance. For most of us, it is variable how far we can or will go into one. Perhaps it's a defense mechanism thing - at least unconsciously, we don't like to loose our 'sense' of control. For this reason, many people opting for hypnosis as a way to quit the dreaded weed will find it won't really work. Also, you would have to take into account other issues and their interplay on the addiction. For example, there will always be things that we eat or drink that will trigger the desire to light up. Or it might be a certain behavior, like waiting for the bus and suddenly the addiction centre of our brain is lit up like a christmas tree or like fireworks night.There's also peer group pressure for some, especially for younger woman, thanks to the really evil publicity campaigns by cigarette companies aimed at this demographic group. Finally, addictiveness as one example of our individual differences has to be also taken into account. We're all wired differently on that big enigma. So the answer has to be probably 'no', but it's still worth giving it a blast if you are serious about kicking the habit.

Answer 4

Maybe. I gave up after 12 years 1 pack a day by reading Allan Car's "The easy way to quit smoking". I think anyone that really wants to give up can actually find it easy to do once they realise that we are fooled into thinking that cigarettes are more addictive than they actually are. Once a small cigarette craving sets of a smokers mind, It is almost imposable for them to stop thinking about having a cigarette until they have one, but it is their mind that is doing this not their nicotine addiction. The cravings only last about 30 seconds and aren't even very strong. Once a smoker realises this it is easy to quit if they really want to.
Hypnosis could work seeing as most of the addiction is in peoples mind. All you would need to do is deprogram people that it is to hard to give up.

Answer 5

Hypnosis TOTALLY works for quitting smoking. The key is that you really have to want to quit.

After you decide that you want to quit smoking, hypnosis is the perfect help to make sure you really do it. Quitting is hard, but having quit smoking hypnosis helped me so much. I can't tell you how much I have saved both in terms of money for the cost of cigarettes and in the enjoyment of my life. I breath fresh air all the time.

I used an quit smoking hypnotherapy program that met through Skype, so I didn't have to go to an office. He offers a 100% lifetime guarantee as well, but the key is you have to want to quit. His name is Stephen Gardiner, you can visit his website:

Answer 6

I walked out of there thinking what a load of bull... expected to want one after dinner, never had one, even though I was with husband & friends that smoked. I was 6 weeks pregnant at the time, maybe that was the underlying factor? I wanted to quit for that reason & my own health... 8 years later, I have still never touched another smoke!!! I was probably a 20 - 30 smokes a day person, for around 20 years before that hypnosis was done

Answer 7

It didn't work for me either. I went with my son, he started again the same day. I lasted about 3 weeks. I think you have to really be ready and really want it. It plants the idea in your mind or reinforces it. But if your not ready, really, really ready don't think it will work. They also sold vitamins? Or something that were supposed to help with withdrawal and help flush your system of the cravings faster. They were like $300.00, I didn't get those. They were not in my budget. Maybe they would have helped???? I don't know. But I also lived with 2 smokers and have friends that smoke so the temptation was always in my face so to speak. Well any way good luck to you. I need a cigarette! LOL

Answer 8

My sister had hypnosis to quit smoking, and it didn't work.

From what I have observed, it takes a strong will, good support, and to have as much information as possible to make the choice as to which method (ie: nicotine patch, chewing gum, reducing, cold turkey) would work for you.

My father-in-law quit when he had to stay in hospital for some time due to renal failure.

Hope that helps!

Answer 9

Hypnosis is one of many viable options for those interested in quitting smoking. In fact, a study conducted at the University of Iowa in 1992 found that hypnosis was the MOST effective treatment for smoking cessation as compared to other techniques (patch, gum, etc). Researchers conducted a meta-analysis, which combines the results of more than 600 studies covering 72,000 people in the U.S. who participated in various cessation techniques. They found that subjects that underwent hypnotism had the highest success rate of quitting. This is just one of many scientific studies that have been conducted regarding the effectiveness of hypnosis. Thousands of studies can be found on PubMed, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
