Does hypnosis help to stop smoking? -

I-d like to know the best way to stop smoking - dont say will power cos that alone doesnt work for some people!Hypnosis did not work for me, but does for some.

I agree, will power is only part of it.. There is no sure cure for addiction to cigarettes other than stopping and there are so many ways to choose, you really and truly must want to stop or nothing will work. Just try everything you know about that is safe way to quit and hope that this will cure you. The craving for nicotine never goes away.

I would not rule out the possibilty of hypnosis just because it did not work on me, because I know people it has worked on. Good luck, you are on the right track.I haven-t tried hynosis so I can-t comment on that, but I would strongly recommend reading Allen Carr-s book (I think it-s called Easy Way to Stop Smoking). Don-t presume he-ll tell you to use willpower, quite the opposite in fact. I smoked 20+ a day for 25 years and I stopped by reading this book and going cold turkey. The first week was tough, but after that I actually found it easy. I never thought I-d be able to say that but it-s true. So read the book - what have you got to lose?i had it done and it stopped me for a week but it worked on my friend.....thing is i never felt like i ever went under anywayits a mental challenge .It didnt work for my mother either shes still a smoker trying to quit againshe was hymotized also to stop smoking when I was a teen.She still smokes to this day.yes hipnosis helps...but try this frist......every time you have a craving for a ciggerette....take a sip of water.It worked for my husband! Just make sure to check into the person that you are using before you pay the big bucks!!well will power has to have a lot to do with stopping smoking as for hypnosis yes it works on those people who truely want to give up and are suspectible to powers of suggestion, I gave up using NiQuitin losegners found those to be a great help and also read the book by alan carr which has a good few pointers - good luck with it anywaySome people say yes,some say no.It depends on the individual person,and how susceptable you are to the influence of the hypnosis.
As there are many different `stop smoking` aids out there,you-ll have to try a few until you-ve found one to suit yourself.
Try chewing gum (a sugar free one preferably) as this helps to relieve the craving for a while.it can do. my gran and grumpa got it done at the same time and it only worked for My grumpa. maybe he wanted to stop more.

another thing that can work is small magnets at certain points on your ear. every time you have a craving you touch the magnet.

good luck
