Have any of you tried hypnosis to stop smoking?
If so, how well did it work?there are 100 ways to quit. some ways are better than others, but all-in-all, all have a pretty lousy success rate. chantix, i think, has a success rate of less then 30%, but dont quote me on that. your best bet is to use a combination of methods. hypnosis is great for relaxation. hypnosis is a type of guided meditation. some people are open to hypnotic suggestions, but really, its just a hour or two of really intense relaxation....nothing more. believe it or not, the patch is still probably the best way to quit. so, if you want (and can afford it) do the patch (or chantix, or zyban) and hypnosis.
also, build up your support group. and after you have gone your first day without smoking, just think how hard it was and remind yourself that you dont ever want to deal with yet another first-day-off-cigarettes again. once you quit, quit for good and never take another drag from a cigarette or other form of tobacco.Yes and it can work but you do need to really really want to quit. Success rate with hypnosis is around 60%...depending largely on the skill of the hypnotist.
People can and do give up without any form of assistance too.Hypnosis can only help you if you are willing and wishing.
If you are a resistant subject a hypnotist can-t help you.I tried to quit for years. Nothing worked till I got the patch. Since then I haven-t smoked for over 6 years. Read about my struggle here.

If you had stop smoking, please answer my question and help me to stop too, Thank-s! Lucasyou make a decision not to smoke.
keep your pack of cigarretes and lighter in your pocket so as not to panic, but tell yourself they are just there , but you wont use them.
preoccupy urself with something really interesting. it could be Q/A. keep smoking out of your mind . chew gum and/or put mint in your mouth and suck slowly.
after a few days, you will hate the smell of stale smoke and feel clean , externally and internally.
good luck.Ok I tried the patch and gum did not work for me try something mint or cinnamon like a hard candy or a chewy candy flavored jelly beans also helpsmoke rollies. they-re really gross. makes you only want to smoke about one a day. then get the patch.Cold turkey. It-s the only way to do it. I smoked for 16 years and I quit 5 months ago. I tried everything up until then. Buck up and quit. It-ll be worth it.Use the patch with Nicorette Inhaler. Don-t -flush- your system too much by drinking lots of liquids. You want your system to keep the nicotine around for a little bit.Lucas the first think you have to do is want to stop! if you do they is a lot of help out there for you! but the first thing you need to do is want to stop, after that you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. want it firstThis sounds really cheesy, but volunteer in a cancer ward once a week for a couple of hours. I quit because I met a guy that was missing half of his throat. It was crazy for me to keep smoking after I saw first hand on a daily basis what cigarettes were doing to me. He talked by holding a little -voicebox- to his neck, just like in the movies. Freaked me out.How to stop smoking? -

i-ve been smoking for roughtly 10 years and have got to the point where i really want to stop. o do keep tryin but somethin always seems to go wrong and i have a cig to relieve the tention.
has anyone any advice for me to stop. i need tips on how to take my mind off of it and also alternitive things to do with my hands because i actually believe thats what i miss.
i ideally want to do it without the patches and chewing gum as i think they are just a substitute. i-d like to do it naturally if poss.
my partner has told me if i stop by his birthday (27th july) that he will take me to France as a reward.
please help as i want to do him proud. any advice will help. thank you xxYou need to find a substuite for that cigarette.. especially the first one of the day.. try not to think about smoking and when you do think about it take your mind off of it by finding something to keep busy or doing whatever substuite you-ve choosen (try making a phone call when you feel the urge)...... if you can get past the first few days it gets easier.. Or you can try negative reinforcement.. Thats when you only have a cigarette when you-re doing something you hate doing.. I had a professor who tried to quit smoking , so he only smoked when he graded papers.. which he hated doing.. unfortunatly it backfired and turned out to be a positive reinforcement, he started looking forward to grading papers..
Just take one day at a time..Try taking valerian tablets or a calming herbal remedy/tea that contains valerian. It worked a treat for me.
Throw the cigs away!

Have a look at this site for calming and bedtime teas they′re great. The act of preparing a tea is a good substitute too.
Good luck.When I gave up I used to keep celery and carrot sticks in the fridge and when I fancied a smoke I would have a couple of them instead.
Also, keep thinking how much better you will feel and how much more money you will have. There are so many plus points to giving up.
Good luck xxHelp to stop smoking? -
