The use of hypnosis as a method to help people stop smoking has become a proven, reliable therapy. Back in 1958 the AMA stated hypnosis was a useful tool, and it has only gotten better since then.

For a person to be successful using hypnosis to help him stop smoking, one important requirement is necessary. He must want to stop smoking for the right reason. If a person wants to stop for the wrong reason, the hypnosis suggestions will be rejected, and there will be no change.

Even though they sound good, some of the wrong reasons are:

• your doctor wants you to stop
• your spouse or your kids are pressuring you to stop
• you fear sickness or death
• it has become socially unacceptable
• you are tired of burning holes in your clothes or furniture.

If these were valid reasons, your mind would have already made you a non-smoker!

The only right reason to stop smoking from a hypnosis point of view is if a person can hold a cigarette in his hand, look at it and honestly say to himself, ‘I don’t like you and I don’t want you in my life anymore.’ This, and only this, mental attitude allows the hypnosis suggestions to enter the person’s subconscious mind and change can begin. The other ‘wrong’ reasons can then become excellent support attitudes.

How many hypnosis sessions are required for a person to become completely free from the cigarette habit depends to a large degree on the way the hypnotist was trained. Scientific studies have shown that more sessions are more effective at helping you to remain a non-smoker. We can help you to become a non-smoker in 3 two-hour sessions. You can participate in group or individual sessions.

A well-trained hypnotist will include in the stop smoking session powerful suggestions to eliminate the desire to overeat or the increased desire for the flavor of sweets. Using this technique, many people who are a little overweight going into the session will have a tendency to shed those excess pounds after the hypnosis program is completed.

If you truly desire to stop smoking and honestly have the right reason, ‘I don’t like you and I don’t want you in my life anymore.’ Then you can have the greatest chance of becoming a healthy non-smoker for the rest of your life. Invest in your life and decide today to become a non-smoker tomorrow.
