Smoking is indeed a hard habit to break. Since the health consequences of smoking are so serious (after all, cigarettes are the only product which kill more than half of the people who use them when used as directed), it is worth trying anything to give up this dangerous habit. You might have already tried several different ways to quit smoking - there is cold turkey, nicotine replacement therapy, even acupuncture and other alternative therapy. However, one treatment aimed at smoking cessation can work even when you've given up on everything else. Many people who are treated with hypnosis stop smoking for good.



A lot of people might arch their eyebrow at the idea that they can, by the use of hypnosis stop smoking. However, hypnotherapy is acknowledged as an effective treatment for changing many kinds of undesirable and/or unhealthy behavioral patterns - and the treatment has worked for many to give up the nicotine habit once and for all, even if they've been unable to quit using other methods.



Hypnotherapy works by implanting suggestions in the subconscious. Normally, your subconscious mind is much more difficult to speak to directly; but when you are in the trancelike state induced by hypnosis, a trained hypnotherapist can make suggestions to your subconscious which aim to change your behavioral patterns for the better. Hypnosis has been effective for countless smokers at their wit's end about how to quit - but they once they have gone through a session of hypnosis, stop smoking.



Hypnotherapy is also less challenging than some smoking cessation therapies; cold turkey seems like a good way to go, but a lot of us simply do not have that kind of strength - and going cold turkey requires a lot of it (and the symptoms of nicotine withdrawal can be very hard to cope with, as many who have tried it can tell you). Nicotine replacement therapy can work for some people, but many find that they still crave nicotine afterwards and take the habit back up not long after getting off of the gum, patch, lozenges or inhalers.



There are also prescription drugs for smoking cessation, but a lot of these drugs have undesirable side effects and were actually intended to treat other conditions originally (many are antidepressants which have been slightly reformulated, for example). However, there are more natural alternatives and many have been able to, with the help of hypnosis stop smoking for good without the risk of side effects.



A hypnotherapy session aimed at helping you to quit smoking will begin just like any other hypnotherapy treatment - with the hypnotist placing you into a hypnotic state. The hypnotist will then feed suggestions to your subconscious which usually include telling you that you are not a smoker, you have no cravings for nicotine and even that the smell of cigarettes makes you sick! This treatment can make even heavy smokers repulsed by the odor of smoke after a single hypnotherapy session.



If you have tried everything else and have been unable to quit, you should give some consideration to hypnosis. Stop smoking as soon as you can and better health will be your reward.
