Many people believe that smoking is a habit so exciting that there is no easy way to quit smoking. Many simply do not even try. Others are half-hearted attempts, but again the grass for a day or so. Some of them decided to quit and look for the most effective ways for people to go. Some of them use nicotine patches or gum to relieve cravings and get rid of this habit in this way. Others are turning to alternative treatmentsand therapies. In a large study at the end of the last century, all methods have tried to quit smoking hypnotherapy has emerged as the most effective way to quit smoking. Here is a brief overview of how and why hypnosis works so well to help people quit smoking.


A good hypnotherapist will know that when a smoker comes into my practice that people are absolutely desperate to quit smoking. It takes great courage to venture into the unknown, and the practice of hypnotherapy gives great advantage over other methods to stop smoking. In most cases, the customer is the last resort, and are willing to give it your best shot.


Armed with this knowledge, the hypnotherapist is ready for the smoker. He or she will unleash a barrage of reasons why smoking is so bad for their client and follow up with a whole host of reasons why they should stop smoking, here and now. While still reeling from the information overload of why they absolutely should quit smoking, the smoker is then gently placed into hypnosis by a relaxation method known as progressive relaxation. This is where the skilled hypnotherapist uses verbal imagery hypnotherapy techniques to relax the entire body of the client in such a way as to make them feel at ease and not threatened in any way.


Hypnotherapy uses a person’s relaxed state to deliver suggestions directly to the subconscious part of their mind, where they will take root and become a part of the person’s normal mind-set. Once the client is hypnotised deeply enough, the hypnotherapist then goes about delivering the specific suggestions that will bring about the change in the client’s thought process that will make it feel natural to be a non-smoker. This small detail is, in fact, very important. It is easier to stop smoking when a person is in the frame of mind that they are a non-smoker rather than someone who is giving up, or who has quit smoking. These imply the person was a smoker, which will remain at the back of their minds and could lead to them reverting back to the way they were if subjected to temptation. The person who has the mindset of a non-smoker, interestingly, is not so vulnerable to the temptation to restart their habit, as that habit has been effectively forgotten. In its simplest terms, someone who has quit smoking, was once a smoker. Someone who is a non-smoker is a person who doesn’t smoke. There is a world of difference in those two statements and the good hypnotherapist knows this.


Together with a heap of information on the dangers of smoking, all the reasons why it is desirable to quit smoking combined with powerful hypnotic suggestions designed to alter the mindset of the ex-smoker to that of a non-smoker, the skilled hypnotherapist will engineer the change that will enable their client to walk out of their practice as a non-smoker. It is for this reason hypnotherapy has been cited the most successful way to stop smoking.
