Hypnosis for smokers?

Question

Do you know anybody who has had hypnosis as a means to stop smoking and were the results effective?. I would like to try it, but am not too keen on wasting my hard-earned bucks.

Thanks for helpful answers

Answer 1

Me and hubby went a few years ago. I did get hypnotized and didn't want a ciggarrette.But watch out. the place sells you vitamins(which were a lot of money) I was all happy after being hyped so told the hubby aww just buy them. Then outside in car he start yelling about buying the vitamins,cause of the money.  His yelling made me light up. I think it works if you go alone and don't buy the vitamins just leave afterwards.

Answer 2

Hypnotherapy is very helpful for smokers.

If you are not willing to quit it will not work.

It is all about a state of mind, if you are not open-minded you will not have the same effect as others.

It is basically a type of therapy to help you quit, it is the same as seeing a therapist to discuss the problems with the addictions.

If you are ready to quit, Hypnotherapy may be the right choice for you.

Answer 3

I tried hypnosis once.  I suffered big time.  However, I did quit for a few months because I was determined not to waste the money I spent on the hypnosis.  So in a twisted sort of way, you could say it worked for me, but certainly not as one might expect.  I truly was in agony because I felt like I quit cold turkey.

On another note, I have heard and read a lot of people say they have had surprising and unexpected success with Chantix, the new drug for smoking cessation.  I'm not a big fan of drugs and even more so drugs that mess with one's brain.

Hello Tamika

Hypnosis can be very affective for smoking.

But with all things related to hypnotherapy YOU have to be ready to stop, if you wish to stop for others or because you feel that you should then you may find that it does not work.

Make sure that you are ready to quit then find yourself a hypnotherapist that you trust & will help you through the process & be prepared for more than a single session.

Good Luck

Answer 5

My friend tried  hypnosis last year but it wouldn't work for him.

IMO, the best way to quit smoking is to take Nicocure for 30 days (or even less for some people)

It is guaranteed, my friend stopped smoking this way

Answer 6

Hypnosis is no more effective than any of the other fad treatments for smoking cessation. About 10% on average.

If you are strongly motivated to quit already, and you are a very suggestible person that improves your odds somewhat,

There is really no such thing as a "hypnotic state".  Hypnosis is basically just shared role playing, or facilitated relaxation.
