Does hypnotism work for smoking cessation?

Answer by  John (9008)

Smoking is one of the toughest addictions to break. Nothing works every time for every person. Hypnosis can help some people quit smoking. Not everyone who tries it will be successful, however, and it will still be hard work. If you've been unable to quit on your own, however, hypnosis does work sometimes and is worth a try.

I think it's a matter of believing it or not. Some people have tried it and claim that it works wonderfully. Some skeptics who have tried it said it didn't work but that is because they didn't think it would work at all. So if you think it could work try it.

Generally speaking it can, but in a sense you really have to believe it will. It's all about mind over matter, you should give it a try!

Hypnotism may work for individuals who already possess a strong desire to quit smoking before they attempt the therapy. However, just as a hypnotist cannot turn an individual into a deranged killer he cannot heal the smoker that lacks the desire to give up the habit.

I hear that it does work but the most important aspect of this is that you really want to quit, I think if you are not ready it won't work.

Hypnotism doesn't work for smoking cessation. It is temparaty remedy only. If you avoid smoking you only do yourself others never insist.
