Hypnosis to quit smoking, good or bad?
Today I have an appointment to for hypnosis to help me quit smoking, was wondering if anyone heard or have done this themselves and if it does help or if I’ll be wasting money. I already cut back quite a bit on smoking, went the whole weekend without a smoke. Yesterday I ended up buying a pack because I got some unpleasant news and got really stressed out because of it. I honestly want to quit. My father passed away back in December and he always wanted me to quit smoking, so I’m doing this for him. Does the hypnosis really work?
Hypnosis can be a powerful assist in winning the war against tobacco addiction. As a Family MD, I use hypnosis extensively in smokers whose predominant component of their addiction is primarily the psychological comfort behaviour of smoking. If you smoke a pack a day or less and you don’t have to instantly smoke when you get out of bed, you are likely to be in this class of patient.
Provided you are motivated to be hypnotized and motivated to disconnect from smoking and have reasonalble hypnotic skills ( about 8 out of 10 patients do) then hypnosis is a great method to terminate.

its an idea, you can go ahead and try it to see if it works, but no guarantees. Hypnosis works on certian people but not others.

Hypnosis i don’t think will work because smoking is not mental its an addiction
allot of people who smoke cant stop because its and addiction and your body feels like it cant live without the cigarette
you can try it though
for fun

Bad because it keeps reminding you that you are a smoker and it is a problem and so it will make it harder for you to give up
