Quit Smoking Information

There is some excellent information available on the web about quitting smoking.



You can find out about all the different products available. I just read that if you really want to make sure you quit for good this time, use a nicotine replacement therapy or herbal formula combined with hypnosis or group therapy. Now that sounds like a good idea, and I have had several clients who did that. Some people have tried unsuccessfully before, so just to make sure, they combine a chemical aid which helps to ease the physical symptoms of nicotine withdrawal, with hypnosis sessions to modify the behavior, addressing both the physical habit as well as the behavioral habit.



Although hypnosis alone may work with 66% of former smokers, this is really good news for the other smokers who have really stubborn habits. The 66% is the median of the numerous statistics cited for successful smoking cessation with hypnosis. The highest was 79% and the lowest 22%. Keep in mind 2 things:

1. Though they give you the statistic, they may not explain whether the "hypnotism" was one session or multiple sessions, or whether it was an individual session or group session,

2. And that when dealing with addictions, 20% is considered a great success.



I found some interesting articles on Ezine about smoking cessation:

And if you want to use affirmations to help achieve your goals, you can find great books at the library or favorite bookstore. I spoke at the Library, and I had some books on the table in front, but forgot to mention them during the lecture.
