If you are a smoker who is looking to quit, you have probably had conversations with family, friends, and health care workers about the dangers of continuing to smoke. However, ‘just quitting’ is a lot more difficult than it sounds to non-smokers. Nicotine is a powerfully addictive drug, and smoking easily becomes an habitual behavior which is triggered by certain places, people, and circumstances. Many smokers make repeated attempts to quit, becoming increasingly disheartened after each failure and wondering if they will ever have the willpower necessary to make the change permanent.

Fortunately, there is a solution which allows you to harness the power of your subconscious mind rather than relying on sheer willpower to get you through. Hypnotherapy allows you to move beyond the physical cravings you may be feeling and the habits you have built up around smoking, and address the subconscious thoughts and emotions which have made it difficult for you to quit in the past. A hypnotherapist with expertise in smoking cessation can help you to break the association between smoking and positive emotions such as pleasure or stress relief, and instead to associate cigarettes with negative things such as an unpleasant taste or smell. Through hypnosis, your subconscious mind can learn to see you as a non-smoker, and give you the strength you need to conquer physical cravings. For anyone who has genuinely decided to become a non-smoker, hypnotherapy is an incredibly powerful tool, with results usually evident after a single session.
