Hypnosis to Help You Quit Smoking

Even people who have tried for years to quit, are amazed at how simple it is to stop smoking once and for all with just a few hypnosis sessions.
In fact, a study by Dr. Joseph Barber of the University of Washington, Seattle, for example, found that hypnotic intervention can be integrated into a treatment protocol for smoking cessation. Of 43 patients who were undergoing the protocol, 39 were still smoke-free at their follow-up, which was 6 months to 3 years after the treatment ended.
Studies show that for people who try to quit smoking alone without any additional help or support (hypnosis or otherwise), the success rate is very low. Only 2-5% of those who try are successful after 12 months, with most failing in the first 2-3 weeks. On the other hand, those who engage in a behavior modification program, nicotine replacement, or a Zyban medication approach alone, average about a 25% success, rate and up to a 50% success rate when used in some combination with each other after a 12-month period.
While medical professionals are impressed with the results of single-session hypnosis, multiple-session hypnotherapy has been shown to be the most effective strategy for stopping smoking. Success rates for people using multiple-session hypnosis to quit are as much as 10 times the success rates of those who try to quit without any tools or resources. An examination of multiple research studies show that a single session hypnosis treatment to stop smoking produced about a 25% success rate, whereas about 66% of those engaging in at least 4-5 sessions of hypnosis quit smoking after a 6-12 month period.
