Anyone on here actually stopped using this method?
Seriously want to stop,and have tried loads of different ways,and I'm struggling.
Is it worth paying for this,or is it a load of shit?
Any recommendations or advice is more than welcome.
 
I have never smoked, but two of our friends were heavy smokers. About 15 years ago they both went to a hypnotist after trying various other methods. Neither have touched one since.

I am seeing one of them later for a few beers in town, can ask him who they used if you wish? (They live in Stockport, so expect it to be over that way)
 
My wife tried this and did eventually quit. She thinks it works but its not like flipping a switch. Pregancy was the point she finnaly quit for good but the hypno stuff did make a big change along the way. You have to want to quit and want to change your life style to cut out the temptation, if you spend a lot of time sitting outside pubs with mates who smoke then unless you change that this wont work. The hypno stuff helps make those changes.

I've been a smoker for 41 years and counting. Gave up last year for 8 months using patches and gum and felt better for it, and after about a month I felt I didn't have any urges to smoke anymore.

However, due to suffering acute Tinnitus i started to smoke weed without tobacco added as an aid to getting sleep at night. It was getting expensive so i decided to buy 30gms of tobacco to mix with. I soon got hooked on nicotine again but i haven't smoked weed for several months as I'm sleeping ok at present.

I think hypnosis is definitely worth trying, possibly acupuncture too as i knew a 60 a day smoker quit using acupuncture.

Smoking is definitely all in the mind so hypnosis would probably work. But a smoker needs to really want to give up and I don't feel ready to try and quit right now as I'm enjoying a few roll ups a day tbh.

Good luck quitting: )
 
I had hypnosis years ago. First thing I did when I came out was light a fag!!!. Got an e cig in 2010, it took a couple of attempts but did eventually make the switch. Not smoked a fag in 10 years. Fell better for it. Smokers cough has gone, lungs are so much better.
