Cravings will fade away in three to five minutes. Don't give in. They will go away whether you do smoke, or you don't. When an urge strikes, take five slow, deep breaths, and drink a full glass of water. If possible, leave the scene of the craving.
Hypnosis is one of many tools used in cigarette cessation.
Many folks think it's a type of mind control, but it's really just a way of tapping into your inner-self. When a person is just about to drift into sleep and upon first awakening, she is quite receptive to auto suggestions. First take a few minutes to become relaxed. Take three deep breaths in through your nose, as deep into your lungs as possible, pause, and slowly blow out every bit of air you can, through your lips like a kiss. My body will let me know that.
