Consider combining hypnosis with a good cessation program that focuses on behavioral change. Ask friends and personal physicians to recommend a good hypnotherapist. The number of sessions needed varies depending on the hypnotist and you. Some people are smoke-free after one session, while others require up to four sessions. Sessions may be conducted on an individual basis or in a group setting.
Most hypnotists feel the individual approach has a better success rate than the group setting.
Hypnosis Pros Doesn't involve medications. May require just one visit. Good for people who feel their problem is a lack of willpower. Hypnosis Cons Can get expensive. Doesn't address nicotine addiction.
