Smoking Cessation

We both know why you’re reading this page…

You or someone you care about wants to finally be free of cigarettes or some other form of tobacco or nicotine.

You’re SO fed up!

…with the hassle, the expense, the smell, the stigma, and the gnawing worry about your health – usually in the back of your mind – but sometimes, front and center.

But you’re also afraid.

“What if I can’t do it?”
“What if the withdrawals and cravings are horrible?”
“I don’t want to gain weight.”
“How will I cope without it?”

You’ve tried to quit before… and failed. But part of you knows it must be possible, because so many other people have done it.

Maybe it was a health scare, or a death, or some other event that made you re-evaluate your life. Or maybe you’ve been trying to quit for years.

Don’t give up!

When you look at your family – your kids or grandkids – and you think about not being in their life anymore. And why?! Because of those damn cigarettes!

You know you must keep trying… for them. You can’t give up!

You desperately want to be there for them. You want them to know you, think fondly of you. You want them to see you as a good example… a role model they can be proud of.

Most would-be nonsmokers have tried to quit before.

Maybe you’ve tried to quit with the patches or the pills. Maybe you’ve tried cutting back or going “cold-turkey.” Maybe you’ve even tried some form of hypnosis.

Maybe you even succeeded… for a while.

Sadly, it’s common for people to quit for weeks, or months, or even years… only to find themselves somehow getting sucked back into the old trap again. If that describes you, I understand your pain, frustration, and fear.

The good news is… it doesn’t have to be that way. As far as I’m concerned, if your results didn’t last, something was left undone.

Cigarettes are seductive by design.

They promise to be there for you when you’re stressed… when you need to take a break or when you want to have fun.

But there’s a part of you that knows it’s all a big lie.

The truth is… cigarettes are an insidious and devious trap. Most people will need far more than willpower to escape and permanently remain free.

The good news is… it’s surprisingly easy to become a happy non-smoker for the rest of your life when you use my program. And you don’t need willpower!

According to science, hypnosis is a powerful tool to help people quit.

In fact, most people know someone who has quit smoking with hypnosis. There’s a very good reason for that reputation, because hypnosis works better than anything else.

But you don’t need to take my word for it…

The largest study ever done on smoking cessation was published in the Journal of Applied Psychology in October 1992. It was a statistical combination of the results of over 600 studies (known as a meta-analysis) involving roughly 72,000 people from the U.S. and Europe to compare various methods to quit smoking.

The clear result of that study was that hypnotherapy is by far the most effective way to stop smoking:

The study showed that, on average, hypnosis was over three times more effective than nicotine replacement methods (i.e., gum, lozenges, patches, vaping, etc.) and 15 times more effective than trying to quit with willpower alone.

Wow!

And there are lots of additional studies that support this one. If you’d like to see for yourself, let me know and I’d be happy to refer them to you.

Here’s why it’s so damn hard to quit…

Virtually all the other methods of smoking cessation fail to recognize a vital fact. Let’s face it: Smoking is a complex behavior with multiple parts. If you’re honest with yourself and you look carefully, you’ll notice these elements in your own situation.

Part of the smoking problem is an addiction (specifically to the drug nicotine). Counterintuitively, this is actually the easiest part of the smoking problem to overcome (when you know how).

Another big part of the smoking problem is very potent and very subtle “brainwashing” that fools smokers into believing that stopping will be a sacrifice. This “brainwashing” is a form of negative hypnosis and is in large part why the right kind of positive hypnosis works so well to fix it. This super important part is usually completely invisible to smokers. Many people who smoke will genuinely believe it when they say, “cigarettes relax me,” or “cigarettes are my best friend,” or “I enjoy smoking,” etc.

Finally, and more obviously, part of the smoking problem is habit. All those times you find yourself automatically reaching for a cigarette at specific times and in certain circumstances are examples of the power of habit. Hypnosis is the ideal way to replace this, too.

ALL these components must be thoroughly addressed or your results likely will not last.
