Hypnosis is a powerful tool to quit smoking

When you’re ready to stop smoking, hypnosis is a powerful tool.  Smoking has a multitude of negative side effects, including: damaging the heart and lungs, causing cancer, causing your voice to change, yellowing of your fingers and teeth and causing premature aging.  Not only is smoking is very expensive, but the odor of cigarette smoke can affect your relationships and your career.

Below are studies that show the effectiveness of smoking cessation hypnosis.  You’ll see hypnosis, when compared to other methods to quit smoking, is the most powerful tool available.

90.6% Success Rate for Smoking Cessation Using Hypnosis
Of 43 consecutive patients undergoing this treatment protocol, 39 reported remaining abstinent from tobacco use at follow-up (6 months to 3 years post-treatment). This represents a 90.6% success rate using hypnosis.

87% Reported Abstinence From Tobacco Use With Hypnosis

81% Reported They Had Stopped Smoking After Hypnosis

Hypnosis Most Effective Says Largest Study Ever: 3 Times as Effective as Patch and 15 Times as Effective as Willpower.
Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. A meta-analysis, statistically combining results of more than 600 studies of 72,000 people from America and Europe to compare various methods of quitting. On average, hypnosis was over three times as effective as nicotine replacement methods and 15 times as effective as trying to quit alone.
