Hypnosis to Quit Smoking

Stop Smoking Today!

Thousands of people world-wide have been able to use hypnosis to quit smoking.

However, despite the wide ranging and unsupportable claims of 100% success rate by many therapists offering hypnotherapy for smoking cessation, the fact is there is no scientific study that confirms hypnosis (or any other method, to the best of our knowledge) is 100% effective.

On the positive side, if you are committed to become a non-smoker, and choose to stop smoking through hypnosis, science confirms that you are making the best possible decision.

But don’t take our word for that. Before you book an appointment with Gold Coast Hypnosis to use hypnotherapy to quit smoking, consider the following extract from a report produced by Schmidt and Viswesvaran of the University of Iowa USA after an exhaustive meta study of 600 other research projects covering some 70,000 people (including 48 studies of hypnosis covering 6,000 people).

This study which also concluded that hypnosis was 3 times more effective than Nicotine Replacement Therapy such as using patches, was published in the US Journal of Applied Psychology.

There are a number of ways you can use hypnosis to quit smoking. You are likely to get the best possible outcome by discussing the available approaches with us before you decide to begin the intervention work. For some people who smoke more than one pack per day, an hypnosis based withdrawal program might be indicated, while we have also had significant success with single-session approaches, especially for those who used to smoke no more than a pack a day.

There is a remarkable body of evidence that smoking is responsible for the premature death of some 30% of people in developed countries between the ages of 35 and 69, taking from them an average of 23 years of life (an article on this appears in the medical journal The Lancet 339 issue 8804 pp 1,268-1,278).

Needless to say, the negative effects of smoking in your life are numerous.
