Why not? What have you got to loose. Except your mind. Well what the hell has your mind ever done for you anyway. I use my gut to think. If it doesn’t feel right in the gut it doesn’t happen.
I wouldn’t trust hypnotism. That’s freaky something happens to you mentally but you don’t know what.
Some people take to it quickly , you would have to go to a therapist and see how you do when under , it does work, but not on everyone .
Just quit. Or if you can’t I’ve heard that doctors can prescribe meds for stopping smoking. Or get someone to pray for you. I just wouldn’t trust a stranger meddling with my mind.
It’s relatively harmless, but it’s pretty much a placebo. You have to believe it will work. Good luck! As a smoker myself, I’d love to quit but I never make it past 6 days anymore.

Hi Maximina!
Decide what cigarette is going to be your last ahead of time, and then just stop right then.
Take up a new habit to replace that one, maybe skydiving?
Running, or something that will keep your mind off of smoking.
Start eating an orange every time you crave a cigarette.
Not too many though…..lol
Find things for your hands to do!
Call a friend, take up kayaking, learn to fly, just find something to help you stay occupied.
I’ve been trying to quit smoking for years. I haven’t tried hypnotism, but it’s on my to-do list…. Let me know if you try it, as I’d like to know how it works.
Oops!
I forgot to tell you about hypnotism.
From what I understand, it doesn’t have a very high success rate, but I will check quickly and get back to you.
Thank you all so much.The cost is a big thing with me,I will try to see it as a investment……..Shakey,as always your humor comes through.I know you didn’t mean it to be funny,but its funny cuz Most of those things are highly unlikely for me.when you get to know me better,you will know what i mean.Maybe the oranges,if you get my drift.lol……penn, I never made it past an hour.Now youknow how bad it is.and how much you have surpassed me.lolSo ‘KUDOS’ to you for the 6 days!…Dragon lady,I will try to keep you posted…….Mas,that must have been annoying.I already have ringing,dont need ringing birds.lol.Thanks again everyone :)
Kim… I think you might have heard me say… It took me 30 seconds to quit smoking. It’s very true… I went cold turkey… and was finished easily in 30 seconds. It was the first 30 seconds after the Doctor came into my emergency room and confirmed that I was indeed having a heart attack as we spoke, and that I would need to be rushed to San Francisco for emergency treatment. (I live an hour away from SF - I thought I was an hour away from death). Now that is a method I do not recommend to everyone, and I don’t recommend it to you - it can be very painful, and really such a pain in the a$$. I mention it ONLY, because ultimately it will be one of your choices - IF YOU ARE LUCKY, as I was.
Cold turkey… it takes one week max. Every time you want a smoke… reach for a bottle of water instead. It’s got the hand mouth thing going on for ya… AND it’s helping to flush out all the toxins. They say it only takes 3 days to flush out the toxins if you drink enough water. After that week… a toothpick can be your friend for a while. If you have a craving to munch (as many do) make up a supply of carrot and celery sticks - they are perfect. But most importantly drink water. Most smokers do not drink much… so drinking more water can be difficult too… but it is a must!

my father quit smoking and he found that gum was a great mouth appeal satisfier.
I don’t trust hypnosis on technical grounds.
Richard,I do remember you saying that,now.I bet lots of people don’t know about the ‘water’thing,I didn’t,and Im guilty,I just said it today in fact’I should drink more water than I do’ lol.Thanks hun :)
spiratec,what do you mean ‘technical grounds’? if you dont mind:/
In response to your question though Kim… Hypnosis is a very viable treatment used often by therapists today. I honestly do not know much of the mechanics about it. I would imagine that it would have to be as someone above mentioned … you have to be open to it. It may take one or more visits I suppose based on your own openness. One thing… it is legit. It’s not some carny show anymore
Smoking is a very Bad Habit. My father is smoking since he was 16 yrs old. He is a chain smoker. He smoked more than 20 cigarettes per day. One day when he was sleeping, he suddenly stood up and was not able to breathe. My mom was much worried. She gave her water and honey etc. things to drink/eat. It was because of excess amount of Nicotine in his lungs. After that he felt some better. And was able to sleep. After that, ma mom was very worried and tried to quit hi smoking and asked for ma serious help. I contacted his frnds not to offer him any cigarette. Now he is much better and smoke only 3-5 cigarettes per day. My father is a chain smoker but i m not coz i know that its dangerous.
So, U should really do something to quit it. Not Hypnotism but ur Will Power. And about ur daughter, this can be very dangerous. U should also quit her smoking.
I hope this will help u.
Ur frnd
QASH.
