*** Do Not Quit Smoking! Click Here *** Many people ask the question does smoking cessation hypnosis work? Many people have tried all of the quit smoking products on the market including Nicotine patches, various cigarette substitutes and other kinds of oral substitutes like gum and candies with varied success - mostly ineffectual. A person really needs to want to quit before any kind of smoking cessation therapy will work. Many times smokers will have a hacking cough that sounds horrible that will last for years and will laugh it off as having a cold. The only problem is that colds only last for several days not years. With the price of cigarettes breaking the five dollar barrier many more people are starting to think about quitting smoking to save money but the habit is very hard to break. Nicotine is one of the most addicting chemicals that are legal to ingest. By quitting smoking a person will find a great number of benefits including the return of their taste buds. A person who quits smoking will find that they no longer need as many condiments or salt and pepper to flavor their food. They will also find that their sense of small has become sharper and they can appreciate the smell of flowers and other great odors from cooking that they did not realize they were missing. After a few weeks the former smokers will find that their years long "cold" has disappeared and they will have more energy and will be more alert. How does a smoker go from complete addiction to nonsmoker? It all starts with a small reason to quit. It could be as simple as wanting to be able to taste food again or to stop coughing. Or the smoker may want to just make the air in their own home a little better. Here are some statistics about the various methods of quitting smoking - trying to quit on your own (5%), using behavior therapy (25%), and nicotine replacement therapy (25%) and hypnosis (66%). Therapies that claim an almost 100% success rate are just taking your money. Smoking cessation hypnosis has been show to have an almost two thirds success rate as long as the patient has at least four sessions. I have seen recommendations that show the success rate will reach the two thirds levels as long as the therapist is also a licensed psychologist. Using hypnotherapy and supplementing it with smoking cessation audio CDs will help you achieve your goal.About the Author:
