Can Smoking Habit be Treated with Hypnosis?

Tobacco use, particularly cigarette smoking, is the single most preventable cause of death in the United States and is responsible for a growing list of cancers as well as chronic diseases including those of the lung and heart.

Tobacco, whether smoked, chewed or sniffed, contains nicotine, which is highly addictive, and contains over 60 carcinogens and 4000 chemicals. About half of all Americans who continue to smoke will die because of the habit.

Hypnosis Most Effective Says Largest Study Ever: 3 Times as Effective as Patch and 15 Times as Effective as Willpower.

People who stop smoking at younger ages experience the greatest health benefits from quitting. Those who quit by age 35 avoid 90% of the risk due to tobacco use. However, even smokers who quit after age 50 substantially reduce their risk of dying early. The argument that it is too late to quit smoking because the damage is already done is not true.

Study of 71 smokers showed that after a two-year follow up, patients that quit with hypnosis were twice as likely to remain smoke-free than those who quit on their own.
Currently one out of four Americans smoke. Approximately 80% of adult smokers started smoking before the age of 18. Every day, 4,000 young people under the age of 18 try their first cigarette, with nearly 22% of all high school students smoking in 2003.

Breaking the Smoking Habit Through Hypnosis

I smoked for over 24 years and tried to quit on my own; I was using the nicotine patch and the occasional Xanax but the urges were strong and Xanax made me tired. During my last attempt, I struggled for 2 weeks before calling Tamara for hypnosis. It was the best decision I ever made! With hypnosis and the tool she gave me, I’ve been smoke-free for over 2 months! We met once, talked about habit and the hows and whens and whatnot, and I would have been hypnotized that day had I not taken a Xanax. So we met again, and one hour later, I no longer smoked! My urges are few and far between, and I use the tool Tamara shared and the urge goes away immediately. I couldn’t be happier! If you smoke and are considering hypnosis, you are lucky. Call Tamara. You won’t regret it. Sharon R.
