DESIRE - A necessity! You must first WANT to quit. This doesn't mean you don't like to smoke. But don't expect hypnosis to work if you are only "trying it" because someone else wants you to quit. You must be at a point in your life where YOU are ready to quit for yourself. The Hypnotist cannot MAKE You Quit Smoking.
PREPARATION – Follow all the instructions that you are given in your Hypnosis Session. Do your homework if given any. Use your reinforcement hypnosis CD's.
COMMITMENT - Having a strong desire to quit means that you will do whatever is necessary to quit smoking. If you are really committed to quitting, you will read any material given to you and listen to your audio cd’s, get rid of all smoking materials and keep your follow-up appointments.
POSITIVE ATTITUDE - If you think you can or think you can't, you're absolutely right! Hypnosis is a great tool to help make the transition easier without strong withdrawal pangs and cravings. There is no "try." There is only "do" or "don't do." Expect to succeed and you will. You will feel very proud of your accomplishment!
HOW SUCCESSFUL IS Hypnosis to Stop Smoking?
Hypnosis has been proven to be the most effective means of smoking cessation. According to the "American Journal of clinical Hypnotherapy," in a 1968 study involving 1000 smokers, after using three hypnosis sessions, 94% were still nonsmokers after 18 months. In 1992, "New Scientist Magazine" reported success rates for the various methods of smoking cessation: 60% were successful with only one hypnosis session and 30% using only a recorded hypnosis session. Compare that to 24% who used only acupuncture, 29% with exercise and breathing therapy, 25% with aversion therapy, 10% with nicotine replacement therapy (gum or patches), and 6% who used willpower alone.

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.
