The above can be very typical experience. So for many people who stop smoking with hypnosis, they do not have any withdrawals. Naturally we are all unique so for some they may have a different experience and still stop.

The typical belief is that smokers feel that they are addicted to the chemicals (see a list here) in cigarettes such as nicotine; the fact is that nicotine is completely gone from your body after 72 hours.

You are more likely smoking because you are getting something psychologically out of it, for example you feel that it helps with stress, or maybe it just gives you a moment to relax by yourself –or with others. Or even sociably you can ‘fit in’ and be part of the group. And for some It may be just to relieve boredom.

When you smoke, the chemicals in the cigarette help release the natural chemicals in your brain, so for a brief moment you may feel better. So you build up an association for what that cigarette is doing for you. And over years of practice this then becomes habitual.

The good news is that we help you by communicating to your unconscious through hypnosis. Your unconscious is where our emotional patterns are held and habits can be changed. We help your unconscious know that its ok to stop smoking and that you will not lose anything but gain so much more…and we help you realise this potential.

When your unconscious knows that it’s ok to stop smoking and you begin to experience the benefits of someone who no longer smokes…then you will simply have now withdrawal symptoms.
