After being hypnotized did the cravings go away faster than quitting with other options? I'm sure you tried to quit other ways prior to this. Thanks

That’s Craptacular
Yeah I wonder if hypnosis for quitting really works long term.

UpsEmployeeNA,
I have been smoke free for a long, long time.
It is simple but not easy.
Don't pick up one cigarette ever, one day at a time and you will stay stopped.
Often these types of addictions can't be handled alone.
I got help to stop because I needed help.
Sincerely,
I

Going through this problem right now. Used to smoke like 2 or 3 a day and now almost a whole pack.

Yes I tried many times, nothing worked. Every once in a while it smells good and I'd love to have one, then I'll run into the chain smoker who smells horrible and it turns my stomach. I chew gum, eat mints, do whatever while I'm working to keep my mind of it. I do have an e-cig that I hit occasionally when I'm super stressed. All that being said, I will never have another one. I do believe the hypnosis helped me convince myself of that. Hope that helps.

I have lost count of how many "quit smoking" kits I have delivered.

As for long term, I'm smoke free for two years. I quit for short periods many times and have never been more confident than I do now that I will never smoke again. Now, if I could just stay out of the casino......

I don't see how quiting smoking can be hard, smokeless tobacco on the other hand, is my choice of poison, I suppose it's all in what you take a liking to. I honestly believe smoking is more harmful, however there's always a risk in EVERYTHING

I've quit every bad habit I ever had. I still have a few habits but as of right now I don't consider them bad.

You are applying logic, common sense and rational though processes to an addiction.
I have never been a smoker, but I am plenty familiar with the concept of addiction and it is not something that you can simply think or analyze your way out of.

My daughter has been smoke free for two years now, she switched from cigarettes to "vaping" with e-cigarettes, and gradually decreased the nicotine level of the fluid down to nothing over a 6 month period. Her boyfriend quit smoking the same way but he still uses the e-cigarettes. I am a big fan of the e-cigarettes, they are a much healthier alternative to tobacco and they don't stink. Not saying they are perfect, but they are by far the lesser of evils versus cigarettes or chewing tobacco.
