Hypnosis And Smoking Cessation

Smoking is one of the most challenging habits to break. Many people find it very difficult to stop smoking, so much so that research shows it can take a person nearly thirty attempts to achieve success. Every year, millions of dollars are spent on medications that claim to aid smoking cessation. Still, hypnosis is one of the most effective ways to kick the habit.

What Is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis can be described as entering an absorbed and focused state of attention, where a person becomes more receptive to new ideas. When led by a trained hypnotist, hypnosis is a process that is used to help people naturally achieve desired results. Hypnosis is often used to address breaking habits like smoking.

Some hypnosis methods may strengthen a person's will to quit smoking, weaken the desire to smoke, or help a person focus on a program to help them quit smoking.

How Hypnosis Aids In Smoking Cessation

Quite often, quitting smoking involves using replacement products like gum, patches, or inhalers that include nicotine and some people just switch to vaping which has a whole host of other issues. Instead, hypnosis teaches you to break your negative thought patterns and behaviors associated with smoking rather than replacing it with harmful chemicals in your body.

Hypnosis may also target unconscious motivations for smoking, like reducing stress and boredom or the desire to smoke socially. The mindful approach may also target unconscious smoking triggers like drinking alcohol, driving, or finishing a meal. Research suggests that a person's success with quitting smoking may also be caused by the relaxation effects of the hypnosis itself, which aids in their ability to change all sorts of unwanted habits.

Suggestive Nature Of Hypnosis Aids In Breaking Bad Habits

Although how hypnosis helps with smoking cessation is debated among scientists, several hypotheses explain why it can be helpful in the breaking of bad habits.
