I was a smoker for 50 years. I had hypnotherapy on 22 Sep 23 to quit smoking. I have not had a cigarette for 13 weeks. The whole process has been relatively easy. I still think about smoking. I still want a cigarette when I smell one. But due to the hypnotherapy has been relatively easy to dismiss those thoughts and I have never been tempted to buy a pack. I recommend hypnotherapy to quit smoking. It has worked for me, with no side affects.
