Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation
Smoking Cessation Hypnosis – Online Hypnotherapy Sessions
We’ve all heard that quitting smoking is the toughest thing you can do. And we know how hard it is to step out of the habit. Quitting smoking completely is not an easy task, but it’s possible with the use of hypnosis.
According to estimates from 2015, around 70% of adult tobacco smokers in the United States want to quit. Roughly 8% of adults managed to stop smoking for 6 – 12 months in 2018, despite the fact that more than half of adult smokers try to quit every year.
I can tell you all the reasons why you should quit smoking and you probably know most of them.
What’s in a cigarette? Ammonia, Arsenic, Benzene, Butane, Carbon Monoxide, Cyanide… I only got through the alphabet up to C but the list goes on.
Cigarettes are toxic. Cigarette smoke is made up of over 7,000 chemical compounds, many of which are harmful. In fact, cigarettes are the single most important source of preventable death in the United States.
As a result, smoking has a long history of causing health problems. Heart disease, lung disease, diabetes, and strokes have all been linked to smoking. Smoking increases your risk of several cancers as well.
Addiction to smoking, is it real?
Quitting smoking is difficult because nicotine is a central nervous system stimulant. It affects the dopamine and serotonin neurotransmitters in the brain, which make you feel pleasure.
The more nicotine you need to feel good, the more you smoke. Nicotine is highly addictive and it becomes integrated into your patterns and emotions quickly, becoming a part of your daily routine. Nicotine also increases your blood pressure and heart rate. Quitting can cause nicotine withdrawal, which can be really scary and overwhelming.
Is Nicotine Replacement Therapy a good option to quit smoking? Nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) is when you use nicotine in a different form, like nicotine patches or gum, to help wean yourself off cigarettes. NRT can be helpful because it gives you nicotine without all of the other harmful chemicals in cigarettes.
However, NRT only replaces the nicotine addiction—it doesn’t address the behavioral and emotional aspects of smoking. And quitting smoking is more than just quitting nicotine—it’s about changing your behavior and learning new coping mechanisms for stress.
How can Hypnosis help to quit smoking?
While nicotine addiction is a difficult habit to break, hypnosis has been shown to be an effective treatment option. Hypnosis can help people to overcome nicotine addiction by working with the conscious and subconscious mind. A typical program of hypnosis for quitting smoking may include weekly sessions lasting 60-90 minutes over the course of several weeks.
Hypnosis can help you quit smoking by helping to clear your desire to smoke, increase willpower, build self-confidence, and reduce anxiety about quitting. That’s why many people consider it one of the most effective ways to stop smoking completely.
Studies have shown that the effectiveness of hypnosis programs for smoking cessation is high for those who are genuinely seeking to quit. Results from a randomized controlled trial show that at 12 months, the self-reported 7-day point-prevalence quit success rate was 24% for the hypnosis group and 16% for the behavioral group.
When you ultimately decide to quit smoking, here are some beneficial changes in your body:
- After 8 hours, the Carbon Monoxide level drops to normal and the oxygen level in the blood increases to normal.
- After 24 hours, the chance of a heart attack is significantly decreased.
- After 48 hours nerve endings begin to re-grow and the ability to smell and taste improves.
- After 72 hours, the bronchial tubes begin to relax and lung capacity begins to increase.
- 2 weeks to 3 months, circulation in the body improves and lung functions increase up to 30%
- 1-9 months, Coughing, sinus congestion, fatigue, and shortness of breath decrease. Cilia is re-grown in the lungs.
- 5 years, the Lung cancer death rate decreases, and after 10 years to almost the rate of a person who never smoked.

Wondering how hypnosis works? Hypnosis is a trance state in which the person is more receptive to therapeutic suggestions. Professional hypnotherapists use it to help people quit smoking by focusing on the desired internal and external conditions. Hypnotherapists can then develop a positive self-perception, reframing of smoking behavior and relapses, and post-hypnotic suggestions to connect cognitive and emotional sensations in trance with daily life.

Once you’re committed to quit smoking, hypnosis sessions can be that extra support you need to become a non-smoker, with long-term results. While it’s true that hypnosis is not a magic wand, it does have many benefits in helping people quit their smoking habit. Hypnotherapy can help change the way you think about smoking and cravings, which can lead to successful quitting. Additionally, hypnosis can also provide support during the early stages of quitting so that you remain motivated and on track.
There is no denying that nicotine replacement therapy can be an effective tool in quitting smoking. It has been shown to be more effective than going cold turkey, and it can help to ease some of the withdrawal symptoms and side effects associated with quitting. However, using hypnotherapy in conjunction may be a better option for those who are looking to break the addiction from within the mind.
