If you are someone who is trying to quit smoking cigarettes, you know how tough it is to break this harmful compulsion. However, it is possible, and half of all adult smokers will succeed in quitting smoking forever. Many smokers succeed in quitting smoking cigarettes by replacing them with new, more positive habits without having to experience withdrawal symptoms. By far, the easiest and most effective method to stop smoking and accomplish this end is hypnosis.

Stop smoking hypnosis is one of the most commonly practiced forms of hypnotherapy. It is often cited as a tool for quitting smoking along with strategies such as nicotine replacement therapy and other popular means. It works to end the smoking addiction by combating cravings to smoke, motivating you to stay committed to quitting, and promoting relaxation and stress relief so you will not feel the urge to smoke.

The smoking addiction is made up of both physiological and psychological aspects. The physiological addiction is a physical need the body develops to nicotine. This aspect of the addiction is what causes the withdrawal symptoms that make it seem near impossible to stop smoking. However, this is a short, temporary part in the overall progression of quitting the habit, which lasts only between three days and one week. By the end of this period, your body acclimates to regular, nicotine-free functioning. Based on thirty years of experience, I believe that the physical need for nicotine makes up only ten percent of the addiction to cigarettes.

By far, the most challenging part of quitting smoking is overcoming the psychological addiction, which are the mental and emotional aspects of smoking. I believe this constitutes ninety percent of the tobacco addiction. When you develop a smoking habit, you unconsciously develop a desire to smoke in certain environments, such as when watching TV. This is called a conditioned response. Stop smoking hypnotherapy works to eliminate the unconscious associations that cause one to crave cigarettes, thereby eliminating the conditioned response to smoke. Hypnosis also helps you stay motivated to quit smoking by strengthening the beliefs that gave you the desire to stop smoking in the first place.

Smokers get stuck in the habit of lighting up and smoking. This is why people who try to stop smoking using nicotine patches or gums alone generally are unable to quit. They rapidly overcome the physical addiction, but they have no relief or replacement for the ritual of smoking cigarettes, which has become a psychological addiction and comforting source of stress relief. Self-hypnosis techniques eliminate this mental addiction and serve as stress reducers as well. As a relaxation tool, hypnosis helps effectively relieve anxiety and stress so you will lose the cravings for cigarettes.

Used in combination with powerful NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques, stop smoking hypnotherapy can keep you motivated to stop smoking by training your unconscious to focus on the benefits of quitting. Eliminating tobacco benefits you in many ways. Within days of quitting, body parts damaged by smoking begin to heal, damaged nerves re-grow, and the sense of taste and smell improves. Within weeks, circulation and lung function improve. Within a year, your risk of heart disease is less than half that of a smoker. Within five to fifteen years, the risk of stroke is the same as a non-smoker. Your risk of heart disease is the same as someone who has never smoked at all, and your risk of death from lung cancer and a number of other cancer risks have decreased.

Despite the harmful effects of smoking and the health benefits of quitting, some smokers never overcome their harmful addiction. For the most part, this is because they've never really made a decision to quit. Other smokers are often afraid to suffer from withdrawal symptoms or let go of the smoking habit. Quitting smoking does not have to be the agonizing process that makes so many smokers reluctant to even try quitting. Hypnotherapy provides a very simple, natural technique for quitting.

Hypnotherapy is an effective tool for eliminating cravings for cigarettes, creating powerful motivation, and promoting relaxation and stress relief to eliminate the psychological part of the smoking addiction. Hypnosis techniques to stop smoking can be learned from specialized self-hypnosis CDs that have been developed after decades of using hypnosis, NLP, and Neuro-VISION video hypnotherapy to help people give up smoking.

Whatever your motivation is for breaking the habit, hypnotherapy makes it easier to focus your mind on these reasons, which makes you feel a strong urge to quit.
