Stop Smoking Through Self Hypnosis

During the past ten years, doctors and governments have been emphasizing the many dangers of smoking to health, ranging from respiratory ailments, heart disease and cancer. However, smoking is one of the most difficult bad habits to curb. People in whom the nicotine patch and other forms of therapy failed have discovered how to get rid of this nasty habit through self hypnosis.

Smoking has become a habit in many individuals because of the addiction to nicotine and its stimulatory effects so that they are able to relieve stress and get through their hectic day. Self hypnosis works by making the subconscious “recognize” what a disgusting habit smoking is and its potential dangers to health.

In the case of smoking, self hypnosis scripts should be positive and progressive. Scripts like “I will stop smoking” are not effective because they are too general and do not have a directed goal. The best scripts include “I will cut down 1 cigarette from the 1 pack daily that I smoke”. If you are successful in this goal, your next script can be “I will now cut down to 2-3 cigarettes.” If you feel the urge to smoke, try visualization. Imagine yourself smoking – the choking smell of the cigarette smoke and the bad breath that accompanies it.
