'Hypnosis is the most effective way of
giving up smoking"
- New Scientist ( vol 136)
Hypnotherapy is proven to be the most effective way to give up smoking.
Contrary to claims from some hypnotherapists though,it
does require some will-power and motivation.
However it is proven that
with hypnotherapy you are at least five to fifteen
times more likely to succeed than by willpower alone.
In 1992 New Scientist Magazine published
the results of an extensive clinical study on the most effective stop smoking methods. A meta-analysis, statistically combining the
results of more than 600 studies (over 72,000 individual cases) showed
that single session hypnosis increased a smoker's success chance by
1000% from 6% to 60%. Here are the success rates for different smoking
cessation methods:
60% - Single session Hypnosis
24% - Acupuncture
10% - Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT)
6% - Willpower alone
