There are many good research reasons why hypnosis is your best smoking cessation option. For example, a meta-study of 600 studies shows that hypnosis is 15 times better than cold turkey and 3 times better than nicotine replacement therapy.

But there are better reasons to use hypnosis. The best reason is that you are a person. Most of the reasons you smoke are caused by human factors, not some brain addiction.

I am sure you realize that most of your daily cigarettes are related to people, places, time and events.

You relax on the outdoor balcony, you light up, not because you suddenly lack nicotine, but because you have a smoking association on your balcony, and it is likely to be a specific chair.

You go outside and sit in a chair so you can smoke because that's what you have done many times before.

If you want to analyze your daily smoking habits, you will find that most of your cigarettes are related to other things.

Studies have shown that the best way to create new habits is to link the habits required to another common activity. As time goes by, we build new habits

Your smoking is exactly the same. You are smoking when you are on the phone, driving or drinking coffee or a glass of wine.

All of this is just a habit of being re-enforced countless times, until you feel that you can't do these things without cigarettes, which is why smoking cessation feels so difficult.

Hypnosis is the core of these habits. The difference is that although it takes some time to establish your smoking connection or even a positive habit, hypnosis will allow you to give up these smoking habits usually in one or two meetings.

The best news is that hypnosis is stress-free and painless. The only requirement is that you want to make the necessary changes and that you are fully committed to completing the process.

There may be a short period of time after quitting smoking, and it is often a bit strange to not smoke. But remember, every day you are a non-smoker and you will re-establish a new habit, such as sitting on the balcony without cigarettes, maybe a cup of tea or beer.

To make it easier, sitting in different chairs can be costly, and this may seem trivial. As a habit, small things can play an important role.
