Giving Up Smoking

“Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times”.

- Mark Twain is one of my favorite authors and this is one of his famous amusing quotes. Many smokers who have tried to give up will hear the truth in his humor, but will also know that it’s not very funny at all if you genuinely want to quit. Mark Twains funny betrays the division that so many people have in their lives. There are so many smokers who want to quit, but light up 15 to 25 times a day and each time say to them selves, ‘why am I doing this? I hate it! I wish I could quit this damn habit’. This is why hypnosis is such a good tool in this situation, when the client is in a deep relaxed hypnotic trance their subconscious mind is accessible to the hypnotist & direct suggestions of change can be embedded. It’s not uncommon for a heavy smoking habit of decades to be decimated with in an hour or so.
