Many smokers succeed in quitting smoking cigarettes by replacing them with new, positive habits without having to experience withdrawal symptoms.

It helps end the smoking addiction by combating cravings to smoke, keeping you committed to quitting, and promoting relaxation and stress relief so you will not feel the need to smoke. The smoking addiction is made up of both psychological and physiological aspects. The physiological addiction is a physical need the body acquires for nicotine. This aspect of the addiction is what causes the physical withdrawal symptoms that make it seem near impossible to stop smoking. However, this is a short, temporary stage in the overall process of quitting the habit, which lasts only between three days and one week. By the end of this period of time, your body adjusts to usual, nicotine-free functioning. Based on thirty years of experience, I believe that the physical addiction to nicotine represents a mere ten percent of the addiction to cigarette smoking.By far, the most challenging part of breaking the smoking addiction 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 before going to bed. This is called a conditioned response. Stop smoking hypnosis works to eliminate the unconscious associations that cause you to crave cigarettes, thereby eliminating the conditioned response to smoke. Hypnotherapy also helps you stay motivated to quit smoking by reinforcing the ideas that gave you the wish to stop smoking in the first place. Smokers get stuck impulsively 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 soon overcome the physical withdrawal, but they have no relief or replacement for the ritual of smoking, which has become a psychological addiction and comforting source of stress relief. Hypnosis techniques eliminate this mental addiction and serve as stress reducers as well. As a relaxation tool, hypnosis helps effectively relieve stress and anxiety so you will lose the cravings for cigarettes.By adding some powerful NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) techniques, stop smoking hypnosis can keep you committed to breaking the habit by training the unconscious mind to focus on the benefits of quitting. Eliminating tobacco benefits you in a great number of 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 significantly. Within a few weeks, lung function and blood circulation improve. Within one 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 the risk of dying from lung cancer and numerous other cancer risks have decreased.In spite of the dangers of smoking and the benefits of quitting, some smokers never overcome their addiction. For the most part, this is because they have never really committed to quitting. Other smokers are afraid to suffer through withdrawal symptoms or let go of the smoking habit. But quitting smoking does not have to be the difficult process that makes so many smokers hesistant to even try quitting. Hypnosis is a very simple, natural method of quitting. Hypnotherapy is a powerful implement for easing cravings for cigarettes, providing powerful motivation, and promoting relaxation and stress relief to completely eliminate the psychological aspects of the smoking habit.
