   I am a physiotherapist (with NLP). I also have been trained by the NHS as a stop smoking adviser.
   I get a very high success rate about double that of patches. I check up with a follow up call.
   The factors are:
   It it you who wants to stop or are you just pleasing another?
   It seems to be harder for people who smoke only a few (10 or less)
   How much you trust the hypnotherapist
   How much you deal with the factors which make you smoke

   My mam did she also got a CD of the session she had so when she felt like she wanted a tab she would go up stairs listen to the CD then she would be OK for a while. She started to smoke again when my aunt was really poorly

   I was a very heavy smoker, 40 a day for 25 years. I didn’t want to give up but my fiancee did, so we visited a hypnotherapist. He hypnotised me, which was weird, as it feels like nothings happening, and i haven’t touched a ciggy since. The first few days were hell, but he gave me a relaxation tape to listen to, which helped, and we went back for a second session 5 days later. From that moment on i have had no desire to have a ciggy and that was 3 years ago. Before this i had tryed everything, patches, gum, accupuncture, the works and nothing worked. Good luck it worked for me but the girlfriend started again after 2 years.

   I had a girl friend it worked on and my mother it didn’t . So I guess it depends on how long you have been smoking and how much you want to quit

   Apparently that’s how singer Lily Allen quit smoking. I’d be interested to try it. Sorry I haven’t personally tried it.

   I’ve tried it and it didn’t work but I’m sure it has worked for some people and also depends how badly you want to give up.
