How Hypnosis to Quit Smoking Can Help You Succeed

Smoking can be a tough habit to break. Millions around the world and about one out of five adults currently smoke. Tobacco in all its forms can be potentially dangerous, and smoking is to blame for as many as 20 percent of deaths in some countries. Globally, as many as 15 percent of deaths can be linked to tobacco. If you are ready to kick the habit, online hypnosis can help.

The Benefits of Kicking the Smoking Habit

Tobacco use is more than just another bad habit. The nicotine contained in tobacco is a known addictive substance. It is easily absorbed into your bloodstream when you draw the smoke into your lungs. The nicotine triggers the release of feel-good hormones, such as dopamine and adrenaline. Your heart rate and blood pressure increase. Once the effects wear off, you may feel edgy or irritated, which can lead to cravings for more nicotine to bring back the good feelings. Cravings are hard to manage on your own, which is why hypnosis for bad habits can be so beneficial.

Over time, your body adapts to the nicotine, and you need more to get the same feel-good effects. When you try to quit, you are likely to suffer from withdrawal symptoms, such as headaches, irritability, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and depression. By using hypnosis to quit smoking, you can address the withdrawal symptoms and manage your cravings, giving yourself the edge you need to overcome your bad habits.

Quitting can improve not just your sense of wellbeing but also your health by:

• Reducing your heart rate and blood pressure
• Improving circulation and lung function
• Lowering your risk of coronary heart disease
• Reducing your risk of stroke

Even if you have been smoking for many years, quitting now can add years to your life and improve your health and wellbeing.

Quitting smoking often takes more than willpower, and many people struggle repeatedly to quit before they can kick the habit for good.

Researchers have studied the effectiveness of hypnosis as a therapeutic technique, including stress management, depression, and addiction. In one study focused on hypnosis to quit smoking, more than half of those who used hypnosis were smoke-free after a week and half of that group had maintained their abstinence for two years.

In another study, smokers used either hypnosis or counseling combined with nicotine replacement patches. At six months, 29 percent of the hypnotherapy group abstained while 23 percent of the counseling group abstained. Using biochemical confirmation, researchers found that 26 percent of the hypnotherapy group had continued to abstain from smoking while just 18 percent of the counseling group had abstained.

According to one U.S. survey, about 70 percent of smokers want to quit in any given year, and more than half try to do so but only 7 percent succeed in quitting for 6 months or more. Hypnosis for bad habits can give you the edge you need to succeed, curbing your cravings, calming your stress, and boosting your motivation.
