I need to quit smoking please help?
August 7th, 2011
I have cut back from a pack a day to 2-5 a day 3 months ago. I just can’t seem to go all the way and give them up. I am considering going to a hypnotist (my aunt did this 15yrs. ago and has not had the urge to smoke again). Has anyone else done this method before and if so what were your results?

I have heard about this hypnosis thing as well my friends mom did it too and hasn’t smoked since. Well if it does work let me know because I’m still trying to get my sister to quit smoking.
I have not tried hypnosis. I began smoking at the age of 15 and finally quit for good at the age of 57 (a year ago), when I was at a pack a day. Even tho’ all the experts say you have to go cold turkey, I think that just increases the craving. This is how I did it. Everytime I wanted a cigarette, I only smoked half of it. So, I immediately cut my intake in half. After a few weeks of doing that (gives your body time to adjust to less nicotine), I would only take about 4 puffs, put it out and save it for the next craving. After a few weeks of that, I went to 2 puffs, then one puff (where one cigarette could last me a day or two). My body gradually got used to doing without the nicotine and I got to a point where I said, “when this pack is done, I’m not buying anymore”. That was a year ago. Recently, I stayed with my son, who smokes, and took a drag off his cigarette. I didn’t like the taste and it hurt my throat. If I can do it, you can do it, because I loved smoking!!!
