I had hypnotherapy to quit smoking - it was the best thing I could have done! I think it helped that I had come to a point in my life where I knew I was ready to stop, and I used hypnotherapy as that final push to quit completely.

I now use the anchors my hypnotherapist taught me if I ever get that desire to smoke! I'd say give it a go if you’re trying to quit.
