According to U.S. News and World Report, hypnotherapy might help people mitigate the amount they smoke. A 2008 study by Timothy Carmody of University of California-San Francisco found that smokers who underwent hypnosis had more success in quitting smoking than those who did not. As of 2010, not enough studies exist to determine the long-term effectiveness of hypnosis smoking cessation therapy. Smoking addiction is a lifelong problem for many people and hypnosis might only provide a temporary solution. Additionally, hypnosis likely only works with other treatment, such as a nicotine patch. As a standalone therapy, hypnosis probably cannot cure your smoking habit, however, it can increase the effectiveness of other cessation treatments. If you attempt to stop smoking through hypnosis, you should have another treatment in mind that can help you stop smoking throughout the course of your lifetime.
