Stop Smoking Permanently With Hypnosis and Emotional Freedom Technique

Dear Dr. Eugenia,
I have tried everything to stop smoking: acupuncture, filters, the patch you name it. Eight months ago, at the encouragement of a friend, I tried hypnosis and it worked. I had two sessions, and felt really good. There were no cravings and my energy started coming back. Then, I went through a divorce and I'm smoking again. I have a new home and I don't want it to smell like smoke so I end up smoking outside or in the garage and it's too hot this time of the year. I'm starting to get angry with myself and feel stuck again. I'm tired of this habit.Can hypnosis help me this time for good?

Answer:
In our experience about 95% of people who smoke are successful in their effort to stop smoking when they have more than one therapy option available to them.People differ in the way they react to stressful situations and they can be caught "off guard" by a crisis, such as a death, a divorce, a move, loss of a job, even a bad day at work.
Our research, which began in 1985 has clearly shown that a combination of at least two treatment methods, such as Hypnosis and Emotional Freedom Technique, maximizes your success, up to 95% , regardless of how many times one tries to quit smoking.
You can be taught specific ways to "disconnect" any associations between stressful feelings and cravings for cigarettes, through EFT and Hypnosis. This way you would feel assured that no matter what happens, you are now free of cigarettes and have become a NON SMOKER FOR LIFE.

Stop Smoking: Success With Hypnosis

Dear Dr. Andrews,
I hope you can help me because I don't know what to do about my smoking. I have been a smoker for 35 years and find it impossible to quit. Right now, I'm using the gum and it's not helping. Is Nicorette Gum any good ? I find that it causes me to become nauseous.
Is there anything else I can do to stop smoking?

Answer:
According to American Cancer Society, 90% of those who smoke would like to quit, and have tried at least once. Most people believe they "should" be strong enough to quit by themselves. However, studies have shown that smokers who get help from an effective program using hypnosis are much more likely to quit with no unwanted side effects, and to remain smoke free, than those who quit on their own. The success rate of clients in our program is close to 96%.
The program is easy, and effortless and uses no substitutes or drugs. Part of the success of the program comes from the one year support, which is part of the original investment. The Nicorette Gum is nicotine introduced into the system by absorption. There have been several side effects documented concerning the use of the "gum". If you are trying to kick the addictive habit of nicotine, why take nicotine in a different form? Few if any have been successful using this this method.
When choosing a program for Smoking Cessation, you might consider a multi-dimensional approach that deals with the nicotine addiction,without drugs, side effects or long term financial cost and which provides psychological support.
