Stop Smoking

Hypnosis is a fast and effective way to stop smoking

Here on Harley Street I extend you the respect of not preaching to you nor scaring you into stopping smoking. I know that if you have arrived at this page you are already seriously considering kicking the habit for good and you know the serious health risks of continuing to smoke. For that reason I am not going to patronise you with a list of reasons to stop smoking, nor a long list of shocking statistics. I prefer to provide you with a series of links (below) to official websites and statistics should you wish to consult them.
My Smoking Cessation specialists On Harley Street have been invited on board because they have a proven track record in using hypnosis for smoking cessation and are qualified and experienced in this specialist area.

Hypnotherapy is widely recognised as the most effective way to stop smoking. A study carried out by Frank Scmidt and a research student Chockalingham Viswesvaran from the University of Iowa in the United States, used the results of 633 studies incorporating 71,806 participants. Their results which were published in the Journal of Applied Psychology included 48 studies of hypnosis carried out in Scandinavia, America and several other European countries, covering 6000 smokers.

Smoking cessation is one of the most searched for hypnotherapy treatments.

The results showed conclusively that hypnosis was three times more effective than nicotine replacement therapy (patches, gum etc) and had the highest success rate of the top 15 methods of quitting smoking. Ten percent of the hypnosis programmes achieved success rates greater than 60%, whilst willpower alone resulted in just 6% success rates. Self help programmes, including books and CD’s fared a slightly better with 9% success and even nicotine gum only achieved 10% success.
