   Hypnosis Feedback: I can’t tell you the cost today but it does work. I paid $50 but that was 17 years ago. The key is you really really must want to quit. It doesn’t get rid of the urge to smoke but it helps to lessen the urge. With that and your will you can succeed.

   I have been off cigarettes 17 years now thanks to hypnotherapy.

   Even if you pay a lot for the hypnotherapy at today’s prices for cigarettes you can save a lot of money quickly while improving your health.

   Hypnosis Feedback: It costs from $25 to $75, plus the $10 donation at the door. It only works if you really want to quit. No stop-smoking plan will work without a planned commitment to quit. Been there - done that, lots of times. The last time I quit, I managed to stay off them permanently (so far!)

   “”Half of people will typically stop smoking after a single [hypnosis] session, and half of those won’t have a cigarette for two years,” Spiegel said. In the world of smoking-cessation, a 25 percent long-term success rate is considered impressive, he said.

   “Generally a total cessation of smoking is the goal of hypnotic intervention, and results are likely to appear in sharply defined
   success or failure classifications rather than in categories that
   rate degrees of smoking reduction. On the whole, hypnosis rates
   higher in effectiveness than other single methods in comparable
   reports. However the range is great: 15% to 90% depending on
   the sample, the length of follow-up, and other variables. Hypnosis
   combined with individual counselling or psychotherapy appears
   to be more effective than hypnosis alone. Multiple doctorpatient
   contacts, employing hypnotic reinforcements on initial
   suggestions of abstinence, are more effective than a single session. However Spiegel’s success rate with a single-treatment…….”
