Smoking...
Smoking is no longer considered to be "cool" or a good way to relax. No one
can be oblivious to the health risks. There are many ways to stop smoking.
These include:
► Patches & Chewing gum.
 
What they do is trickle small quantities of nicotine into your system leaving you
to use your will power to stop the habit part of smoking. The nicotine dependency
part of the smoking process is the easiest to get rid of as nicotine breaks down
and leaves the body fairly quickly.
► Drugs
 
The best known of these is Zyban.
Zyban works in the brain to help break the
addiction to nicotine by modifying two neurotransmitters involved in nicotine
addiction and withdrawal. While certain drugs have shown to have some ability
 to stop you smoking, they all carry risks.
► Will power
  While some people can do this quite successfully, most cannot.
► Smoking clinics
 
The habit part of smoking is often addressed by smoking "clinics" where the dangers
and risks of smoking are reinforced. They will often suggest that you use one of the
aforementioned aids to reduce your nicotine dependency.
► Hypnosis
 
Some hypnotists use a form of hypnosis where the idea that any attempt to smoke will
make you feel ill, smoke will smell like something disgusting or other types of
aversion therapy.
   
  While these methods do work for some people, most will fail.
   
► Solution focused hypnotherapy
  This effective form of hypnosis finds the triggers that cause you to smoke and removes or changes your response to them. It does not use prepared scripts.
