Jabberwocky   46 #7 Posted July 9, 2006 Im on the patches and plastic cigs and have been now for well over 6 weeks. They work perfectly, I was a 40 per day man since the early 70s and now I dont have the slightest cravings for cigs. I know a few people who tried hypnotism and all of them failed. even people who combined hypnotism with patches and other things.

English Glory   10 #8 Posted July 9, 2006 Hypnotism does help though don't go to a hypnotist and spend an absolute fortune.  Buy a stop smoking hypnotherapy CD from Amazon by a geezer called Glenn Harrold - about a tenner. Or if she's got an MP3 player then pay about £4 ($8.99) from somewhere like http://www.hypnosisdownloads.com/ - they are British despite selling in dollars.  It takes a good few times of listening for it daily to change the subconscious so you're talking £hundreds at a hypnotherapist but peanuts for the above. Plus they can always be relistened to when the urge comes for a ciggy in the future, as will happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Jabberwocky   46 #12 Posted April 27, 2007 Theres a new pill out now. You can get it via prescription and its said to be the best thing out there. It works by fooling your brain into thinking that it has nicotine even though you arent smoking so you simply dont get the cravings.  I forget its name but they say its incredible. I tried Zyban last year but that was crap but Zyban is primarily an anti depressant but is said to help with jacking fags in. The new pill is solely for quitting the cigs.
