Much of the smoking habit is a mental one. The part of our mind responsible for maintaining habits is known as the unconscious mind. The state of hypnosis enables us to directly work with that part of your mind in a way that willpower cannot.

This is very common. It is my job to create a compelling new attitude to smoking that becomes more important, allowing the enjoyment to fall away. Tailoring the session specifically to your needs is paramount here.

No. The idea is to make not smoking a natural part of your life. If you avoid certain people or activities, then it has not become so. I want you to continue your normal activities and be perfectly fine with others around you smoking. This is perfectly possible.

Occasionally someone does. We can view it as your body getting rid of old gunk.  I cover this possibility and dealing with it in the session. 

I would say this is difficult and I would not take someone on as a client for this. When you are a smoker, there are certain cues and triggers for smoking that you have created. If you continue smoking in response to some of those, your unconscious mind will faithfully remind you of those other triggers and you may find your smoking naturally begins to fall back into the old pattern.

My aim with everyone is that it becomes a permanent change. I want smoking to become so alien to you, that you would no more have a cigarette than drink poison! I work with you to divorce the activity of smoking from your identity.
