 In simplest and most direct of words, smoking is really bad. So bad that whatever perceived goodness that it brings to the smoker does not, and cannot outweigh the ill-effects it brings to the body. And in cases of second-hand smoking or passive smoking - to someone else’s body. The mere intention to start smoking is easiest while the decision to stop smoking is hardest.
How many thus far have made it as among the New Years resolutions and yet how many in reality have picked up the habit every year thereafter? This, despite increasing health warnings, increased prices and widened awareness, and more advanced “stop smoking aids” being offered to the public. However and whichever methods are embraced though, the message is clear – stop smoking before it stops you.

Sure, the prospect of is probably far-fetched, but figures and statistics do not lie – smoking kills and kills you softly through heart disease, emphysema, lung cancer, poor appetite, bad teeth and unhealthy skin among others. So heed the message and the warning and take inspiration from people that are no different from you - stop smoking before it stops you.
“Stop smoking aids” are readily available in the market from Nicotine patches, pills and nicotine gums that are the popular options. If you are wary though of medication to assist you, next to consider is the natural “stop smoking products” on the market today. Natural cures to help you include calamus (chew the root to destroy desire for nicotine) and chamomile (take three to six times a day to help you relax).
But if all these fails or if you are still struggling to quit after trying the patches, the medication and the natural products, there is another option. Proven to be on the 60-75% successful rate, the other option is through hypnosis therapy. Numerous people recommend that stop smoking hypnosis therapy be used in conjunction with stop smoking products, such as the patch or nicotine gum.
Since over time the smoker becomes physically and psychologically addicted to the nicotine, to be able to stop one needs to be liberated from both dependences. A hypnotherapist can usually help you in a single session - with one and a half hour's hypnotherapy, and a Stop Smoking CD. Hypnotherapists generally have a success rate of 75% with smokers who seek treatment - often in a single session of 90 minutes.
An analysis by New Scientist Magazine back in 1992 found that hypnosis, in one session, had a success rate of up to 60% in helping people stop smoking. Even if you try to quit without the aid of medication or nicotine supplements, you will need some kind of help to stop smoking cigarettes.
No matter how you feel about hypnosis in principle, the only way to discover whether or not it works is to try it yourself. If you have already tried a variety of the products, you may think it is just not meant to be. No matter how hard it may be, be assured that the benefits far outweigh the pain.
As health experts say, to stop smoking means “a lot of courage and motivation but this is the best decision you can make.” As such, finding the best effective way to stop smoking would need determination, discipline and commitment to stop smoking permanently.
