I know two friends who have used it with excellent success. They needed a couple "tune-ups" but for the most part they are tobacco free. One of the men had smoked for more than 40 years.

Brother-in-law tried the technique. It was not a sucess. He gained considerable weight eventho part of the hypnotic suggestion was to not eat more and started smoking again within a week. He was an irritable you-know-what that whole week. He has since quit using one of the patches and a support group administered through the county health dept. Exercise has kept the weight down. 2 plus packs per day for years to nothing! Hypnosis may work for some but not for him.

My eldest sister tried to go down this path. It didn't work for her. Well, to be fair it did work for her for about seven days. After that, though, she crumbled.
