They all quit smoking with hypnosis. We all know that celebrities love to follow a trend – and, with smoking way down on the list of things that you should do in life - more and more famous people are turning to hypnosis to break their bad habits.
Let’s face it – quitting smoking is hard, whether you’re famous or not. It doesn’t matter how bad you want to quit, sometimes actually being able to break the physical and mental addiction is something we just can’t do on our own. But, the fact is that smoking could shorten your lifespan, it makes your life miserable and it eats up all your money.
So, it’s no surprise that celebrities like these four have given hypnosis a try. Sometimes, having someone else deal with an addiction for you is just a lot easier than having to do it yourself. Matt Damon, for example, is said to have quit smoking straight after just three sessions with his hypnotherapist. As he said afterwards:
“It’s amazing I didn’t even want cigarettes any more.”
Ellen DeGeneres, on the other hand, was cured on her TV show by a guest hypnotherapist on the spur of the moment. She was so grateful to have found an instant cure that she told him:
“You’ve helped me tremendously and probably saved my life, definitely changed my life.”
And, Drew Barrymore managed to kick a two to three pack a day habit that she had had since her teens with the help of hypnosis.
So, why are the rich and famous turning to hypnosis to cure their bad habits? The fact is that it just plain works and, as word gets out how effective it can be, more and more smokers want to get help this way.
If you want to quit smoking then hypnosis could be the ideal solution for you. Going down this route could see you quit smoking in an instant – unlike other methods such as nicotine patches or gum which could take months to wean you off and which could have nasty side effects. And, it’s a whole lot easier than going cold-turkey.
Hypnosis simply works to make you want to quit smoking on a subconscious level. You do have to WANT to quit for it to work but – if you do – then there’s no reason why it won’t work for you. And, you don’t have to be rich and famous to be able to see the benefits here.
The fact is that more and people who are desperate to quit smoking are turning to hypnotherapy as a solution. These people may have been trying to quit for years or may have just made the decision to try – it doesn’t matter what stage you are at, hypnosis can help.
It’s now even possible to use hypnosis to quit smoking at home – for example, Valerie Dawson’s ‘Easy Quit Hypnosis Program’ can help you quit in just one session (an amazing two sessions less than it took Matt Damon!).

Quit Smoking Hypnosis: Using Hypnosis To Cure Bad Habits
Why can’t I cure my own bad habit?
If you have a bad habit - such as comfort eating, smoking or an addiction to gambling or alcohol, for example, then you can probably answer the question for yourself. A lot of us simply can’t kick a bad habit on our own - we tend to say that it’s because we don’t have the willpower to actually carry it through.
The fact is that any kind of bad habit takes hold of you both psychologically and physically. So, when you try to kick the habit yourself you have to deal with a lot of mental stress and physical side effects that can really throw you. So, for many people, it’s simply easier to pick up the bad habit again to make the nasty symptoms go away. This doesn’t make us weak or mean that we lack willpower - it simply means that our bad habit has taken such a hold we need external help to deal with it once and for all.
How can hypnosis help?
There are all kinds of methods you can try to help you kick a bad habit. Most of these will try and appeal to your brain on a conscious level. So, for example, you might go along to a ‘Quit
Smoking’ group where you socialize with other smokers and counsel each other on the effects of smoking and so on. On a purely rational level you will walk out of a meeting knowing that smoking is bad for you and knowing that you want to quit.
But, it isn’t that easy. The rational side of your brain might be telling you all this but your subconscious may still be hanging on to the fact that you are a smoker and could be telling you to go into the nearest store and buy a pack right away! So, to put it simply, hypnosis deals with the subconscious thus making it far easier for you to quit effectively.
Going for hypnosis sessions to cure a bad habit will simply help ALL of your mind focus on the goal of giving up. The methods used by hypnotherapists vary. Some, for example, use a form of aversion therapy that makes you feel slightly nauseous at the thought of smoking. Others simply tell your subconscious that you are not a smoker so - after your session, you’ll act like a non-smoker because your brain is telling you to.
Can it help me quit smoking?
Hypnosis is a great way of quitting smoking. So many of the issues involved with nicotine addiction are psychological so this form of therapy works perfectly here. The fact is that many good hypnotherapists can help you quit smoking in just one session.
As this form of therapy is so suited to quitting smoking, many hypnotherapists receive specialized training in helping people overcome smoking addictions. If you are considering using hypnotherapy to quit then it’s also worthwhile looking for therapists that are also trained in neurolinguistic programming or NLP. NLP is a scientific advancement which works great in tandem with hypnosis - it’s designed to help people take control of their actions.
