I want to give up smoking - how successful is hypnotism?

Hyponotism doesn't give up smoking. You do!

Having just done so (over two months now), the greatest help for me was a
partner who had also just done so. She was about a week ahead of me.

In the months before giving up, we had progressively pushed smoking from
something we did pretty much anywhere, to "downstairs only", to "kitchen
only", eventually to "outside if you really have to". This also had the
effect of breaking links between things like using computers, watching
tele, eating, drinking tea/coffee, etc. and smoking.

And think why you want to give up. If the want is strong enough, the doing
is easy (well, easier).
