has anyone tried acupuncture or hypnosis to stop smoking?? does it work?

Hypnosis can be real effective for quitting smoking, long as you really want to, and to that I think you would succeed with it.

I tried hypnosis once but lit up when I left. I was chewing gum and that was a distraction so if you go with that, make sure you are completely relaxed and not chewing gum or anything. I knew several people who have tried acupuncture and 2 people have not smoked and it's been about 4 years now. Another one went back to smoking in a month or so. I am thinking about trying it. I don't want to try Chantix because of a lot of people having such bad side effects.

I think the best option for me right now is the acupuncture. I want to quit really bad. I wish it was easy.

Good luck and hope whatever you try that it works for you!!

Yes - it harm! I used to be anticipating a first-class enjoyable de-stressing consultation and I acquired needles twisted within the fingers of my palms, wrists and tops of my ft which failed to precisely do so much to calm down me. The ones in my wrists did supply a kind-of first-class tingling sensation going up my fingers - however all I might believe used to be 'did he hit a nerve?' Then he went out and left me in a bloodless room 'to calm down', and I stored thinking about what kind of a freak I could appear if the hearth alarm went off at that second and I needed to evacuate to the carpark watching like a human hedgehog. If you desire to de-pressure - check out a facial. Or a therapeutic massage. Having stated that, it's supposed to be very well for again soreness.

No but some people I know tried lung cancer and death, that helped them stop smoking!
