Is hypnotherapy the most successful treatment for smoking?
The British Medical Association has acknowledged that hypnotherapy is the most effective help available for smokers. More effective than other methods such as nicotine replacements. Smoking is less prevalent today compared to previous generations, due to greater awareness of the chemicals and health implications. Health and well-being are better understood and incorporated into everyday life. The recent pandemic has lead to further research evidencing the importance of healthy lungs in order to remain well.
Elkins (2004) conducted a longitudinal study of hypnosis for smoking cessation – 81% of the patients reported they no longer smoked, and 48% reported abstinence at 12 months post-treatment. Hypnotherapy is 3 times more effective compared to traditional forms of treatment.
