Two Effective ways to Quit Smoking
By Rachelle Holmes of MetropolitanMD, a leading Chicago Plastic Surgery center located in Chicago, IL.
Nicotine patches and chewing gum aren’t the only ways to kick a bad smoking habit these days. For those who have found these methods to be ineffective, there are two highly useful ways to successfully kick the practice.
The banishment of smoking from bars and restaurants has become widespread, and with particular places like Michigan finally catching on, more and more people are becoming desperate to renounce their undeniable addiction to nicotine for good. There will always be that large percentage of people who’d rather step outside for a quick pull, but reports from a recent article entitled “Mich. Smoking ban drives some to seek ways to quit” (Chicago Tribune) demonstrate otherwise.
In fact, it states that people are resorting to hypnotherapy, which tackles the root of habitual smoking through the subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy is a specific type of therapy in which a person is subject to hypnosis, induced by a procedure typically known as hypnotic induction. While in this state, the individual is ransacked with series of questions and suggestions. Otherwise known as a state of physical relaxation and metal concentration (not to be confused with sleep), hypnosis can generally be utilized to subdue the urge to smoke.
Additionally, it has been found that many people have ventured into the field of acupuncture to lessen their addictive behaviors. Reverting back to the article mentioned above, President of Acupuncture Healthcare Associates of Michigan Inc Julie Silver, points out a slight increase in business since the recent ban.
Acupuncture is the procedure of inserting and changing needles in different points on the body to lessen pain therapeutically. For years now, acupuncture has been scrutinized by scientists for its effectiveness; most opponents state that it could be attributed to a placebo effect. To the contrary however, people in Michigan are beginning to see results.
Consciously speaking, almost everybody knows how to stop smoking – Simply don’t buy the cigarettes and/or use them. But kicking the actual addiction is much more complicated than most think, and with great practices like acupuncture and hypnotherapy, it’s very much possible. Most hypnotherapists say that with only a few sessions, a lifetime of soberness from tobacco can be achieved. The most important element of quitting lies in the willingness of the patient to quit, and costs of quitting can build quickly. Despite, practices like acupuncture and hypnotherapy might be worth looking into.

I would love to see stats as to what is the most effective way to quit smoking, and how long people must go without smoking before it is considered a success.
