Hello,
I've smoked for 19 years of my life, my god what the hell was I thinking. It's an addiction and it's so hard to quit. I know exactly what you are going through. I've tried so many times to quit but did I really know deep down that I had my last cigarette...NO, who was I kidding I knew that I wasn't really going to quit and knew that sooner or later I was going to light up again. I quit cold turkey and believe me it was so difficult, I was so crappy, irritable and going through nicotine fits bad but I stayed with it. It took about a year before I was finally not going through the withdrawls. I guess the best advise I can give you is keep trying...MAKE UP YOUR MIND TO QUIT. You can start off slow like quit one part of the day, everyday. I was having popsicles left and right and chewed the heck out of the popsicle sticks. The moment you QUIT smoking you will turn your life around 180 degrees.

Good luck, wishing you success

you probably dont need hypnosis...all you need is a bible...read that every night...till you found verses about vices...and their effects...and you will automatically know how to get rid of them...i hope it work on you...

I am so sorry to know you have found yourself in this condition , so many of us have problems that we want to stop but we have not equipped to stop them...Like the guy who sent in the first answer said I think you can try the Bible ,it will help alot other than that you can read an article I wrote on my blog some time ago it will help :

Cigarettes are silent killers and smoking is like committing hara-kiri in slow motion. If you are not a smoker, then you shouldn't latch on to the habit, and if you are one, then you must enroll with a stop smoking program and give it up immediately. Here are 9 ways that can help you stop smoking forever:

1. You have to steel your mind against smoking before you join any stop smoking programs. Read some case studies where smokers and their families have suffered because of the habit, see pictures of people affected by mouth cancer, read medical reports on smoking and think of the money you will save when you quit - all these will help you get in the right frame of mind.

2. Create a change around you and change your routine. For starters, you can throw out the ashtrays and lighters lying around in your home. Next, latch on to an exercise or sport that can keep you busy and put you in a relaxed frame of mind - remember, a relaxed mind can actually stop you from going back for that one-last-smoke.

3. Steps 1 and 2 above will put you in a positive frame of mind, enabling you to go through the rigors of stop smoking programs without feeling the pain. However, before you start off on any program, you must read and be forewarned about the effects that nicotine withdrawal has on the body - there are plenty of resources on this topic available on the Internet.

4. Cold Turkey is a stop smoking method wherein a smoker gives up smoking all of a sudden - some smokers can handle the withdrawal symptoms, and those who can't need to join a stop smoking program. Maybe you can give this method a try if you are confident and strong enough to take on the withdrawal symptoms.

5. If you feel you cannot completely stop smoking all of a sudden, then the next step is to try nicotine replacement aids. These aids are made up of nicotine chewing gum/lozenges, inhalers, sprays and patches, all of which release enough nicotine into the body to satisfy its craving for nicotine, and yet do not make the smoker feel like picking up a cigarette. The aids are an important part of any stop smoking programs, but reliance on them should gradually be tapered off once the smoking habit is kicked out.

6. Along with the nicotine replacement aids, you may be prescribed an anti-depressant and other drugs that take out the pain caused by nicotine withdrawal. Anti-depressants relax a smoker and keep him relaxed as he goes about the motions described in a stop smoking program.

7. Counseling and group therapy programs also help, but they may not be sufficient by themselves and can be used along with the nicotine replacement therapy.

8. If you are not inclined towards the programs above, you can try out other alternative stop smoking methods such as acupuncture, hypnosis, herbs, filters, laser treatments, etc.

9. Finally, you can stop smoking aids made from a proprietary herbal blend. It has helped kick the smoking habit in almost all cases (where it was used). It naturally stops the nicotine craving after the prescribed course is over.

Haven't tried hypnosis, don't believe in that.

Have you tried some Chinese remedies?

Here are a few:

Quit Smoking With Gan Cao
This Chinese medicine formula is said to be effective in addressing smoking when it starts to become a bad habit.
It can discourage the habitual smoker from puffing cigarette after cigarette. All they have to do is to breathe in the gan cao aroma. Prepare 300 grams of gan cao and 1000 cc of water. Simmer gan cao to form a paste and then strain the extract. Mixed this paste with tobacco. Both the aroma and the taste of gan cao help in treating habitual smoking.
Kudzu remedies For Smoking
Kudzu has been a popular herbal medicine since 206 B.C. Kudzu has a lot of medical uses and it can be mixed with other herbs for maximum results.
One of the main ingredients of kudzu is isoflavone. This substance can replace nicotine in the brain receptors to help a person to stop his smoking habit. Take kudzu tablet once a day or as a dietary supplement. It is available in tea, tablet, and capsule form. Ask an herbalist or a physician to determine the exact dosage for you.

I was able to successfully quit smoking and I'll tell you what I tell other people. You will be able to quit smoking when you are properly motivated to do so. When that day comes, whatever method you use to quit will work (whether it is patches, gum, or something else). Until that day arrives, whatever method you use to try to quit will not work. Keep trying to quit and someday it will happen if you trully want it to.

I have heard to think back to BEFORE you started smoking. The way you were before you had a desire/craving to smoke. I don't know if professional hypnosis works. Get a RX from your doctor, there are some many products out there to quit smoking, keep trying until you find what works for you. Will chewing gum help you with the craving? Make a goal for yourself, reward yourself once you go a month without a cigarette.

Good luck.
