Smoking Cessation :- Why does hypnosis work for smoking cessation? It works because it changes the subconscious associations that the smoker has with cigarettes.

Appropriate hypnotherapy for smoking cessation will change these automatic associations and behavior patterns. Hypnosis is also effective because helps a person manage the physical effects of withdrawal. Hypnosis in and of itself can be an alternative coping strategy.
