Stopping Smoking
Eric Weinstein
Life Coach, Hypnosis and NLP, shamanic healing, Energy Psychology (including "tapping"), Voice Dialogue
Smoking is personal to me. I grew up with a father who smoked until he had a triple bypass. And even then, I had to hold up a mirror so he could see where his chest had been sawed open before he stopped asking for cigarettes.
I offer a money-back stop-smoking program based on hypnosis and energy psychology. It’s $599 for four sessions – paid up front (unless you can’t afford that). If you smoke a pack a day, you’ll break even in four months. By the end of a year, you’ll be up $1200. More importantly, you’ll be a different person.
This might be a bold statement, but my program is not just about stopping a bad habit – it’s about replacing it with a good one. For most smokers, smoking is not “just” a habit or an addiction, it’s an emotional coping mechanism. You’re anxious, you need a smoke. You’re angry, you need a smoke. You’re bored, you need a smoke. Those emotions and triggers don’t go away when you stop smoking.
But when you replace a cigarette with a short walk or a 5-minute meditation or a 3-minute energy psychology “tapping sequence” that addresses the emotional need, you diminish the emotional need. You learn new and healthy ways to cope. You actually become less anxious or angry and more aware of what you really need to do to have a better life.
So I invite you to call me and get started. You’ll breathe easier, and so will the people around you.

Stopping Smoking
Margaret Graham
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Quitting smoking isn't just about willpower – it's about rewiring the unconscious patterns that keep you reaching for cigarettes even when you consciously want to stop. You know all the reasons to quit. You've probably tried before, maybe multiple times. The problem isn't that you lack information or motivation; it's that the habit lives deeper than your thinking brain can access through sheer determination alone. Clinical hypnosis works with your subconscious mind, where the triggers, associations, and automatic behaviors around smoking are stored. We use focused relaxation to help you access that part of your brain that drives the hand-to-mouth habit, the stress-relief association, the after-meal ritual, or whatever pattern keeps you stuck. Unlike nicotine patches or gum that address physical withdrawal, hypnosis addresses the mental and emotional hooks that make quitting feel impossible. You'll remain fully aware and in control during sessions – this isn't stage hypnosis. It's a tool for helping your unconscious mind align with what you consciously already want: to be free from smoking.

Alicia Townsend
Psychologist, PhD, BCN
Smoking can be extremely difficult to stop. Determining the right time to quit is just the first step. Finding adequate replacements, learning your own personal triggers, and developing other coping strategies are some of the ways I can help you to stop smoking.

Stopping Smoking
Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
We've all heard the statement that "smoking kills". At the same time, many of us know someone who has fallen victim to damaging health consequences related to nicotine addiction. Hypnotherapy has proven to be a very successful modality at helping relevant clients become ex-smokers. A former client said it best when writing me the following: “You saved my life by helping me become a non-smoker. It sounds strange to say but I feel like I have two fathers: the one who first gave me life, and the one who gave me the rest of my life.” ~ Jim W.
