Can anyone recommend a hypnotist in the Newbury area to help with giving up smoking??

They are all VERY expensive.

Have you tried the NHS

Could try these people...

The op specified a hypnotist - not an evil hypnotist!

Have you tried the usual route through your GP? After patches failed for me (I had an allergic skin reaction), I was prescribed a course of Champix*. Not smoked for 16 months now, but now get through loads of extra-strong mints!


* Bit concerned they include links to sites where you can buy online. Buying drugs online is a mug's game.

There was a guy in Cheap Street - above the charity shop, who worked Saturdays.

He was good, but charged £60/session

He's moved here now.

Love it was expecting someone to say look into my eyes,not around the eyes! Thanks for the suggestions just looking into the options at the mo, a friend tried Champix and was as sick as a dog - but everyones different!

Stop buying cigarettes, stop putting them in your mouth and lighting them. If you can't put up with a couple of weeks of discomfort then you are probably not ready to give up.

I'm guessing you're not an (ex) smoker?

Cigarettes are more addictive than heroin.

I am an ex-smoker - I gave up by not smoking. Tried nicorette gum for a day or so - then realised that I would still be addicted to nicotine even if I wasn't smoking, and the gum was disgusting. Settled for normal chewing gum and will power - I haven't smoked for 14 years. Mind you, I did share an office with a fairly heavy smoker - so probably got something from the passive smoking.

It is possible to simply stop.

Well done Blackdog. And yes I am an ex smoker. I used to get fed up with people telling me to just stop. I realise now that they were right, it is the only way. Most of my friends (who smoked) have done the same.
