more than 600 studies of 72,000 people from America and Europe to compare various methods of quitting."
What the study showed: hypnosis was found to be more than 15 times more effective than trying to quit alone
and three times as effective as nicotine replacement methods. Pretty strong case for hypnosis and self

abstinence, Wynd CA. Journal of Nursing Scholarship, 2005; 37:3, pages 245-250. It's simple and powerful
conclusion: willpower just wasn't enough to quit or maintain freedom from smoking.
