A member asked:
Does hypnotism really work for smoking?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
For some, yes: A recent meta-analysis did show positive results for both hypnosis and acupuncture in smoking cessation. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22502956 this doesn't mean that gums, patches, and medications like zyban (bupropion) are not helpful, though. Different people respond best to different approaches, so having alternatives is good.
