Hypnotherapy to Stop Smoking
Hypnotherapy to stop smoking the effective way
Finding the willpower to stop smoking can feel overwhelming. Most people know their lives would be better without cigarettes, yet the pull of habit can feel stronger than logic. With hypnotherapy to stop smoking, you can step out of the exhausting cycle of reliance and rediscover what it feels like to be back in control of your own life.
At the heart of the RINTT approach is the understanding that smoking is not simply a matter of willpower. Smoking lives in the subconscious mind. Even when the conscious mind decides to quit, the subconscious can still cling to smoking because it believes cigarettes are providing something valuable. This clash between logic and emotion is why so many people stop and start again.
āStopping smoking is not about battling with yourself. It is about changing the relationship your subconscious has with cigarettes, so freedom feels natural rather than forced.ā ā Eriselda Agolli, Founder of RINTT
Why the subconscious mind keeps smoking alive
A smokerās subconscious often associates cigarettes with comfort, relief, belonging, or control. Lighting up with a drink, after a meal, or during stress may feel like it offers calm or reward. The subconscious does not see cigarettes as harmful, it sees them as a solution.
Logically, you already know this is not the truth. Cigarettes damage your health, cost you money, and limit your life. Yet up to 80% of our decisions are made emotionally rather than logically, which explains why going cold turkey is rarely successful. By working directly with the subconscious through hypnotherapy to stop smoking, those outdated associations can finally be rewritten.
The reality of smoking
Smoking is responsible for more than five million deaths worldwide every year. In the UK, around 78,000 people die annually as a result of smoking, while countless others live with debilitating illnesses connected to it.
Cigarette smoke contains more than 7,000 chemicals. Hundreds are toxic and at least 80 are known to cause cancer. Smoking contributes to lung, mouth and throat cancers, heart disease, gum disease, and fertility problems. The cost is measured not just in money but in years of health and freedom lost.
Why hypnotherapy to stop smoking works
Research has shown that hypnotherapy to stop smoking is one of the most effective ways to quit. In one study published in the American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, 60% of participants who received hypnotherapy were able to quit smoking for at least 12 weeks.
Another study in the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis found hypnotherapy to stop smoking to be more effective than nicotine replacement therapy.
But success is about more than the technique alone. RINTT brings together hypnotherapy, NLP, EFT, counselling psychology, and modern neuroscience principles to address the deeper patterns beneath smoking.
It is not about force or pressure. It is about re-imprinting how the mind and body respond to old triggers, so that cigarettes no longer feel relevant.

How RINTT sessions support you to quit smoking
During a hypnotherapy to stop smoking session, you will be guided into a deeply relaxed state where your unconscious mind becomes more open to positive change. Suggestions are offered that break the emotional bond with smoking and install healthier associations. Instead of craving relief through cigarettes, your mind begins to accept that real comfort and control come from within.
In a typical RINTT session, we also look at the triggers that have kept the habit alive. Stress, boredom, social pressure, or reward ā whatever the pattern is, we re-imprint it so that the urge to smoke no longer feels automatic. This means that when you leave the session, you are not just resisting cigarettes, you are free of them.
For many people, only one session of up to two hours is needed. Because we are working at the level where the habit is stored, change can be both rapid and lasting.
Why stop smoking now?
When you give up smoking, the benefits ripple far beyond your own body. The people you care about are no longer exposed to second-hand smoke. Your home, car, and clothes feel fresh.
You save thousands of pounds every year that would otherwise have gone up in smoke. And most importantly, you regain years of life that would otherwise have been stolen.
The RINTT ethos is about real freedom ā not relying on substitutes or battling cravings endlessly, but changing how the subconscious mind responds so that smoking loses its power over you.
Change your perspective for good
Using hypnotherapy to stop smoking allows you to experience a new perspective where cigarettes no longer seem desirable. In this state of freedom, you are calmer, more confident, and no longer weighed down by the stress, anxiety, or irritability that often comes with quitting. The mind learns to create balance naturally, without cigarettes playing any part in it.
