    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Gave up a few months ago for a month or two, and am now back to smoking.
&lt;br/&gt;My boyfriend encouraged me to give up so haven't told him that I have started again - resorting to sneaky cigarettes when out with him! (which i feel AWFUL about!) any advice on how to give up? I know I should, I know it is bad for me, but I think it is more habit, something to do at work, when bored, when "stressed" I reach for the packet...it's terrible, I wanna give up forever and am struggling to do so! HELP, HELP &amp;amp; RESCUE!!!&lt;/div&gt;

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Stop Smoking in a Single Hypnosis Session!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Did You Know . . . 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;You can Stop Using Tobacco Easily With Hypnosis in a Single Session! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Changes are Guaranteed Effective. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Save Your Money! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Save Your Health! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;My clients have said: "I have been smoke-free since the first session we met! I can't believe how few cravings I have experienced. Hypnosis really works. Thank you so much! You may have saved my life!!!!" 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In 2004, actor Matt Damon used hypnosis to stop a two pack per day habit he had had since his teens. You can do it too! All you need to do is sit back and relax while the power of your unconscious mind does the work and new healthy habits are created. Hypnosis cannot make you do anything against your will, but it can really HELP you do things that are in alignment with your will...like stop smoking and start feeling good again. So if you are ready to stop smoking, this is the way to do it. You don't need willpower (it doesn't work for very long), you just need to be willing to try something new. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;There is little or no weight gain, cravings, or irritability. This is the most effective way to stop smoking. Throw all cigarettes away before arriving! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Private Sessions with Dan have a 90% Success Rate! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;TOBACCO CESSATION - PRIVATE SESSION PRICES 
&lt;br/&gt;Price includes a hypnosis CD and booklet. 
&lt;br/&gt;First Session (1.5 hours) $145 
&lt;br/&gt;Follow-up Sessions (1 hour) $95 each 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Two sessions is $240 ($220 pre-paid. Save $20.) 
&lt;br/&gt;For most people two sessions are required to quit smoking for good. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Exceptions: 
&lt;br/&gt;Users of smokeless tobacco, people who have been smoking for three or more decades, and people who average more than a pack per day sometimes require 3 sessions or more to quit. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A single two-hour smoking cessation seminar (which includes a one hour hypnosis session) is also available for fraternities, organizations and companies. Call for prices. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Things to do before your first appointment: 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;* No caffeine a few hours before your appointment. 
&lt;br/&gt;* Throw away all of your cigarettes. 
&lt;br/&gt;* Clean your windshield, empty your ashtray and deodorize your car. 
&lt;br/&gt;* Clean your household ashtrays and put them away in the closet (for guests who smoke). 
&lt;br/&gt;* Say "goodbye" to every cigarette you smoke between now and your appointment. 
&lt;br/&gt;* Imagine your life as a non-smoker as productive, abundant and happy. 
&lt;br/&gt;* Begin drinking lots of water. 
&lt;br/&gt;* Begin a daily exercise routine to clear toxins and to balance your biochemistry. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is a popular topic for groups. Organizing a group of friends or co-workers is an economical way to share this valuable service. If you would like to stop smoking with a spouse, a friend or a small group, contact me for group rates. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Did you know that... 
&lt;br/&gt;Hypnosis has been proven the most effective means of quitting smoking? 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In 1968 the American Journal of Clinical Hypnotherapy published a report by a doctor using hypnosis on 1000 smokers. After 18 months 94% were still non-smokers after only 3 sessions of hypnosis. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In 1992 a large research project into stop smoking methods was undertaken at the University of Iowa. This comparison of over 600 scientific studies placed hypnosis as the most effective means of smoking cessation available. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Winston Churchill, Jacqueline Kennedy Onasis, and Kevin Costner have all used hypnotherapy to stop smoking. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;REPORTED SUCCESS RATES FOR 
&lt;br/&gt;DIFFERENT SMOKING CESSATION METHODS 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;60% - Single session Hypnosis 
&lt;br/&gt;30% - Cassette tapes with Hypnotic suggestion 
&lt;br/&gt;29% - Exercise and breathing therapy 
&lt;br/&gt;25% - Aversion therapy 
&lt;br/&gt;24% - Acupuncture 
&lt;br/&gt;10% - Nicotine Replacement Therapy 
&lt;br/&gt;6% - Willpower alone

    <summary type="html">&lt;div&gt;Ok I have gone 2 weeks with no smoking.  It was a little easier than I thought it was going to be.  I started 2 weeks ago with the nicotrol inhaler.  Let me tell you it worked wonders for me.  First it gives you something to do with your hands because you hold it like a cigarette.  Plus you absolutly cannot smoke while you are on it because that can cause an overdose so that is an incentive not to smoke.  After the first week I started to hate the way the inhaler tasted in my mouth.  So I cut down that too and now I am off it and off cigarettes.  Oh I still would like one but the habit and craving is getting easier.  Gum really helps with this also.  It is expencive but most insurance companies will pay for most of it.  If anyone tires it I wish you luck cause it worked for me.  So far.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;My name is Tristan and I really need to quit smoking.  It has been so hard and I was hoping that this tribe could help me.  I don't know where to begin or how to implement a program.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any advice would be helpful.

&lt;br/&gt;ok call me crazy, but i believe in this.  i quit 13 days ago, and when i quit cold turkey, i went to donate a pint of blood.  why?  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;because i believe it helps purge the system of the nicotine addition faster.  i think technically it takes 14 days to actually break the physical craving and 30 to break the emotional / psychological craving.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;so i help the physical part move a bit faster by doing a small purge.  any matter, it is a cool thing to do for other people and in my mind it clearly helps (maybe just as a placebo).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;end thoughts.

Not sure if it's Zyban or Wellbutrin, it;s some kind of anti-depressant. I hear the success rate of this program is high, but am nervous about the pills. Has anyone undergone such treatment or know someone who has? If so, would love to hear about it.
