Did you actually try hypnotherapy Bonesie? It's true it may not work for everyone but it can be effective for many.
I didnt no. My Mum did but it never worked for her.
Im sure hypnotherapy does work for some and helps as a supplement for people with the want to stop. However I firmly believe you will not stop smoking until you truly deep down believe in yourself you want to stop. When that happens, its easy.
For me it was like a light going on. Just one day I decided that was it, no more cancer sticks.
