Reparenting Technique, BA, BEd

Psychologist•Bangalore
This is really good news and don't give up on your decision. When quitting, you must take one day at a time; though you must give up all smoking at once, and promptly.

Dear lybrate-user, quitting tobacco is not easy. There are de-addiction therapies available along with nicotine lozenges and nicotine gums. These treatment methods are effective in the beginning but the relapse percentage is always high. The best and proven method is to quit today and now. Quit smoking habit now and sustain it with the help of self motivation and will power. Motivation therapy and will power building therapy could help you. Take care.

Dear, Tobacco is addictive. Cigarette also contains 4000+ carcinogenic chemicals other than nicotine. The best method is to leave it and continue with your will power. There are other methods like Nicotine Replacement therapy and pharmacotherapy combined. But still you will need will power. You may consult a physician or deaddiction therapist or a rehabilitation facility for further advise. Take care.

Dear lybrate user. Hypnotherapy and psychotherapy are almost same. Hypnotherapy is part of broad psychotherapy. For smoking cessation, deaddiction therapy is better than hypnotherapy. More better is to use your will power. I suggest online counselling and motivation therapy. Take care.

Dear lybrate-user,
