Did you manage to give up smoking successfully?

I discussed with my husband about ways to stop smoking. I used to but he still does, it's one of his "pleasures in life".
Would a hypnotherapist help, I asked him. No, he wasn't convinced.
I found it really hard giving up cigarettes and now it's been three years. He only smokes at work but if he feels the need for a ciggie at home he will go outside to his man cave - the shed.

Yes and no.

I smoked for 12 years. And quit cold turkey for a window of about 11 years. One day just out of no where bought a pack and started smoking again for a year and change. Got tired of it and quit cold turkey again. Both times I was chain smoking roughly a pack and a half a day by the end of both times.

It's from my experience a battle with the mind. I literally have the want to stop smoking and remember the cravings are only 10 minutes long. Find a way to defeat your urges for that window and follow through
