Have you tried hypnotherapy? I had one 60 minute session about 8 years ago and can't recommend it highly enough.

My wife tried cold turkey, patches etc and always failed. She had one session of one-on-one hypnotherapy 7 years ago and has not touched one since she walked out of the door.

She swears by it, but I have a different take on it. When she tried patches and cold turkey, she was badgered by me and the kids to try, but she went voluntarily to the hypnotist because SHE wanted to stop for herself and was determined to succeed. I think the hypnotism helped (no question), but probably helped to enforce her will to cease smoking rather than was the cure all.

I had been 100% determined to quit several times before I tried the hypnotherapy.

I tried E-Cigs too (www.ecigsbrand.com) and although they were effective in delivering the nicotine hit, they weigh an absolute ton. If any of these e-cig manufacturers could develop a product the same size as a roll-up, that tasted like Golden Virginia, then I might be tempted to give them another go.

Iv'e tried the E-Lites but to no avail these on http://www.swapsmoking.com/ to no avail the flavours just did not do it for me B+H and L+B plus they dont look like a real cig. The ones Sky Cigs and VIP ones do look real but never tried them so was just wondering if you have used either what is your honest opinion of them both both same or different?. Best flavour to try, I am a Regal King Size smoker and non of the above did anything for me. Go to a cancer ward. You'll stop instantly.

I've seen patients from the cancer wards at Hull Royal Infirmary standing outside having a smoke, so there's no guarantee just visiting one would work.
