Keep going if you can, one relapse at this stage puts you back to square one in my experience. I was a smoker from the age of fourteen to thirty one and tried to quit hundreds of times until it just happened. Still think about it now sometimes and have had the odd lapse usually when drunk or in the early days after an argument with my wife (strange I know) but only smoke half a fag every couple of years now and they taste disgusting but there's still something there. I reckon its about twelve months minimum before you can have any kind of relapse without risking becoming a full time smoker again - just my experience. Good luck a new world opens up when you quit smoking.

From this site: "Hypnotherapy works by putting you in a deep, relaxed state where your mind is more open to suggestion. At this point your hypnotherapist will look to change your thought patterns by making suggestions such as 'I do not want a cigarette' or 'I am repelled by the smell of cigarette smoke'. For many people, just one session is enough to quit smoking however some may benefit from a follow-up session." As I said earlier, I walked in to my hypnotherapy treatment a smoker, and walked out an hour later a non-smoker. I barely had a single craving after the session and giving up was easier than any of the other methods I'd previously tried. It does also say that: "Some people find hypnotherapy alone is enough to break the habit, while others prefer to combine it with NRT or medication to tackle both the physical and mental addiction together." So you could still use your e-cig alongside the hypnotherapy (though you might find you don't need to). Sorry if I seem a bit 'religious' with my harping on about hypnosis, but I can't overstate just how effective it was for me.
