I have heard great stories of hypnosis being successful in doing many surprising things. Things like making the hypnotized person stand on single leg for about an hour – or controlling even the sleep of the hypnotized person! But yesterday one of my friends said that even smoking can be stopped by hypnotism! Well and you can guess what could have happened after that – all of us laughed at him!
I now begin to think whether this is really possible? I mean stopping smoking by hypnotism. Although I feel this is highly impossible I started wondering if this can be real, I started to find out what exactly hypnotism does so that it can even change our habits and even addictions! Hypnotism just puts us in a mental state where we are unconscious. Our brain is not listening to ourselves instead it has now become slave of someone other. The hypnotizer can make the hypnotized person behave the way he wants – until the hypnotized person remains hypnotized! After that the hypnotizer doesn’t have any control over him. Then how can he even control the person after the effect of hypnosis is over? As far as smoking goes, it is an activity for pleasure and relaxation of mind and it may be an addiction for some. When we are back into out normal behavior, that is out from hypnosis then we should feel the normal thirst to smoke the way we usually felt. Hypnosis just can’t change the person permanently! The attachment of smoker to smoking is pretty natural and not forced one and he really enjoys it. How can something stop his natural desires to take into effect even after the effect of hypnosis is over? That’s why I simply believe hypnosis can’t have any effect over smoking. Yes you can make that person not to smoke for the period he is hypnotized, but not after that. Smoking can be stopped by showing good control on self. It’s not that hard and I have some friends who have quit smoking and they are happy about it and I also have friends those who have not tried to quit, they enjoy smoking and they are also quiet happy about it.
