Homepage > Hypnosis to Stop Smoking
Comfortably retrain your brain to release the urge to smoke and return to breathing fresh, clean air.
You were born a non-smoker. Over time, your brain learned to link cigarettes with stress relief, boredom, social connection, or a way to steady your nerves. Even when you know it is harming your body, that early programming can make smoking feel like the fastest path to comfort.
Long workdays, stressful responsibilities, health worries, and emotional strain all feed into this habit. Lighting up becomes automatic in specific moments, such as after meals, in the car, with coffee, when you feel frustrated, or when you’re trying to wind down.
Pills, patches, and gums can help with nicotine, but they don’t resolve the emotional and subconscious patterns that keep pulling you back. That is why many people quit for a short time, then return to smoking the moment life gets stressful again.
This is not a lack of willpower, but your brain doing exactly what it was conditioned to do. Real change happens when that conditioning is updated, and your mind no longer treats cigarettes as its primary way to cope.
According to the National Cancer Institute, the average cost of a pack of cigarettes is $10. Over a year, that adds up to thousands of dollars spent on a habit that quietly erodes your energy, your breathing, and your overall quality of life.
The financial cost doesn’t end there. Most smokers pay up to 30% more for home, auto, medical, and life insurance. When you consider how many years you’ve been smoking, the total cost, both financially and physically, becomes impossible to ignore.
Hypnosis helps you return to your original, non-smoking programming. Our One Belief Away Hypnosis Method works with the part of the mind that learned to rely on smoking as a solution. Instead of fighting urges with willpower alone, we retrain the patterns that create those urges in the first place.
As those patterns shift, cigarettes stop feeling necessary, and your identity as a non-smoker becomes easier to live out every day.
This approach is drug-free and often more cost-effective than other options, and it
helps you:
Retrain your brain to prefer fresh, clean air over smoke
Break the automatic link between stress, boredom, and lighting up
Replace old beliefs like “cigarettes calm me down”
Support your body’s ability to heal and restore itself
Install healthier habits that stabilize your well-being
Make clearer choices around your health, money, and future
When people first explore hypnosis to quit smoking, they are often surprised by how many advantages it offers compared with other methods. Common benefits of quitting through hypnosis include:

This program is ideal if you need to quit quickly for health or medical reasons, want a clear and structured plan, and prefer private guidance from an experienced hypnotherapist.
People who benefit most from this approach are often those who know smoking is costing them far more than cigarettes alone, in health, energy, time, and professional presence, but haven’t been able to break the pattern on their own.
Many are long-term smokers who have tried quitting several times, only to return to the habit the moment stress intensifies. Others are facing medical deadlines, preparing for surgery, or simply tired of hiding their smoking from colleagues, family, or leadership teams.
What they have in common is a desire for a private, structured, and judgment-free method that addresses the real drivers of the habit, especially the subconscious triggers and emotional patterns that fuel cravings.
If you value a calm, confidential process, want lower withdrawal symptoms, and prefer working with a seasoned professional who understands high-pressure lifestyles, this method is highly aligned with your needs.

Our clients include heavy smokers, long-time pack-a-day smokers, and individuals who had nearly given up after trying every other method. Across this work, we have achieved a 93% success rate in helping clients become non-smokers, largely because each session is tailored to a person’s specific mindset, routines, and goals rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all script.

Many choose us after seeing consistent 5-star reviews and real client stories. While every experience is unique, what remains constant is our commitment to your success, your health, and your long-term freedom.
"I stopped smoking after 55 years at Indy Hypnosis. No more patches, pills, or nagging cravings. It's been six years since my first session and I'm very glad I did this."
This program showed me how to have complete control of my life and what I want to accomplish. I’m sure that with hypnosis I will never go back to smoking again
I was a smoker for a very long time. Indy Hypnosis helped me change my life! I feel awesome! People comment about how free and happy I look. I plan a very long, enjoyable life that is free of poison from the cigarettes.
I smoked for over 20 years. I have not had a cigarette since my first session. I had tried pills, patches, and other methods in the past. I still can’t believe it was so easy and stress free!
I smoked 1-2 packs a day for over 20 years, I have not smoked since the first session. Like many people, I tried several times to quit. Along with his complete program, Tim has been a great help!
After smoking over 50 years I have finally quit smoking! I quit after my first session of hypnosis. I sincerely thank Tim for his help and leading me to a healthier lifestyle.
I tried to stop smoking many different ways and one of them worked. From the first day I was treated with hypnosis I haven’t smoked since. I don’t know how or why, but it works!
Hypnotherapy works with the subconscious part of your mind that links cigarettes with relief, comfort, or routine. By updating this “automatic programming,” we help your brain return to its natural, non-smoking state. Instead of feeling like you’re fighting yourself, you begin to feel more aligned with your decision to quit.
Absolutely! In every session, you will enjoy the relaxing power of hypnosis to help you live a healthier lifestyle as a confident non-smoker. You’ll also re-experience the soothing relaxation any time you wish because you’ll have lifetime access to all the hypnosis audios and helpful resources.
Many clients are surprised by how manageable cravings feel using this approach. When your body is relaxed and your mind is calmer, withdrawal symptoms often reduce in intensity and duration. For some people, discomfort lasts only a few days, while for others, it is minimal. We also teach practical tools to handle emotional triggers so you are not relying on willpower alone.
Weight gain is not automatic. People usually gain weight when they stop smoking and start using food as a replacement coping strategy. Our programs include suggestions and strategies to prevent this, teaching your mind and body to reach for healthier options and new ways of calming stress instead of turning to food.
Most of our clients arrive after multiple attempts to quit with patches, medications, gum, or going cold turkey. Those methods often focus on nicotine alone and overlook the emotional and subconscious drivers behind the habit. Hypnosis helps address the underlying stress patterns and beliefs, making it easier to create a lasting shift instead of another short-term attempt.
Smoking creates constant interruptions in breathing, focus, stamina, and in how you manage stress. When the habit no longer drives your day, you regain clarity, steadiness, and control over your schedule and health.
If you’re ready for a practical, structured way to quit without the usual disruption or struggle, a brief consultation will outline the approach and answer your questions.
