What exactly is self hypnosis to quit smoking then?
Self hypnosis is just the same as being hypnotized by someone else except obviously you do it to yourself! The explanation for hypnotism is a little more complex though. Hypnotism is not magic, it is not mind control and it is not faked. Hypnotism is basically just a focused relaxation technique that allows the body and mind to relax in an effort to shut off the conscious mind and gain access to the unconscious mind that lies below.
A quick explanation:
- The conscious mind is the mind that filters all the complex input of the world through with an analytical, logical thought process. This is a lot slower than the unconscious mind but allows us the amazing abilities that other animals lack. You are reading this with your conscious mind in fact.
- The unconscious mind lies below the surface of the conscious one. This part of the brain is a little more primitive and deals with emotions and feelings a lot more and actually works a lot faster. While we like to think the conscious mind is what drives us we often do not realize just how much this unconscious mind drives all out decisions with emotion and instinct.
If we can work only in the unconscious mind we can do more than make plans of action, e can actually implant thoughts that can change ingrained behavior so that we react differently to circumstances. For Example: You may think 'I am not going to smoke' but stress and cravings actually make you really WANT to smoke. With self hypnosis you can think what you like and your behavior will not WANT to smoke as much on an emotive level.

Quit Smoking Hypnosis Method Helps Kick The Habit To Smoking Cessation Freedom!
hypnosis's for quiting smokin?
i've been hypnotized to quit smoking and it's got me confused!
i have no cravings whatsoever, it like magic 
but i still feel like i want a cigarette sometimes?
i've not smoke since getting it done except for 1 just to see what it would be like and i got nothing from it, i thought it was horrible to be honest, and that's coming from a 20pack a day smoker. i feel like a non smoker now. i think maybe the shock of making the transition smoker to non smoker so fast has me confused and left a void or something
has anyone had the same sort of experienced with hypnosis's?
Hi!
Congratulations on quitting smoking!
What your are experiencing sounds pretty normal. Smoking was a habit, so it will take a few days to start to feel less confused and left with a void.
You might want to find something to do with your hands, like knit, draw, doodle, use those little metal balls that you move around in your hand...something to keep your hands occupied that would normally be holding a cigarette. You might also want to chew gum.
You should get a stop smoking hypnosis CD to listen to once a week so you can maintain your success. Here is a good one:
