Two local professionals offer tips for stopping smoking during the American Cancer Societies "Great American Smokeout".
The American Cancer Society says using two or more measures works better than using any one of them alone. Acupuncturist, Cheryl Warnke and Hypnotherapist, Lynn Whitmire offer a combination hypnotherapy and acupuncture smoking cessation package during the Great American Smokeout week in November
“Interestingly, a recent 2014 study concluded that hypnotherapy is more effective than nicotine replacement therapy for smoking cessation.[i]” says Lynn Whitmire, the owner of Advanced Hypnotherapy. “ According to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit, an analysis of results from more than 600 studies of 72,000 people from America and Europe to compare various methods of quitting, on average, hypnosis was over three times as effective as nicotine replacement methods and 15 times as effective as trying to quit alone[ii]”
“Dr. Joseph Barber conducted a study at the University of Washington, Seattle and found that hypnosis combined with another smoking cessation protocol like acupuncture, could be effective. " said Cheryl Warnke, founder of Silver Sage Acupuncture. "At follow up 6 months to 3 years after 91% of the participants reported staying abstinent[iii]. It is important to educate people about the benefits that acupuncture provides when stopping smoking. Many people who quit smoking experience cravings, irritability, sleeplessness and anxious feelings in the first weeks. Acupuncture and hypnosis can help you deal with cravings and stress, the top two reasons people give about why they were not able to succeed in quitting smoking.”
