FernTausig replied to Arlene Rich's discussion Smoking Cessation-How many sessions"I just want to share a perspective on nicotine addiction. It is psychologically addictive as a habit but has very limited physical addiction. My Mom 'instantly became a nonsmoker' by her own description, when the doctor told her she could…"

Fable Goodman replied to Arlene Rich's discussion Smoking Cessation-How many sessions"People smoke regardless of what it tastes like.
Making it taste like excrement, (animal or human) will not make someone a non smoker if they want to smoke... If they don't want to smoke... it does not mattre what it tastes like... it could…"
John Tolles replied to Arlene Rich's discussion Smoking Cessation-How many sessions"By pleasurable effects I mean the avoidance of pain from neg affect states or distress. If the individual lights up a smoke when distressed and the pain is not alleviated as a result then what reason would the person have to continuing smoking the…"
John Cleesattel replied to Arlene Rich's discussion Smoking Cessation-How many sessions"John,
I did read the article. Their research was in the library, not the laboratory, and they quoted Spiegel's 1970 self hypnosis methods as most popular with hypnotists. The last line of their paper says "Research on this is long…"
John Tolles replied to Arlene Rich's discussion Smoking Cessation-How many sessions"you're correct that the linked article was published in a dental journal but the authors were

John Bittner - Ocotillo Hypnosis replied to Arlene Rich's discussion Smoking Cessation-How many sessions"I agree with you, Samuel. The big tobacco company execs tried to split the "nicotine is addictive" hairs when they were summoned before congress years ago. Part of the reason people smoke and chew is for the effects of nicotine and…"
Fable Goodman replied to Arlene Rich's discussion Smoking Cessation-How many sessions"Well neil,

Samuel Lurie replied to Arlene Rich's discussion Smoking Cessation-How many sessions"Thanks John, but I wouldn't separate heroin from nicotine. In addictions work, there is the concept of "Drug, Set and Setting". There's the physical effects of the Drug; then there's the Set, or the beliefs and experiences…"

John Cleesattel replied to Arlene Rich's discussion Smoking Cessation-How many sessions"John,
Not dentists that publish in the Dental Journal? Single session self-hypnosis results for stop smoking? Umm.. ok.
As far as the relapse data goes, that has nothing to do with hypnosis or the ability to help those stop smoking. Let me…"
Samuel Lurie replied to Arlene Rich's discussion Smoking Cessation-How many sessions"I have never really understood the approach that says nicotine is not addictive. When I've read it in scripts, it says "if nicotine were addicitive, people would be addicted to the patch or gum." Well, people *are.* There are many…"
