Smoking

“With MTU Hypnosis it didn't take long – I quit right away even with alcohol and or golfing, I didn't smoke. It was no big deal to quit. I smoked 2 to 3 packs of cigarettes a day for 50 years. I tried cold turkey 10 times.”

“A pack and a half to 2 packs a day….40 year habit and I don't miss it. My friend commented ‐ after 1 beer-I would have been sucking on a cigarette. I don't even feel the need to have a cigarette.”
