Not really -- the smoking cessation angle was not really my side of the 
equation -- I got to see people on the downward slope of what smoking 
can do to the body -- cancers of various kinds, emphysema, heart 
disease. But I've talked to hundreds of smokers *about* their smoking 
and heard the same thing many times -- "I know it's bad for me, but I 
can't quit."

So I'd be inclined to support *anything* which supports a person's 
desire to quit smoking -- because people with an addiction can use all 
the help they can get. Hypnosis is the real deal, studies show that they 
help decrease people re-starting smoking. So good for you Bob!

Wish I had better information than that Bob. :-) But since you asked... :-)
