Paul McKenna’s hypnosis claims to erase smoking cravings in minutes—could this be the easiest way to quit?

Paul McKenna, the world-renowned hypnotist, has revealed a method that claims to break smoking addiction overnight—no patches, no willpower, just 25 minutes of hypnosis. And for some, it’s working like magic.

For years, quitting smoking has been a battle fought with nicotine patches, gum, and sheer determination. But now, McKenna’s technique is making people ditch cigarettes instantly, with one man describing the change as “like a switch.”

A Hypnotic Breakthrough

McKenna’s exclusive 25-minute hypnosis session, released in partnership with The Sun, is reportedly helping thousands walk away from cigarettes forever. The method taps into the subconscious mind, rewiring the brain to reject nicotine.

Daniel Flower, 48, from North West London, smoked for 10 years before discovering McKenna’s techniques. “I was a 40-a-day smoker, completely addicted. I believed I’d never stop,” he said.

But after just one session of McKenna’s hypnosis, Daniel’s craving vanished. “I listened, and the next morning, I threw my cigarettes in the bin. No withdrawals, no cravings—it was that quick.”

From Chain Smoker to Smoke-Free Overnight

Daniel’s transformation didn’t stop at quitting smoking. Inspired by McKenna’s methods, he also lost a staggering 12 and a half stone. “The hypnosis worked so well, I used the same principles to lose weight too,” he explained.

McKenna’s programme involves several visualisation techniques, including “Hindsight Ahead of Time,” “The Swish,” and “The Calm Anchor.” These mental exercises help smokers reprogram their relationship with cigarettes, making them feel repulsed by the habit.

The Power of the Subconscious Mind

Unlike traditional quitting aids that rely on willpower, McKenna’s hypnosis works by altering deep-rooted thought patterns. “Your subconscious soaks it all in, even if you fall asleep while listening,” Daniel said.

While nicotine is one of the most addictive substances known to man, McKenna’s approach claims to bypass the struggle entirely. “It was literally like flicking a switch. I never even thought about smoking again,” Daniel added.

Could This Be the End of Smoking?

McKenna’s hypnosis isn’t just a gimmick. Studies on hypnotherapy suggest that it can be a highly effective tool for breaking addictions.

With an estimated one in three listeners quitting on their first try, his method could revolutionise smoking cessation. For those tired of failed attempts, withdrawal symptoms, and expensive nicotine replacements, it might just be the easiest way to quit for good.
