I've heard of people who use hypnosis to quit smoking, but I don't know how it works. Can you explain?

Hypnosis is a technique that involves the use of suggestion and relaxation techniques to help people make positive changes in their lives. It can be used to help people quit smoking by helping them replace cigarettes with other activities they enjoy more, such as eating healthier foods or exercising. The hypnotist will suggest to the smoker that they are no longer addicted to smoking, and then gradually lead the person through a process of relaxation and visualization. This helps the smoker to let go of any negative thoughts about quitting and focus on the positive benefits of giving up cigarettes.
