Hypnosis to Quit Smoking in Lille

Julie Bouchonville sees clients at her office in Marquette-lez-Lille, on the edge of Lille, and by video.

Cigarettes, vapes, cannabis: we help you quit for good, without fighting the urge every single day.

Quitting smoking: life in the Lille metropolitan area

The cigarette in the car stuck in A1 traffic, the break on the forecourt outside the office, the one with coffee on a terrace on the Grand-Place, nights out in Vieux-Lille and the vape always in your pocket: here, smoking slips into every moment of the day. And when stress rises, that is where you turn.

Many of our clients describe the same thing: they have already tried to quit, with patches, gum or willpower alone, then started again at a party or during a hard time. Some switched from cigarettes to vaping without really breaking free. They come from Lille, Marquette-lez-Lille, Marcq-en-Barœul, La Madeleine, Lambersart, Wambrechies, Villeneuve-d'Ascq, Roubaix or Tourcoing.

Tobacco, vaping, cannabis: what is going on

  • Physical nicotine withdrawal is real, but it passes within a few days.
  • Automatic habits last longer: the cigarette with coffee, in the car, on a break, tied to places and moments.
  • The emotional role is often the hardest to let go of: smoking calms stress, fills boredom, serves as a reward.

Your doctor or pharmacist can offer you help to quit (nicotine replacement, follow-up), and Tabac Info Service answers on 39 89, Monday to Saturday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. (in French); hypnosis can go alongside that help and is compatible with it.

Vaping in teenagers

Vaping arrived early in many teens' lives: at school, with friends, at parties. It quickly becomes a habit, then a dependence, which also serves to manage exam stress or how others see them.

What hypnosis can do for you

Video transcript

How to quit smoking is probably the best-known use of therapeutic hypnosis and I would like to clarify how hypnosis will help you. Hypnosis to quit smoking is very efficient but not guaranteed. You will not quit smoking like magic, your motivation here is key. And I mean a very personal and deep motivation. Wanting to save money or doing it to make your significant other happy are not enough. I had this client who had smoked all her life, her worried kids gave her a gift certificate for Christmas with me, to quit smoking. Her motivation was inexistent and rather than waste her gift I gave her that day a very relaxing hypnosis! We will assess together your motivation and you might be surprised by your findings, good or bad.

You might be ashamed of smoking, hide it from loved ones. Your health, you as a role model for your children, the quality of your skin and hair, the smell of your surrounding and so many other factors will add to your motivation. The physical addiction to nicotine doesn’t last as long as you might think, your body will be fine within a few days. The tricky part is the psychological addiction, the strong emotional dependence. Smoking is not just a bad habit. It has become a part of your life, a part of your identity, sometimes a friend even. The beginning was mundane, as a client put it “It started out innocently”, often you wanted to be cool like your friends. Now smoking is helping you manage your stress, your boredom, it gives a rhythm to your day.

You may have already quit smoking for a few weeks, a few years. Good for you! You can do it again! And this time, for good! We will analyse what triggered your relapse and hypnosis will reinforce your will and help you manage temptations. Hypnosis will help you find ways to replace this bad habit by positive ones. Our work together will allow you to manage your stress better, develop your self-confidence, have a better life balance with more exercise, a better diet... Our clients often stop smoking after the first session or significantly reduce their consumption. A second session is helpful for reinforcement So are you ready to free yourself from tobacco? The team of hypnotherapists at Solutions Hypnose is here to help you. In person at our office near you or by video, both are equally efficient Make an appointment now to create your best life through hypnosis! See you soon...

Hypnotherapy is a complementary form of support and does not replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have any concerns about your health, please consult a physician first.

Undoing the automatic habits

Hypnosis works where willpower alone runs out of steam: the automatic gestures and associations (coffee, the car, the break), so these moments no longer trigger the urge.

Handling cravings and stress without cigarettes

You leave with anchors and a self-hypnosis exercise to ride out a craving, ease stress another way and stay the course, including at a party or during a hard time.

With teenagers

Hypnosis speaks to them naturally: it draws on imagination, in sessions adapted to their age, so the young person takes back control of their vape without feeling judged. Parents are involved along the way.
