Friend swears by Paul McKenna and just listens again to the CD when cravings hit. However, I must say that this friend was very motivated to quit and strongly believed that hypnosis would work for him and that McKenna would be the right person for the job.

That sounds really difficult! Good luck. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-nicotine-cravings-ever-go-away/847686.md?page=2)
