Willingness to go along might explain why being hypnotized and quitting smoking worked for me but not for a co-worker. Our employer wanted a non-smoking office but wanted it to be painless, so they paid for the sessions. At the time, I badly wanted to quit, but my co-worker didn’t. “Jackbooted thugs!” I quit after the first session; she was still smoking after five sessions, but not in the office.
I hope this works.
