OK, i saw this on tv and had it performed on me, i've performed it on about 80-90 people, it works 100% of the time and anyone at home can do it with a bit of practice. Its called hypnotism. First let me explain a few rules:
1. You'll never be able to change someone who doesnt want to change
2. It probably wont work on skeptics
3. The strongest minds are actually the easiest
4. Take it slowly, doing it to quick can actually cause problems
5. Despite common belief, the person is actually 100% concious right through it, You could not tell them to Jump of a cliff, however you could tell them jumping of a cliff would be a good idea and that you'd reccomend it.
6. If the patient becomes scared or frightened, slow down

Here's the easiest, slowest and safest way to do it.
.Make sure they are comfortable, doing this in a noisy place will be very hard
.Tell them to breath calmly
.Tell them to let their mind free, concentrating on it will make it hard
. Tell them not to resist, it will be painless and actually very enjoyable
. Tell them this or something similair in a friendly, but strong voice (Men make the best hypnotiseres)
"Ok >Name< Im going to count from a hundred, when i get to 80 you'r eyes will begin feeling heavy"
At 80
"Well done >Name< when i get to 60 you will get deeper, you'r eyes will become heavier still"
At 60
"OK >Name< You'r doing really well, when i get to 40 you'r eyes will become so heavy you feel like sleeping"
At 40
"OK >Name< You'r nearly there, when i get to 20 you will be completely asleep"
At 20
"OK >Name< Can you tell me you'r name?"
They should answer you, if they dont tell them by 0 they will be completely asleep, if this doesnt work, try the whole process again, remember no pressure.
Once they're in a trance there are a number of things you may do:
1. Tell them they no longer desire any nicotine or ciggaretes, smoking is a wall infront of them, visualise this wall, brick by brick take it apart.
2. Tell them that they no longer fear hights or spiders but are still weary of them (They must still be weary or they may lose all fear of them, this can be a very bad thing as they may no longer understand that spider's can bite)
3. Sometimes amazing things can be done under hypnosis, here's one you may not believe but if you tell them they're psychich, and they can read minds and when you think of a word they will say it. They will actually do it, this does work believe it or not.
4. You can give them a placebo (of a sort) Tell them they no longer suffer from a diesase and there chances of improvement will increase.
5. Experiment, remember if they do something under hypnosis, you're responsible, also you cant force them to do anything.

Taking them out of hypnosis
. Tell them that you're going to count backwards to 100, from the number you finished at, when their eyes fell, there eyes begin to open, when they felt heavy, they now feel light etc.
. They should come out of the trance remembering nothing, but things that happened in the trance take effect outside, they will never again want a ciggarete etc. This works with all drugs except for (I've been told LSD) because of the effects it has on the brain.
. A tip, never use hypnosis to recall memories, it seems like a good idea at first but they have been forgotten in the first place for a reason
. If there's a problem dont worry, hypnosis is nearly 100% safe, i once performed this on a guy who didnt wake up for 3 days though, aparently in his hypnotic state he'd fallen asleep and the hypnosis had made it last a little longer, check for breathing+pulse etc. This is very very rare. I am sure there will be alot of skeptics but if you dont believe me, try it, took a long time for me to believe at first as well and that was of my dad who i trust completely, remember if they're calm and ready it should flow almost naturally.

Solitary confinement with non-smoking guards that don't accept bribes would seem to be the most effective way.

I'll try it.

Do you think this would work on cafffine addictions?

*tries to count down from 100*
*fails*

that way of hypnotism works. When I was young I knew this kid who read like a 500 page book on hypnotism. I told him to hypnotise me, so he did exactly what you described. I got to 18 and was almost asleep ut then his mom came in and got mad at him. I was so tired. I think it works.

what happens if you don't bring them back from being hypnotized?

if u dont bring them back then u might as well rape them as many times as possible before the cops get there

okay, heres how to stop someone smoking. tell them to close thier eyes. push them over. jump on thier neck until they promise to never smoke again, or die.
rinse and repeat, if neccessary, although i doubt it would be.

Shove a ciggerete down their throat or kill em. Damn smokers.

Hang out with them, laugh at them every time they go looking for change for cigarette money, and dangle a $5 bill in their face and laugh. That's what I do to to the people that smoke that I hang out with.

100% Easy Way to Stop Smoking:

Start shooting heroin!

you won't give a fuck about cigarrettes anymore

My dad tried hypnotisim. Didn't work.

Hypnosis... Woooooo... (I dont smoke but the arachnaphobia cure could help)
Naw... my minds already a labarynth without an end...
