Hi,
Details of issue are needed to understand the causes of it.
Though through hypnosis your addiction and fear can be overcome easily, as it directly deals with subconscious mind (where our most hidden memories and past resides)

most smokers probably made at least one serious attempt to stop. But it's rare to stop smoking on your first attempt — especially if you try to do it without help. You're much more likely to be able to stop smoking if you use medications and counseling, which have both been proved effective, especially in combination.
Next Steps
Medications help you cope by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings, while behavioral treatments help you develop the skills you need to give up tobacco for good. The more time you spend with a counselor, the better your treatment results will be.
