anyone quit smoking with hypnosis?

I had tried everything to quit smoking. I tried gum, patches, setting date after date, just about everything I could find, including therapy. One day, a friend of mine asked me to be a sort of test subject for a school project. She was in school for hypnosis. I agreed. I had no idea what I was getting myself into, but I was willing to try it. She did her thing. I got very relaxed, sort of like a deep meditative state. I heard everything she said and when I left, I got into my car and lit up a cigarette. I felt like a complete failure. I couldn't even quit with hypnosis. Then about two months later, a strange thing began to happen. I couldn't smoke. It tasted bad to me. It made me feel sick. I kept trying for a few days, then I threw away my cigarettes. Days went by, no withdrawals. No cravings. Weeks went by, no weight gain, no cravings, still no withdrawals. I remembered my hypnosis session. She told me that I would have no cravings, no weight gain, no withdrawals. She told me that I just didn't like smoking anymore. Wow, this was great! I immediately went to the phone and called my friend and asked her where she went to school for this. This was something I had to learn. It was truly amazing. I went to school and learned that although my results were not typical, that people usually quit right away, that the suggestions had been growing in my subconscious for those two months, and it eventually became my reality. I have been a hypnotherapist since graduating from school, and for 16 years, I had not one craving, gained no weight, and had no withdrawals at all. The funny thing is that I hardly ever work with smokers in my practice. Has anyone else quit smoking with hypnosis?
