    I remember vaguely in my how to think like a psychologist module at Uni, we were taught to never make assumptions, and that everything is based on falsificationism, so applying that theory on hypnosis, i would vote FAKERY until there is substantial evidence to prove otherwise.

    There should be another option, which to my mind is fair---Can't say /don't know/undecided

    That's what i thought Hypocrucifier, but sometimes it's a good thing you are forced to make up your mind rather than sitting on the fence. Don't you think?

    Its very easy to implant ideas into peoples heads and allow them to make their own and consider it fact, this is the case in most 'alien abduction' and 'past life regression' hypnosis scenarios.

    I have met people who have undergone hypnosis to 'stop' a habit and yet it still requires as much willpower as a person who doesn't have hypnosis at all.
    These are a few of the many reasons why hypnosis won't stand up in court.

    I underwent expensive hypnotherapy at a Harley clinic in London for smoking cessation by hypnotherapy, after seeing an article on its success rates in the metro.  They were so confident of their claims that they offerred another free consultation if it did not work the first time.  I was smoking a cigarette the moment I left the clinic.

    Hmm.. It tell me that you have the power to hypnotize the hypnotist.. Did he/she started smoking after your session??

    But if you are genuinely in a dilemma then its  not honest to select either option!

    Probably your extreme skepticism was too big a stumbling block?

    NO.. it shows the will power that Islame has., That means if he really wants to quit smoking.. he can quit at any time..
