Simon Cowell once tried to give up smoking, but failed within minutes.
The 55-year old ‘X Factor’ supremo – who has 14-month old baby, Eric with his partner, Lauren Silverman – has revealed he underwent hypnotherapy in a bid to kick the habit, but had another cigarette in his mouth within moments of leaving the session.
He explained: ‘I tried once to give up smoking, and the first thing I did when I walked out of the hypnotist’s was light up a cigarette. I actually wanted one more.’
Simon was recently hypnotised once more, this time by a dog for the auditions of the reality TV show, ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ and has revealed he found it to be the ‘weirdest feeling’.
He told The Sun newspaper: ‘That was a very strange sensation. Look, I don’t know whether it was the trainer or whether it was the dog, but it was the weirdest feeling. It’s all on tape.’
‘I do start yawning and feeling very light-headed. My last memory was the dog staring at me – and I love dogs – with this really weird look. Then the next thing, the girl is saying: ‘Five, four three, two, one, wake up.’

If you are dedicated to stopping smoking and find the right hypnotherapist for you, there should be no reason that you cannot stop. I help people stop by an initail consultation, in which time we profile the habit and screen the person to make sure they are ready to stop. Once established, we decide a date to stop, having plenty of support through- e-mails and texts. Once stopped, the subsequent session ties in any remaining problems and looks to the future. https://ivertherapy.wordpress.com/2015/01/31/stop-smoking-made-easy-with-hypnosis/
Simon needs to ask himself this:
On a scale of 0 – 10 where 0 is he doesn’t want to give up smoking and 10 is he wants to give up right now, where does stand? Once he has done this he could ask me whether I thought he could give it up.
