Whether it’s smoke or vapour, the trap is the same.

Freedom From Nicotine.
For years, we thought the problem was the cigarette. Then came the vape—cleaner, fruit-flavoured, and tech-savvy. Yet, the result is identical: A loss of freedom.
Whether you are lighting up a cigarette or reaching for a vape pen, you are responding to the same subconscious trigger. You are being controlled by a chemical loop that dictates your schedule, drains your bank account, and spikes your anxiety.
At Paul Matthews Hypnotherapy, I treat the root cause: The Subconscious Programming. It doesn't matter how you take the nicotine. What matters is why you can't stop.
Different Delivery. Same Trap.
Option 2: Vapes
Quit Vaping. The "harmless" alternative that became a permanent fixture in your hand. Vaping is often more addictive due to the high frequency of use. Break the "Adult Pacifier" habit today.
-
Focus: Breaking the hand-to-mouth loop, reducing anxiety, reclaiming focus.
-
Best For: Those addicted to disposables (Elf Bars etc.), cloud chasers, and ex-smokers trapped by the vape.
Option 1: Cigarettes
Quit Smoking. You know the cost to your health, your wallet, and your future. You have likely tried patches, gum, and willpower. It’s time to stop fighting yourself.
- Focus: Health recovery, stopping the smell, saving money (€7,000+/year).
-
Best For: Daily smokers, social smokers, and long-term habits (20+ years).
Two Powerful Pathways to Success
Precision Protocols for Permanent Change
20+ Years Experience | Fully Insured | Online Worldwide
The "Worst of Both Worlds" Trap A growing number of clients are "Dual Users"—smoking when they can (outdoors/with drinks) and vaping when they can't (indoors/in the car).
This creates a terrifying saturation of nicotine. You never get a break. Your receptors are constantly flooded, keeping your stress levels permanently high.
The Solution:
If you do both, I generally recommend booking the Signature "One Session" Breakthrough. We will address the nicotine addiction at the root level. When the subconscious mind rejects the need for nicotine, it rejects both the cigarette and the vape simultaneously. You don't need two separate treatments. You need one decision.
Do You Do Both? (Dual Users)
The Conscious Mind (10%)
This is the part of you that reads this page. It knows smoking/vaping is expensive and unhealthy. It wants to stop.
The Subconscious Mind (90%)
This is the part that runs your automatic habits. It believes nicotine keeps you safe, calm, and happy.
The Conflict:
When you use willpower, you are fighting a war between the 10% and the 90%. The 90% almost always wins eventually. Hypnotherapy allows us to speak directly to the Subconscious. We update the software. We remove the belief that nicotine is a "friend." When both parts of your mind agree, the conflict ends. Stopping becomes easy because you want to stop.
Why Willpower Fails (And Hypnosis Works)
All sessions are private, confidential, and conducted via secure Google Meet. Your transformation takes place in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
Frequently Asked Qestions
It is completely normal to have questions before booking, especially if you have tried to stop before using other methods. Here are the honest answers to the most frequent questions I receive from clients regarding the process, the technology, and the results.
If you don't see your question here or simply want to talk things through, you are always welcome to reach out. You don't have to figure this out alone—I am here to help you take the next step whenever you feel ready.

Do you offer a money-back guarantee?
No therapist or doctor can ethically guarantee a human result, as I cannot control what you do after you leave the screen. However, I can guarantee my commitment to you. If you are genuinely ready to stop, my success rate is exceptionally high. For those worried about "slipping up," I recommend the Peace of Mind Package, which includes a backup session for extra security.
I’m not very technical. Is the online setup difficult?
Not at all. If you can click a link in an email, you can do this. I use Google Meet, which requires no software download. I send you a link 10 minutes before we start; you simply click it, and we are connected. I guide you through everything else.
Do I need to stop smoking/vaping before the session?
No. Please do not try to "cut down" or stop beforehand, as this just increases your anxiety. Continue your normal habit right up until our call. In fact, I will ask you to have your last ever cigarette or vape just before we start the session. We will make that final one a conscious "goodbye."
Can I book for someone else (e.g., my husband/wife)?
No. They must book for themselves. Hypnosis requires the client to want the result. If you push them into it, it will not work. Send them this link and let them decide.
Is the price different for smokers vs vapers?
No. The investment is the same (€395 for the Signature Session). The complexity of the addiction is similar, and the time required to treat it is the same.
I mostly vape but smoke occasionally. Which page should I look at?
Go to the Quit Vaping page. If vaping is your primary "all-day" habit, that is the loop we need to break first. The cigarettes will naturally fall away once the nicotine dependence is gone.
100% Confidential. No pressure. Just a chat.
