“You’re not trying to quit smoking—you’re becoming someone who doesn’t need to.”
Welcome to Breathe Free: The Smoking Release Activation, a 6-part quit smoking hypnosis course created by Dr. Gary Danko. In this opening episode, you’ll be introduced to the true foundation of this transformation: your subconscious mind.
Dr. Danko, a seasoned hypnotherapist with over 30 years of experience and a PhD in Metaphysical Psychology, explains how smoking is not a willpower issue, but a subconscious pattern that can be gently rewritten using hypnosis. He shares what makes this course different from other quit-smoking methods—and why your desire to smoke has less to do with nicotine and more to do with outdated mental loops you’ve unknowingly carried for years.
You’ll also learn how to use this free audio mini-course most effectively. The activation is designed to be completed within four days. Finish all six episodes within that timeframe, and you’ll unlock lifetime access to the program. This time-sensitive structure helps engage your subconscious mind and create a powerful internal commitment to change.
Dr. Danko also invites you to join his online community at drgarydanko.com/community, where you can introduce yourself, share takeaways, ask questions, and get support from others on the same path to freedom by using hypnosis to quit smoking.
This first episode lays the groundwork for everything to come. It reframes your smoking habit, creates psychological safety for change, and introduces hypnosis not as something mysterious—but as something natural and profoundly effective.
If you’ve tried to quit smoking before and struggled, this course is here to show you that the issue isn’t you. It’s the method. And the method you’re about to use speaks directly to the part of your mind that actually makes the decisions.
Start here. Finish strong. Your last cigarette may already be behind you.
Dr Gary Danko has several other podcasts and courses available to help you on your metaphysical journey, to help you achieve more health, wealth, and spiritual balance than you have ever thought possible.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
