“You don’t need to fight the part of you that smokes—you need to speak its language.”
In Episode 4 of Breathe Free: The Smoking Release Activation, Dr. Gary Danko unpacks the true nature of hypnosis and why it’s one of the most powerful tools available for quitting smoking. If you’ve ever wondered what hypnosis really is—or worried that it’s about control or trickery—this episode will shift your perspective completely and allow you to quit smoking with hypnosis.
Drawing from Milton Erickson’s legacy and over 30 years of client experience, Dr. Danko defines hypnosis as a natural, focused state of awareness. It’s the state you enter when you “zone out” during a drive or become fully absorbed in a movie. In this focused state, the subconscious mind becomes open to new instructions—and that’s where real, lasting change begins.
You’ll discover how to quit smoking with hypnosis therapy not by resisting cravings, but by speaking directly to the subconscious mind—the part of you that created and maintains the smoking habit. When approached with understanding instead of force, your mind becomes an ally in transformation.
Dr. Danko shares compelling stories from clients who quit smoking through hypnosis, showing how deeply this method can change not just behavior, but identity. You’ll also learn how old habits—like the belief that cigarettes bring peace or control—can be gently rewritten without struggle.
Listeners are encouraged to reflect and share any misconceptions they once held about hypnosis in the Quantum Life Repair community at drgarydanko.com/community. Releasing those myths is often the first step in embracing change at the deepest level.
If you’ve ever tried to quit smoking and felt like you were fighting yourself, this episode will show you a different way.
With quit smoking with hypnosis therapy, you don’t overpower the habit—you replace it with something far more meaningful.
Once you’ve completed this lesson, you may move on to Episode 5.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
