If you’ve tried to quit smoking with willpower and failed, the problem isn’t you—it’s the method. Hypnosis speaks to the part of you that makes the choice.
In this empowering episode, Dr. Gary Danko shares how people can finally break free from nicotine addiction using the transformative power of hypnosis. With over 30 years of experience helping hundreds of clients successfully quit, Dr. Danko explains why quitting smoking with hypnosis is one of the most effective and lasting solutions available—especially when willpower, patches, or medication have failed.
Unlike conscious efforts that rely on discipline and short-term motivation, hypnosis works by addressing the subconscious programming that fuels the smoking habit. Dr. Danko walks you through how the brain becomes conditioned to associate cigarettes with stress relief, comfort, or identity—and how hypnosis can gently rewire those associations at the root.
You’ll learn:
- Why smoking is a subconscious pattern, not just a physical addiction
- How triggers like stress, boredom, and emotion feed the habit
- What happens during a hypnosis session to break the smoking loop
- How the subconscious mind responds to guided suggestion and imagery
- What sets hypnosis apart from other quit-smoking methods
You’ll also hear inspiring examples of clients who quit smoking through hypnosis after decades of addiction—some even after just one or two sessions. Dr. Danko’s approach is not about shame or control, but about liberation—replacing the smoking habit with a deep sense of calm, clarity, and self-trust.

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.
