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.

Ruthie's Table 4

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.
