The best way to reduce cravings is to quickly detox the body of nicotine. Alcoholics must never have a drink again and cigarettes are a much worse addiction, once you stop you must never have even a single puff or you are back on the road to smoking.
The BMA did a 4 year study and found the following in the first year:
Hypnosis stops 2 %
Cold Turkey 3%
The Gum stops 5%
The Patch stops 8%
Zyban ( wellbutrin ) 27%
Low Level Laser Therapy 85%
The only method that uses a detox program is low level lasers

WTF is this and where did you get these "facts"?
I can tell you from direct personal experience that hypnosis stops well over 2%. I well crafted hypnosis program delivered by a competent hypnotist can eliminate the desire to smoke and thus eliminate the act of smoking.
Maybe your numbers came from someone selling Low Level Laser Therapy. Currently my success in using hypnosis for smoking cessation in clients is 89%. This is the number that we have derived from 3 month, six month and one year follow-up questionnaires. My personal belief is that my hypnosis program is effective in over 95% of the cases, but we often loose contact with clients and in an attempt to not skew the numbers in our favor we count a non-reply as a failure. This makes our numbers artificially low, but I am happy with it that way.
I would be willing to offer a free audio recording to anyone who wishes to stop smoking.
