Is it real? Has anyone had success stopping smoking, fighting food cravings, etc.? Or is it all quack science?

So that's whats happening from Harvard to UCLA and these campus protests. All makes sense now.I'd say like most things, if you open your mind to it then it can work for you. I remember back in college a hypnotist would come to perform for the freshman class and would make people do a whole bunch of crazy stuff so it's definitely real to some degree.
I spent my freshman year at a small school so we only had a hypnosis video to watch. The whole time I was thinking it was all just crap. He finally got to the “aaaaaand SLEEP” thing and the kid beside me face planted onto the table.I'd say like most things, if you open your mind to it then it can work for you.

Afterwards, on the drive home, I felt better than I had in the past 10 years, I've had 3 sessions, all in person, and it has helped me recall trauma and abuse from the mid 70's, I had a clear picture that answered some questions that I kinda already knew but wanted to clarify.I've been hypnotized. I found it incredibly relaxing and a novel experience. I don't know that it helped me with any behavior changes but that wasn't necessarily my goal -- I just wanted to try it and see. I've done an isolation tank before and it felt similar but much more, I don't know, profound if that is a good explanation.
I've also seen it used to help someone who experienced deep violence and trauma to help them recall supposedly forgotten events of abuse. The results were eerie and I'm convinced that what she recalled was based in fact that was imbedded in her mind. Whether hypnosis actually helped her recall real memories or not, I cannot say for certain but I am convinced that it did something for her.
TL;dr: I don't buy the claims of behavior change but personally I think there is something there and I found it interesting.
