Katy Perry has decided the time has come to give up smoking. The pop star recently admitted that she smokes to relieve the stress over her upcoming nuptials to Russell Brand.

I'm stressed out with the wedding and I keep smoking to calm my nerves. I do it even though I know it is really bad for me and I know I need to stop. "

The singer acknowledges that she is a role model to kids and is not proud of the fact that she smokes.

So I'm thinking I am going to have hypnotherapy to help me get over it. I'd never say to kids, 'This is cool'. It's a really bad habit that I need to quit."

I hope that hypnotherapy will help Katy kick her habit once and for all! Has anyone ever used hypnotherapy with any success? I'm curious to try it.
