Hi, Colette —
A person does not have the right
to surrender his freedom or intellect
completely to another, however, allowing
oneself to be influenced in a limited
way, by another, whom one knows is
trustworthy, is permissible if done
with sufficient protections.
As long as the person consults a
reputable professional, and takes
along a witness to make sure that
no advantage is taken of his suggestible
state, then yes, I would say that
it is permissible to allow oneself
to be hypnotized as an aid to quitting
smoking or drinking.
