14 DAY TRIAL // As you may or may not know, Lindsay Lohan is faced with many problems these days, among which, one of the least important ones is smoking. So, true to her form, Lindsay decided to tackle this issue and get rid of her disgusting smoking habit.
The actress has been a heavy smoker for years, and although she admits that this is a nasty habit, she can't seem to kick it, despite the fact that she has tried to do so on numerous occasions. This time, to make sure that it works, she has apparently resorted to hypnotherapy.
According to The Sun, Lindsay is now undergoing a complicated process of hypnotherapy that she hopes will result in cutting her smoking impulses and leave her cigarette-free. One insider with a firm grasp of the situation is quoted as saying that “Lindsay knows all eyes will be on her and she's worried if she starts to crave nicotine on stage, it'll put her off.”
The insider is referring to Lindsay's latest artistic endeavor, which is a theatrical play in London's West End. When she first announced that she was starring in a play in Great Britain, many thought that it was just a publicity stunt to revive her slowly dying acting career, but the actress kept true to her promise and is scheduled to open her play on September 24 at the London Playhouse Theater.
Hopefully, by then, she will have kicked her smoking habit, and she will thus be nicotine-free by the time she hits the stage. Of course, Lindsay also has a drinking problem, which has actually caused more harm to her personal health, image and career in the last years than smoking, unless, of course, we're referring to smoking drugs.
Lindsay's last attempt to quit drinking was met with a resounding failure, especially since it was all captured on screen, for her reality series which she agreed to broadcast on Oprah's OWN television network.
The series overall was a commercial flop as well as a difficult project for Oprah, who found out for herself why Lindsay's acting career went down the drain and no one in the film industry would ever work with her. Lindsay would regularly show up late for shoots, or fail to show up altogether, making up crazy stories such as suffering a miscarriage just to get out of filming.
If the hypnotherapy thing works, maybe she can use it to instill some work ethic into her routine, that would be hugely more beneficial to her career than quitting smoking.
