12. Ben Affleck

Being a good friend and writing partner to Matt Damon, it’s no surprise that Ben Affleck decided to take his buddy’s advice and quit smoking using hypnotherapy. The fact that it’s reportedly one of the easiest ways to quit smoking probably didn’t hurt, either.

The star of Good Will Hunting, Argo and Gone Girl had been smoking for decades before finally deciding to give it up. The decision came when he found out he was going to become a father and he made it immediately. He did not want his children to be at risk of second hand smoke and wanted to provide a positive, healthy example for them.

According to him, the way it works is that the hypnotist explains that nicotine is a dangerous poison and all of a sudden you find yourself absolutely puzzled over the fact you had been doing such a destructive, stupid thing to yourself for years.
