17. Courteney Cox

The former star of Friends and Cougar Town had been a long-time smoker since she was a teen. She quit when she was 34, together with her husband David Arquette. The two decided enough was enough and travelled all the way to Brookline, Massachusetts, to see a therapist that was highly recommended in the Hollywood circles, but also a bit enigmatic and possibly scary.

Yefim “The Mad Russian” Shubentsov used a combination of bioenergetics and hypnotherapy to cure Courteney and David from the nasty habit of cigarette-smoking. Cox later recalled she was absolutely puzzled with the session, saying she had expected it to be more mysterious and elaborate or at least longer and more complicated. But it was quite simple and short and worked like a charm! Cox said she used to love smoking cigarettes and that before the session quitting seemed unbelievably hard, which is why she was surprised it worked.
