Ben Affleck Turns to Hypnotherapy to Quit Smoking Amid Divorce from Jennifer Lopez

In the wake of his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, Hollywood actor Ben Affleck is seeking hypnotherapy to quit smoking. The actor, who had previously used hypnotherapy successfully in 2005, has turned to this method again to tackle his stress-induced smoking habit. Reports indicate that Ben’s smoking resumed in 2016, and the habit worsened after his short marriage to Jennifer Lopez. Shortly after Lopez filed for divorce in August 2024, Ben was seen smoking in his car, adding to his stress.

Sources close to the actor reveal that Ben is determined to quit smoking for good, despite the addictive nature of the habit. “Ben was so happy when he quit smoking years ago, and he’s now desperate to stop again for his health and his kids,” the source shared. The actor, who has successfully stayed sober, acknowledges that smoking remains his only remaining vice, particularly during stressful times.

Ben has promised to start the new year smoke-free, having already booked his first hypnotherapy session for January 1, 2025. “He’s ready to try hypnosis again and kick off 2025 without cigarettes,” the source added.

Affleck’s divorce from Lopez, which followed months of speculation, was finalized in August 2024 after two years of marriage. Currently, Ben is reportedly seeking emotional support from his ex-wife, Jennifer Garner, as he navigates this difficult period in his life.
