Ben Affleck seeks hypnotherapy to quit smoking amid divorce from Jennifer Lopez

Hollywood actor Ben Affleck is reportedly struggling with the stress of his divorce from Jennifer Lopez, which seems to be affecting his health. According to a recent report, the actor has taken up chain-smoking again. In an effort to quit, Ben is said to be seeking assistance from a hypnotherapist, a method he previously used successfully in 2005 on the advice of his friend, Matt Damon.

Reports suggest that Ben resumed smoking in 2016, and the habit worsened following his short-lived marriage to Jennifer Lopez. He was spotted smoking in his car shortly after Lopez filed for divorce in August last year.

A source told RadarOnline that Ben is determined to quit smoking once more, despite the addiction being stronger than ever. “Ben was so happy 20 years ago when he quit. He swore he'd never go back, but here he is just as addicted as ever and desperate to stop. He hates the way it smells and knows it's terrible for his health, not to mention a terrible example for his kids,” the source said.
