Actress Lindsay Lohan is reportedly seeking hypnotherapy to help her give up smoking before her West End theatre debut later this month.

The 28-year-old will be part of "Speed-the-Plow" play and will perform from Sep 24 till Nov 29 here, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"Lindsay knows that all eyes will be on her and she's worried that if she really starts to crave nicotine when on stage, it'll put her off," a source was quoted by The Sun newspaper as saying.

"Some people may not believe in the powers of hypnosis or think it's all about swinging a watch about, but Lindsay is willing to try anything to make sure she's a hit," added the source.

Earlier this year, the "Mean Girls" star had documented her battle to get her career and life back on track in her self-titled reality TV series following her sixth stint in rehab last year.
