How is it said that quit smoking laser therapy works?

Quit smoking laser therapy has been around for some time.  Some claim that laser therapy to stop smoking and kick the cigarettes has been around, and successful, for over 30 years.

The laser therapy for stopping smoking is called low level laser therapy. Low level laser therapy produces a cool laser beam that is used according to the principals of acupuncture.

The laser beam is directed into or onto acupressure points. The intention of doing this is to make the body release endorphins which will, in turn, act to block the cravings associated with nicotine withdrawal, and therefore make it easier to quit smoking because the withdrawals and cravings associated with stopping putting nicotine into the body are lessened or stopped altogether. This is achieved by directing the laser beam onto points where nerve endings are stimulated.

It is said that a relatively small number of treatments is adequate for the majority of smokers to be able to quit. We have even seen claims that only one treatment should be sufficient for most people to allow them to stop smoking successfully. Sessions are usually short, around 30 minutes or so.

Are you really giving up smoking if you’re “just having one more cigarette”?

If you’ve tried giving up you’ll know what it’s like.

I’ll just have one more and then I’ll be giving up. OR, I’m at a party so I’m allowed, if I just have one.

OR, perhaps if I just have a puff of hers that will be ok, it will only be a puff.

OR. I’ll cut down to one a day, once I’ve got that mastered then I’ll quit smoking for good.

We think you know the answer to those questions yourself.

If you’re smoking you’re smoking. One, a dozen, a hundred or a puff. You’re smoking if you have any.

What does “just one more” do? It puts off the inevitable, it just puts off the difficulty of quitting smoking. It puts nicotine back into your system and recharges it for another surge of withdrawals when the nicotine starts leaving your system.

Don’t give in to “just one more cigarette”, it’s a good way to stop giving up and start smoking again.

It IS possible to give up smoking successfully. More on I’ll Just Have One More Ciggy

Here’s a few tips about giving up smoking.

So you want to quit smoking, and are finding it’s not easy. Perhaps you’ve tried giving up smoking already and failed, or are trying right now.

Lets have a look at smoking addiction and withdrawal and see if we can offer a few tips.

Firstly, you need a powerful reason to quit smoking if you’re a dedicated smoker. Cigarettes are a powerful addiction and they need powerful reasons for quittting to help in the withdrawal battle.

So if you’ve just decided to give up because you think it might be a good thing to do then spend some time sitting quietly thinking about it a little more and work out some powerful reasons why giving up smoking would be a REALLY good thing for you to do.

Do it so that when the withdrawals start to bite, as they will, you have some powerful reasons to stay off the cigarettes just as you have a powerful reason to have just one more.

Perhaps it’s your health. You’ve had a heart attack and your doctor tells you you’re at risk of more. What would happen to your family if you died of a smoking related disease? What about your kids? Your wife or husband?

Or perhaps it’s you. How would your life be if you became incapacitated with a smoking related illness. Spend a little time perhaps looking up the diseases that smoking can cause and picture yourself suffering from one or more of these diseases.

Once you’ve got YOUR powerful reasons in your mind for quitting smoking, and there can be more than one, usually lots, then WRITE THEM DOWN and keep that list on you. Write it a few times and keep it handy in a few places.

And every time you feel like it’s all a bit much and you can’t do it any more, have a look at your list of powerful reasons why you NEED to give up smoking, think about your reasons a little and you might find it just that little bit easier when you need all the help you can get.

Is changing from cigarettes to cigars a viable alternative to quitting smoking?

Quitting smoking is pretty tough. Really tough for some, and there are those who look for alternatives to stopping smoking, hoping that there is a healthier alternative to quitting smoking that doesn’t actually involve - quitting smoking.

One of these is changing from cigarettes to cigars or a pipe. Here we’ll look at the question is changing from cigarettes to cigars a good alternative to stopping smoking?

Firstly lets have a look at what cigars are to see if they are any different to cigarette smoking, and any healthier.

The bottom line is that cigars are made from tobacco just like cigarettes are, and tobacco itself is a large part of the problem. The tobacco used in cigars is treated differently than the tobacco used in cigarettes, but it is still tobacco.

The tobacco used in cigars is treated by allowing it to mature for around 12 months and then fermented for up to 6 months to create bacterial and chemical changes that alter the taste of the tobacco. Hence the preference by some people for cigars over cigarettes, they taste different.

However cigars still contain nicotine because they contain tobacco, and that is where the nicotine comes from. So as nicotine is the substance that causes the smoking addiction, cigars are still addictive. In fact one large cigar can contain enough tobacco that, if it were used to make cigarettes instead, could manufacture an entire packet of cigarettes. So smoking one large cigar can be the equivalent of smoking an entire pack of cigarettes. More on Perhaps I Should Smoke Cigars Instead?
