There are some who maintain that quit smoking laser therapy is a fraud.

According to a report in June 2006 by consumeraffairs.com the public consumer watchdog group “Public Citizen” has asked the FDA to stop 5 companies from promoting their quit smoking laser therapies on the basis that they don’t work.

The 5 companies, which are Freedom Laser Therapy Inc., the Anne Penman Laser Therapy clinics, New Beginnings Laser Therapy, Laser Concept and the Stop Smoking Laser Center are all promoting low power laser therapy as a safe and effective way of quitting smoking.

Consumeraffairs.com claims that this is because there is no evidence that low power laser therapy, or what is called sometimes low power laser acupuncture, has any effect on helping people stop smoking and is not approved by the FDA for use for assisting people to stop smoking.

It is approved by the FDA for marketing for assistance in the relief of pain, but not to assist in quitting smoking.

There seems to be a shortage of good evidence about the efficacy of laser quit therapy. Here’s something to suggest otherwise.

We have been hard pressed to find much, or indeed any, solid evidence about whether laser therapy to quit smoking actually works. However as we have pointed out that doesn’t mean that there is no evidence, just that we haven’t found it. And it seems from what we’ve read a lot of others haven’t been able to find it either.

Notwithstanding we’re not here to tell you laser quit therapy doesn’t work, or does. We’re just here to show you the arguments on either side.

So to be fair we include here a video that shows testimonials from people who have successfully used stop smoking laser treatment. Make up your own mind whether you think that this means it will work for you.

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
