Is there any evidence that quit smoking laser works?
Any medical treatment has to be supported by evidence before it is accepted by mainstream government and authorititative organisations as a solid reliable treatment that should be recommended to the general public. For new drugs, for example, the evidence has to be overwhelming that they work before organisations like the FDA accept their viability.
We have to say that we have not been able to find any solid independent scientific studies to support any conclusion that quit smoking laser therapies work.
Now of course the fact that there is no scientific evidence that they doesn’t prove that they don’t work. There is probably no scientific evidence that they don’t work either. It just means that no one to date has proven successfully in an accepted scientific study that laser treatment to stop smoking works for the majority of people.
And as laser treatment as an anti smoking measure is based on the principles of acupuncture, we should say we have also not seen any evidence that acupuncture works either as a reliable way to stop smoking.
Again, not proof that it doesn’t work, just that we haven’t seen any proof that it does work.
And the fact that we haven’t seen any proof that you can successfully kick your cigarette, or pipe, or cigar habit by laser therapy or acupuncture also doesn’t mean that there isn’t any proof, just that we haven’t seen it. And we should be fair and say that we have looked at a range of sources which also state that there is no scientific proof in support of laser treatment as a stop smoking aid.
So if you know of any studies where this has been rigorously and scientifically tested please let us know. Either studies that support the conclusion that laser treatments for smoking or for that matter acupuncture treatments to stop smoking do work, or don’t work. We’d like to know either way. Use our comments form to tell us about them and be sure to include a link to the study.More on What Is The Evidence For Stop Smoking Laser Treatments?
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.
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.
