Has anyone ever tried low level laser therapy to stop smoking?!
Question:
Has anyone ever tried low level laser therapy to stop smoking?
I've seen advertisements for laser therapy that claims to stop physical cravings for cigarettes. It's pretty expensive but if it REALLY works, it would be worth it. I searched on the FDA website but couldn't find any studies or documentation relating to this type of therapy.

Hi Maggie67.
Stop smoking laser therapy is a low-level laser therapy that is virtually painless, entirely safe and helps fight nicotine cravings. It is an external, non-thermal, and non-invasive process.
When you undergo stop smoking laser therapy, you will receive laser beams to acupuncture points on the body and ear. Advocates say that not only is the procedure non-invasive, it has no side effects. Most smokers need only three to five treatment sessions that last about 30 minutes each. Patients receiving laser therapy do not require additional nicotine or drug replacement.
The low-level laser acts as an instrument to aid the client through the initial physical withdrawals from nicotine. The first 72 hours after quitting is considered to be the crucial detoxification period. For three to five days following treatment, the laser will mimic a similar endorphin release, relieving the stress associated with giving up nicotine.Please look article: http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/laser_t...
Try the treatments, stick to your program and avoid temptation to give yourself a fighting chance.
