Personally, I don’t see how this would work, But a friend of mine many years ago had it done and it worked for him, I think they used it on his ear and part of his hand, i guess it works like accupuncture.

I never tried it, but I tried other stuff, But the only thing that worked for me was a prescription drug “Welbutrin” Trade name “ZYBAN” This is an anti depressant drug that for some reason takes all the pleasure out of smoking, you smoke as you take the pills and after about two weeks cigarettes have no more effect on you than sucking on a pencil, so I stopped cigarettes, after a month I didn’t eat Zyban anymore and never ever had cigarette cravings again.

I don’t know what it costs where you live, I think it was about $80 here, but it was still a lot cheaper than cigarettes.

I read this as written by a patient at the Stop Smoking Laser Treatment of Toronto facility:

I got laser therapy this past Saturday (May 6th) and have not smoked since! i have absolutely no cravings OR WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS! I do think about smoking occasionaly…for like a few seconds then I seem to forget. I guess this is part of getting rid of the mental/habitual aspect of it. Hope this helps!

The more I hear about lasers, the more it sounds like they totally help curb cravings.

I’ve heard lots of good things lately about the stop smoking laser, including that it works better than many other methods of quitting ‘the’ habit.  The main problem with laser therapy is its cost, but when you add up what you’re spending on cigarettes every week, the end result might be worth it.  Maybe its expense will even encourage you to stick with the results!!

This is what a buddy of mine, who had tried the patch before with little luck, had to say about the stop smoking laser treatment:

I had this done 6 weeks ago, I have not touched a cigarette since. It was painless, fast and in my opinion worth the money.

The place I went to usually recommends 2 sessions, I have not felt the need to go back for a 2nd one as of yet, the 2nd being 4 weeks after the first.

After having it done I went home and fell asleep for about 3 hours, my daughter said she never heard me snore so loud, so it obviously does something to your body, it is not mind over matter. That was the only side effect I had from it.

At first I did have craving but nothing that didn’t pass with in seconds. None of these craving were like “OMG I have to have a cigarette” it was more like “oh yeah I used to smoke when I did this” such as drinking my morning coffee, more of a needing to do something with my hands habit (if that make sense).

For this to work you have to have the desire to quit.

I thought that last line was especially important!
