I have heard there is a shot you can get that will make you quit.

think dreamers right. never tried that one. and i just noticed that when i want to smoke my hand is the one that cant be controlled. im out of cigars. do u got any?

If acupuncture works for some then cold laser therapy may work for some similarly.

But not everyone will respond to treatment. And cold laser may be pricey.

You need will power to stop smoking. You will get nicotine withdrawal symptoms and you may miss the habit of putting a cigarette to your mouth but with determination to be healthy and to help those around you to be healthy I am sure you can do it insha’Allah [God willing]. You may benefit from taking a herb such as Passiflora incarnata or Avena sativa. Either of these may actually help with nicotine withdrawal. Chewing gum may help also.

It is said there are over 4000 chemicals in a cigarette and over 43 of these may be cancer-causing:

It harms you and those you love. I guess you know this and that is a reason you want to stop. Reminding yourself of this every day should help in giving up the habit insha’Allah.

Good luck with quitting and I hope the transition to a new healthier you is light for you.

Best wishes.

The commercial says it’s more effective than gum or patch. If it can help you stop smoking, could it help you stop gambling?

Sounds like just another scam to me.

If you want to stop smoking, look up Alan Carr on youtube – he wrote a book – " The Easy Way To Stop Smoking " it is the best resource for dispelling myths about tobacco.

I have heard from several people lately that their experiences with the stop smoking laser were positive ones.

Many studies have been done to find out if insurace coverage of quit smoking products would encourage smoking cessation.  In general, it’s been found that about half of smokers would be more likely to quit were there medication covered.

When you consider the cost of smoking itself, though, even without your aids being covered, it would be financially wise to quit.  Also, think of the medical bills you’ll be avoiding!

Sometimes a quit smoking aid will help you get over immediate cravings and withdrawal symptoms, but in the longer term will it work?

The goal in using these tools is to help you get through the physical addiciton over the first few days and weeks.  After weaning yourself off of them, you can quit whatever aid you’ve been using and live smoke free!

Are you actually considering trying the stop smoking laser to kick the habit?  Sometimes if more traditional methods aren’t working, the cost of this technique might be worth it.  Treatments run from $300 – $500, which, when you consider the cost of smoking, is worth it.  But how does it work?

When the pulsating light of the laser is applied to certain acupuncture points, it is absorbed by the skin and cells to stimulate the endorphins that help block out the cravings while leaving you with a feeling of well being.  You end up feeling better, with reduced cravings for cigarettes.  It’s a fairly proven technique and one that many people find helpful.

Be sure to discuss with your doctor if you’re considering going this route.  He might be able to suggest other treatments that are more affordable and easy to obtain.

This email was in my inbox the other day.  I thought it was a good bit of info for anyone trying to stop smoking cigarettes:

I am 4 months pregnant. I have been smoking for about 10 years, pack a day. I tried the “cut down” method. I am around 5-10 a day now, but I cant get below that. So, I am going to do it cold turkey. I really don’t want to go through the trouble of quitting because my emotions are already shot, but it must be done. I would love to be able to lock myself in my bedroom for about a week. I quit before for about 4 months, cold turkey. Then all it took was a weekend of parties and I was right back smoking again. I know I CAN do it, it’s just maintaining the will power to stop. I have heard that the physical addiction is only about 3 days of the quitting, and that the rest is habit and psychological addiction. IF this is true then I can just plan on three days to freedom from physical addiction, correct?  And then, they say, 28 days to make or break the habit. This one I believe. After a month of not smoking before when I did it, I felt strange even holding one. It felt foreign.

What I’m trying to say is, if you have a good enough reason to quit, like me, you can do it.  Just plan on a month of struggle!

Even if you’ve tried other methods of quitting, you might find some relief in the stop smoking shot.  Why?  It actually blocks the nicotine receptors in the brain, giving you relief from cravings where they start:  Your Head!

This is one to talk to your doctor about, cerainly, and only if you’ve tried other methods and found them lacking.  Remember:  you can do it!
