Smoking Cessation

 

Smoking Cessation-this is a difficult condition to treat because it tests the patient’s will to quit much more than it will test the acupuncturist’s desire to help their patient. Despite rumors circulating about acupuncture, there is no “magic bullet” that will make a person never crave a cigarette again.  There will be withdrawals and the patient must be strong enough to resist the urge to overcome them. At the end of the day, acupuncture helps to alleviate the stress associated with the quitting process, and lessen severity of the withdrawals.
