Question:
Does someone know about the use
of laser for smoking cessation?
Answer:
The therapy is a laser version of
acupuncture. Instead of using needles,
a low-level laser beam at points
on the ear, face, hands and wrists.
It's completely painless, it doesn't
cut or burn. The treatment is aimed
at reducing the physical withdrawal
symptoms smokers feel when they
quit. Internationally, the smoking
cessation success rate is 87.9 percent,
and has been used in Europe for
25 years. Certain people are not
eligible for laser treatment because
of health concerns. They are: pregnant
women, cancer patients, epileptics
and people with blood-clotting disorders.
