Laser Smoking Cessation

You may have heard of the laser smoking cessation technique in conversation or read it in a magazine but what is it and can it help you? In this article I want to outline the background behind using lasers to help you quit smoking and whether or not it might work for you.

If you are a smoker you will probably know how difficult it can be to quit once and for all. The thought that there might be a solution for us [smokers] captures every smoker's imagination.

Unfortunately, the laser smoking cessation process you may have heard about is not the salvation that you hope it might be. This is because it is founded on the ancient art of acupuncture, a system derived without scientific process or rigour and one that is found to be wanting.

Before even bothering to wonder why laser light instead of metal needles or normal light would be a more effective variation of acupuncture, we should also ask whether or not acupuncture itself is a well-founded process for treating smoking (or anything else for that matter).

The answer is a conclusive 'no'! Research from the Cochrane Collaboration shows that acupuncture has no better success at helping people quit smoking than quitting cold turkey. Acupuncture has been found useful only in relieving pain but not in any other field of medicine, addiction treatment or therapy.

The bad news is that this sort of treatment [laser smoking cessation] falls into the sphere of what I call 'meta-medicine'. It is a parallel of metaphysics. It isn't really medicine at all, it is just a 'procedure' based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever!

Whilst there are practitioners out there who will try to sell you laser smoking cessation therapy or so-called bioresonance treatments, their methods are no more proven than standing in a bucket of frogs is for helping you stop smoking.

My advice to you is to stay well clear of unscientific processes to deal with nicotine addiction and tobacco dependence. You are much better off avoiding unspecified herbal concoctions and faith healing methods and sticking closer to the mainstream and always demanding a 100% money back guarantee.
