Smoking is the leading cause of preventable death. Although many smokers go on to live long lives, the quality of life is often lower due to smoking related illness and side effects.
If you quit smoking now, you will make the biggest improvement to your health you may ever make. Many people hesitate to quit smoking based on the fear of withdrawal and failing to quit. Some may have even quit and started back up years later. Some may have just tried to quit using the traditional routes only to find unsatisfactory results. Whatever your reason, you are here to discover what acupuncture can do to help.
Acupuncture was shown to be successful in helping people quit smoking in the 2001 Preventive Medicine Journal (33, 364-372). In this study they concluded, "...adequate acupuncture treatment may help motivated smoker to reduce their smoking, or even quite smoking completely, and the effect may last for at least 5 years."
