To quit smoking, you need to make two considerations. First, you have to deal with the cravings, which are from the physical addiction to the chemicals in cigarettes. Second, you have to address the habit or the behavior of smoking. The cravings can easily be addressed with acupuncture, it does work for this. On the other hand, the behaviors – things like smoking after a meal, lighting up when you are stressed, etc – are a completely different issue. You will have to make the effort to form new habits to replace smoking. It is like that old saying, “you can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink.” The role of the acupuncturist is to make YOUR job of quitting easier. If you are determined, the acupuncture therapy can make the process of quitting go more smoothly for you. Also, acupuncture therapy can help your lungs and body begin to detoxify, reduce stress and improve your general health. Good luck to you.
