Has anyone tried the laser treatment to stop smoking?
June 1st, 2010
How does it work?
Never tried it.
But, here is what the American Cancer Society has to say about Cold Laser Therapy and smoking:
"Cold laser therapy providers advertise this method as a way to help people quit smoking, and some TV stations have reported this as news. The treatment is supposed to relax the smoker and release endorphins (naturally-occurring pain relief substances) in the body to simulate the effects of nicotine in the brain, or balance the body’s energy to relieve the addiction. Despite claims of success by some cold laser therapy providers, there is no scientific evidence that shows this is an effective method of helping people stop smoking. "

Never tried that, but I quit smoking by substituting Extra sugarfree gum for cigarettes. I was smoke-free right away, after smoking a pack and a half a day for years. Haven’t smoked since, and it’s been five years.
