How does the laser treatment to quit smoking work? where do you go to have this done? -
A low level laser (no stronger than a light bulb) is beamed onto certain pressure points and this said to help reduce the effect of withdrawal symptoms. This is similar in principal to other unconventional but more ancient methods such as acupuncture and reflexology.
When we smoke endorphins are released in the brain. This gives us a feeling of pleasure that we want to experience again and again. That is how we get hooked onto smoking. Laser therapy is said to release these endorphins, mimicking the act of smoking. Smokers have even said they walk out of the clinic feeling like they have just smoked a cigarette. This -nicotine mimicking- can last for as long as 9 months. It is said that cravings and withdrawal symptoms will be very minor during that time. The theory is that quitting will become much easier.
I don-t believe that this will help you to quit. There is no clinical studies that prove that this method works. It is sill very much in the experimental stage. The Smoking Products link below has more info on the subject.
