Many people have heard that acupuncture can help to
stop smoking and the results of another study that demonstrate
that fact have just been released.
I often suggest a course of acupuncture sessions to support you whilst you stop. Acupuncture may help to reduce your withdrawals and keep you feeling calm and relaxed, lessen mood swings and curb appetite changes, strengthen your motivation to stop and help to cleanse your lungs. Patients who have come to me for this support have said that they have found it easier to stop using acupuncture than with any other method they have used previously and that their desire to smoke has disappeared with treatment.

Thought I’d drop you a line to let you know that I’m still cigarette free after couple of months now. I’ve managed to sit in the garden and not smoke and constantly irritate my smoking mates by refusing their kind offers of Marlboro Lights.
