A lot of people in the United States were introduced to acupuncture to help them quit smoking in the past several decades. Acupuncture is extremely useful in helping them quit smoking but there’s a misconception about how it works. I know a lot of people that have gone to an acupuncturists once and then they found out that it wasn’t magic and it didn’t make them instantly quit smoking. In my own practice I’ve had great success helping people quit smoking and there’s several reasons for this. One, it’s a process it takes several treatments, two it really helps to decrease people’s stress and three it helps if you’re completely committed to something. So I usually have people decide right from the beginning that they’re going to come in for several appointments or they’re not interested in quitting smoking right now and really it’s their wife that wants them to quit smoking. Getting down to the heart of that matter makes a big difference. And then I have a very successful time helping people quit smoking.
