PERSONALIZED SMOKING
CESSATION PROGRAM

"Quitting smoking is easy. I've done it a thousand times."
Mark Twain

Acupuncture is not a panacea or a magic cure in the treatment of any addiction, including smoking. But, acupuncture is effective in making it easier to quit and remain smoke-free for good.

How it works: You will commit to 5 acupuncture treatments in 2 weeks. The first appointment is a 90 minute consult and treatment followed by four 30 minute private acupuncture treatments within a 2 week period. It is crucial for you to receive these treatments within the 14 days in order to break the habit and address withdrawal symptoms.

During the first visit we want to learn as much as possible about your smoking habits so that we can design a personalized program to ensure your success to quit smoking. For example, is smoking a significant part of your self-image? And if it is, why is that important? When and why do you smoke? Do you smoke when you are nervous or bored? When you are eating or drinking? Smoking is probably the activity you perform most often every day. We are talking about stopping the thing you do most often every single day. Your entire nervous system has learned to respond to this behavior. So much so that we think smoking is something that calms us. That of course, isn't true. The reason we think smoking calms us is because smoking stops the withdrawal symptoms. It is the withdrawal symptoms that make us feel anxious. So the fact is that smoking is actually the thing that causes us to feel anxious. Addressing the anxiety and withdrawal symptoms while calming the nervous system will give you the tools to successfully stop smoking.
