Hello,

I would suggest that you consult with your doctor and determine if you are a candidate for a new prescription medication called Chantix

Using laser treatment to quit smoking is based on the practice behind acupuncture and consists of using lasers to stimulate the acupuncture or acupressure points.

There are no university medical school studies published in mainstream medical journals which provide reliable data on the success rate of laser treatments 12 months after treatment. The claims of success rates are made by the actual provider of services and not from a double blind study performed by a reputable medically controlled study.
