Laser Therapy: Treatment to Quit Smoking
The widely advertised and propagated ‘smoking is injurious to health’ is being taken seriously across the globe. However, there are smokers who find it difficult to quit smoking, despite the disadvantages. Now with laser therapy, there is hope…
The treatments to stop smoking are many. There are patches and herbal medicines to choose from. Now, people are willing to even pay thousands of dollars for the unique laser therapy that promises to offer instant relief.
Understanding the implications of the addiction:
The addiction is terrible and to ‘quit smoking’ is easier said than done. Smoking not only destroys the person’s immune system, it also affects those around. The addiction is one of a kind in this respect. It is the only addiction that is injurious to the health of everyone in the immediate environment of the person smoking. Passive smoking is a global concern, which is partially the reason why governments have stepped up on their contribution to the ‘quit smoking’ campaign. Those within a supportive environment at home and work have been able to get rid of the addiction altogether. But, sadly there are still many addicts who ignore information on the disastrous consequences and remain a threat to society and self at large.
Laser therapy to quit smoking:
Among the many treatments that have been designed in time to help people to give up the smoking addiction, the latest laser therapy seems to be catching up fast, on popularity and effect. Laser treatment to quit smoking is easily available at most multi faceted, funded and private medical facilities. A number of addicts have enrolled for the therapy. The laser treatment is commissioned by the Food and Drug Administration and involves the use of low-power laser therapy. The smoking cessation via this therapy is safe and effective. A number of cured addicts pay testimony to this. The FDA consistently evaluates the treatment and the bio-stimulation lasers used for the therapy. The laser devices are used to help provide temporary pain relief during withdrawals and finally do away with the addiction. The laser therapy to quit smoking is prominently recognized within the medical fraternity mainly due to the accompanying counseling sessions and intake of vitamins. The patients or smoking addicts are exposed to case specific information via video marketing techniques and handouts. The sessions are case specific, influenced largely by:
- The patient’s ability to pay for the treatment
- The patient’s level of addiction to smoking
- The extent of withdrawals and understanding of the treatment
FDA regulations monitor the use of laser therapy to quit smoking. The governing authorities ensure that preliminary exposure to the therapy is offered at the investigational clinical analysis of every individual case. The clinical research on the therapy and its effectiveness reveals that thousands of smokers have been able to successfully quit smoking. There are many testimonials and referrals accessible online as well as offline that vouch for the treatment’s effectiveness.
How laser therapy works:
The newly researched and applied laser therapy to quit smoking basically comes from the ancient Asian healing art of acupuncture. The underlying principles are the same – reduce tension and increase circulation. The low-level laser therapy is believed to promote the release of endorphins. These natural chemicals are present in the human body and are primarily responsible for signaling a reaction to stress and decreased energy. The laser used to administer the laser treatment to quit smoking is soft and literally like a light bulb. The laser is directed and applied to certain researched energy points. These points are related to the smoking addiction. The therapy is an external procedure and has no scope for drug abuse. It is also non-thermal and hence very safe for application. The laser treatment is applied to researched points on the hands, face, ears and wrist. The patient feels nothing more than a warm, pulsating sensation.
What doctors think:
Doctors the world over are now informing those who are eager to rid themselves of the addiction, about clinical research on low-level laser. The treatment takes the patient through the initial withdrawal from nicotine and slowly conditions the psyche by boosting endorphin production. The alleviated stress enables the person to give up nicotine easily. There are a number of online as well as offline resources that offer information on the avenues to avail of laser treatment to quit smoking. The treatment is designed to help you contribute positively to society and your own development by healing from within by understanding smoking effects, to self and others.

How To Ask Someone To Quit Smoking
How To Get fef A Man To Quit Smoking
It’s my job to hypnotize people to stop smoking. I also hypnotize people to create outrageous new possibilities in their lives. But helping people rid themselves of a life-threatening, debilitating habit is what makes me jump out of bed in the morning.
So if you’d like to know how to help a man make the decision and take the actions to stop smoking, you’re in the right place. But you need to understand some things first:
1. Men Vs. Women Smokers
Many of my smoking cessation clients are women. They awaken one day with this feeling inside and say: I’m going to stop smoking!
Sometimes it’s because they want to get pregnant. Or because they worry about the link between smoking and various cancers, heart conditions, or other diseases that affect women. Sometimes it’s because they know they smell like smoke, or they’re wasting money, or it’s getting harder to breathe when they exercise.
Sometimes it’s because a cute little girl said, ‘Mommy, I wanna smoke, just like you.’
So they make the decision, and then call me and ask how soon they can come in. If I said, ‘Five minutes from now,’ they’d manage to arrive on time, no matter how far away they live. That’s how women smokers act when they quit for good. But men? Well…
2. Men Are Different And What That Means
I’m going to be doing some generalizing here, so buckle your seatbelt and know that I’m trying to make important points that apply to many male smokers, if not all. Mea culpa, but I believe it’s important.
To a man, smoking means something different than to a woman.
To a woman (alert: I’m generalizing again), it’s a way to hang out with her smoking friends; something to do with her hands; an ill-advised method for keeping her weight down (she believes) and a way to create some smoke curls that (she believes) make her look elegant, graceful, and interesting.
To a man, though he won’t admit it, it’s tied up with his manhood.
It doesn’t really matter how, when or why he began smoking, but here are the favorites:
he learned at his father’s knee
he tried his first cigarette with a crowd of other boys
he took it up because John Wayne smoked
he wanted to rebel
he wanted to feel okay as a loner
he’ll look like he’s doing something so the woman he loves will leave him alone
he smokes outside his office building so he can bond with his boss
he started (again) because George Clooney looked so cool smoking in Good Night and Good Luck (substitute any hot male star in any noteworthy film)
Regardless which scenario, it’s about masculinity and what that means to him.
3. Ways To Encourage A Man To Stop Smoking
There are four or five solid ways to get a guy to stop smoking. And a hundred ways to make him smoke more in your attempt to get him to stop. If you’re a woman who loves a man who smokes, you know many of the hundred. When I retire, I may compile them all. In the meantime, here are some of the ways that have been tried.
4. Worst Ways
nagging him
getting his mother to nag him
showing him articles that say smoking = death
showing him articles that say smoking leads to a long list of horrible diseases
asking his doctor to tell him, especially if he finds out you did
saying he stinks, literally
saying you won’t have sex with him if he continues to smoke
saying his cough sounds symptomatic of something horrible
reminding him he swore he would stop
naming friends, relatives and celebrities who are ill or dead due to smoking
These don’t work because for most men because every time you make the argument, it will trigger an answer that proves it’s not true for him. Remind him that so-and-so died of lung cancer, and he’ll remember that so-and-so smoked filterless cigarettes, smoked more often and longer.
Every time you nag, he’ll offer himself a counter-example. Every time you demonstrate why he shouldn’t smoke, he’ll see how his situation is different.
Soon he may tune out your voice entirely when he knows a stop-smoking argument is coming.
5. Best Ways
A. He discovers for himselfphysical effects in his own body, or stories about a close friend who is very sick, or news stories, or a very smart doctor who knows how to talk to men directly without being an alarmist. He makes the decision.
B. A child tells him, innocently and disingenuously. Kids say the darnedest things. And spoken with such innocence, it could make a stone cry. Especially if the child is the man’s own blood. (Bribery is okay for this good cause; just make sure the kid stays quiet.)
C. He reads an article that hits so close to home, he can’t ignore it. He just ‘happened’ to find this article in the house.
D. He hears from his wife or a beloved daughter these words: ‘I’m having a baby!’ A first (grand)child or a late-in-life baby are especially compelling.
E. A combination of any of the above.
6. What To Say When A Man Tells You He Is Stopping Smoking
Be pleasantly surprised, even if you were prepping this for months. Be pleased, and don’t offer to help. Let him ask.
Avoid saying ‘It’s about time’ or ‘I told you you’d better.’ Instead try ‘That’s great.’ Then stop. If he looks like he is trusting you not to nag, you might quietly add ‘Can I do anything?’ but if you’ve been a nag, steer clear of even that.
Don’t ask about his progress, let him tell you. If he chooses to talk, be supportive and proud of him, as if the idea was all his. Because, truthfully, it was.
Enjoy knowing you got what you wanted. Keep this enjoyment private. © 2007 by Wendy Lapidus-Saltz. All rights reserved.
Ways You Can Help Someone Quit Smoking for Good
Respect the quitter: he/she is in charge and it is their decision to quit smoking for good, not yours. Ask the quitter how much encouragement they want when quitting. Do they want you to call them or stop by and ask about their progress?
*Ask your smoker friends to avoid smoking around you. If your friends object to the idea, try to stay away from them for about a month. It is imperative that you do not linger near cigarette smokes because for most people quitting smoking is hard enough as is.
