Each year, hundreds of people attempt to stop smoking with hypnosis, nicotine replacement and prescription medications. Acupuncture is a drug-free way to stop smoking and stay nicotine free.
Acupuncture stimulates natural endorphin release, which reduces nicotine cravings and detoxifies the body. Acupuncture treats many of the symptoms people experience when quitting smoking, including:
• irritability
• sleep disturbances
• concentration difficulties
• restlessness
• headaches
• fatigue
• increased appetite
• weight gain
When combined with acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine can aid in the smoking cessation process. Often herbs are recommended to control cravings or withdrawal symptoms. Your acupuncture physician will interview you to learn more about your smoking habits in order to create an individualized treatment program that eases the emotional and physical symptoms you may experience when quitting smoking.
Acupuncture therapy aids in addressing your particular triggers for smoking and how to avoid them. Exercise and dietary modifications may be recommended to help cleanse the body of toxins and prevent relapse. Your acupuncture physician may incorporate stress management techniques and tips for dealing with cravings.

I did not knew about acupuncture to stop smoking but it sound really interesting. I think i will try something like this in the near future to stop smoking myself, its hard for me to quit as i have tried and fail several times.
Good information. In fact something very new. I am a student of acupuncture and oriental medicine myself and now would make it a point to discuss how quitting smoking can be enhanced using acupunture and traditional medicine with my professors. Thank you so much. It is really valued. I would also make it a point to write into your school to see what possibilities of study are after my completion of the diploma course in acupuncture with the Indian Central Govt. University of Acupuncture ( http://www.altmedworld.net ).
i found some more information about methods to stop smoking here: http://rauchstop.ein-thema.de
there are some information about anti-depressiva which are helping to keep the fingers away from the ziggys.
Good stuff. But you know, the word needs to get out about treatments for smoking addiction. Really, we gotta get a megaphone and start shouting “no needles!!!”. Most smoking treatments are done with seed stickers…. no needles, no penetration, just a sticker. It could really help the profession and perceptions if people understood the possibilities.
It is hard to Stop Smoking at all but i tried so hard to quit smoking because of the fear of lung cancer .
Hypnosis can help a person to quit smoking. There are a lot of people who tried and successfully quit smoking.
I quitted before 26 days and this time its going very successfull, my secret is quite simple
