Quit Smoking: Smoking Cessation Aids
Smoking Cessation Aids
When someone is trying to quit smoking, even when they are motivated and they know all the reasons to quit, they will sometimes relapse and buy another pack of cigarettes. This is sometimes because of the physical addiction they are fighting against, since nicotine can actually develop a physical as well as psychological hold on your body. Although you can ride out withdrawal symptoms by yourself over a few days, it can sometimes make life easier and the quitting process less painful if you use smoking cessation aids to lessen the hold of nicotine on your body and brain.
Smoking cessation aids may be for you if smoke more than 10 cigarettes a day, you have tried to quit in the past and it hasn’t worked, and you have withdrawal symptoms like grouchy behavior, trouble focusing, mood swings, and hunger when you go too long without a cigarette. If you smoke fewer than 10 cigarettes a day, you’re under 18, you have had a seizure or are at risk of seizures, or you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should try quitting without aids. Be aware that smoking cessation aids work best with the right mindset, support, and counseling – they are not a replacement for either.

Smoking Cessation Laser Therapy
Smoking Cessation Laser Therapy has been around for over 20 years, and yet it is only gaining in popularity and acceptance in the US since 2002.
Why this?
Even though there are thousands of practitioners offering laser smoking cessation treatments in the US, it is still in its infancy in America.
Why?
Because, as of March 2007 there is still no such thing as a laser that has been cleared by the FDA for smoking cessation. The only way for practitioners to legally offer these treatments in the US and advertise their service is to participate in a clinical trial study through an Investigational Review Board (IRB), and have clients read and sign an informed consent form.FACTS: 46.8 Million American adults in the US smoke cigarettes inspite of the significant associated dangers. Cigarettes contain over 4,600 potentially toxic substances per inhalation. Nicotine is the worst affender due to its highly addictive nature. Lung cancer due to smoking claims an estimated 442,398 Americans each year. About 1 out of every 5 deaths in the United States is attributed to the use of tobacco products.Following is information that may prove helpful to practitioners for the purposes of utilizing LLLT for Smoking Cessation. It addresses many of the questions that you or your clients may have.
