The easiest solution for smoking cessation!

Scientific evidence suggests smoking cigarettes is as addictive as using drugs such as cocaine and heroin. Despite its known adverse effects, the severe withdrawal symptoms have probably led you or your loved ones to continued use. Within just 7-10 seconds of inhaling cigarette smoke, nicotine releases the feel good chemicals of endorphins, serotonin and dopamine that provide feelings of pleasure and alertness – this is the “hit which addicts”. Within 30 minutes of your last cigarette, nicotine levels drop and withdrawal symptoms begin which make you tired, depressed and anxious – to name a few. Smoking actually suppresses the natural production of endorphins and serotonin and after a while, the only time these chemicals will be produced is when you are smoking.

If you are a smoker, then surely you are already aware of the danger that you are putting yourself in every time you have a cigarette. Lets focus on the positive changes that will occur the minute you stop smoking once and for all.

- Within 20 minutes after you smoke that last cigarette, your body begins a series of changes that continue for years.
- 12 hours after quitting, carbon monoxide levels in your blood drops to normal.
- After 24 hours, your sense of smell and taste begin to improve as nicotine is eliminated from your body.
- After 72 hours, your bronchial tubes begin to relax, making breathing easier and lung capacity increases.
- After 2-12 weeks, circulation improves, making walking and physical activity easier.
- After 2 weeks to 3 months, your heart attack risks begins to drop and your lung function begins to improve.
- After 1 to 9 months, coughing and sinus congestion decreases. Lung function improves, shortness of breath decreases, and energy levels increase.
- One year after quitting, your added risk of coronary heart disease is half that of smokers.
- Ten years after quitting, your lung cancer death rate is about half that of smokers. Your risks of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney, and pancreas decreases.
- Fiftenn years after quitting, your risks of coronary heart disease and lung cancer is back to that of someone who has never smoked.

Those stats are what you have to look forward to by quitting smoking. There is no time like the present to start a more healthy lifestyle!

So how does the Just Stop! Smoking Cessation Program work?

We start by stimulating specific acupunncture points on the body that are associated with cravings. Laser therapy naturally stimulates endorphin production so you won’t experience the intense withdrawal discomfort or cravings. The laser acts as a carrier of frequencies that can train your nervous system to look at the chemicals from smoking in a different way, like it did when you were a non-smoker. In addition, laser treatments calm, relax and enhance the energy system in the body, providing a quick recovery from tobacco addiction. The program goes a step further by using a herbal supplement that helps to remove harmful toxins known to build in the blood, tissue and cells through habitual use of tobacco products, minimizing the longer-term side effects related to smoking.
