Quit Smoking - Laser Therapy Can Be A Waste Of Money
Author: Joseph A Gaetan
Many people in a desperate attempt to find the magic cure to quit smoking will try almost anything to achieve their goal. Laser is the latest addition to the list of stop smoking aids that includes pharmaceuticals,nicotine patches,nicotine gum, hypnosis and cold turkey. Laser is a tool and in the hands of a properly trained and qualified smoking cessation specialist can be a viable option. Unfortunately many entrepreneurs have parlayed the desire of some to quit smoking, into lining their pockets at the expense of the smoker. Looking for a smoking cessation professional may be the most important decision you have ever made. When looking for a smoking cessation professional here is what to look for.
Track Record
Whether you are looking for a hypnotist or laser technician you will want to know how long they have been helping people to quit smoking, how they specifically plan on helping you, to quit smoking, and how they plan to support you through the period of susceptibility. One shot programs that make unrealistic promises is a red flag
Specialist or Generalist
Knowing who is providing the quit smoking service is worth considering, especially with laser, as many businesses have chosen to delegate the process to a technician who simply operates the laser. A smoking cessation specialist will understand not only how to operate a laser but will be conversant with the chemical, physical, habitual and psychological aspects of becoming a non-smoker. Smoking Cessation Specialists do one thing, help people to quit smoking. If you doubt the wisdom of preferring a specialist, who you would rather have work on your brain, a neuro-surgeon or a general practitioner?
Results
Asking for information on results is a fair and important question. When it comes to results make sure you ask when and how often they measure their success rates. An out the door measurement while nice to know should carry less weight than success rates measured two years later. If they have been in business they should know the answer and will probably have a healthy referral track record as well.
Qualifications
Knowing how to safely operate a laser does not necessarily mean a person is qualified to help you to quit smoking. A properly trained smoking cessation therapist will not only know how to operate a laser, but will also be skilled at handling questions relating to cravings, withdrawal, habits, triggers, patterns of behavior and stress management.
Price
Price should be the last and not first question you pose. Your health and your life may depend on you becoming a non-smoker. If you smoke a pack a day you will pay for most programs or products in 1 to 2 months. If you chose a service or product based solely on price you may be wasting your money and worse your health.

is there a quit smoking laser therapy in montreal?
how do i find it?
Oh, please, people, stop whining. I was a smoker for 26 years, anywhere between 1.5 and 4 packs a day, and I quit cold turkey, the first take – which is the ONLY way to quit. All of you looking for these stupid security blanket methods and fake therapies are just looking for excuses to never really quit, hiding behind your role of an eternal victim of bad big tobacco companies. Grow a spine and quit, that’s all there is to it, there’s no nicotine addiction, no nothing, it’s all just whiners’ victim blues and sobbing.
Oh – and yes, I know at least 4 more people around me whi did exactly the same, after having been smokers for comparable times, in comparable numbers.
Has anyone used Laser Therapy to quit smoking?
My husband heard an advertisement while in Chicago this weekend for Laser Therapy to quit smoking. It is through 1800nosmoke.com.
I checked out the site and testimonials (which I never believe) so I wanted to know if anyone here has used it or know anyone that has and what the results were?
Thanks in advance!
My dad has, it works for alittle while but then you have to come in many times after the first. It is a big waste of money, the results are not permanent.
