Acupuncture and smoking
6 Answers
Anybody had any success in giving up smoking with acupuncture.
I recently had acupuncture for it, however I cant help thinking that its all a bit of a con.It was advertised that one session was all it took,but afterwards the acupunturest said that more than one session would be needed (at �20 pound a throw) and then said that I would also need herbal lozenges (at �7 a time).The cravings to smoke are as bad as they were before. I had more success on the patches, unfortuanatly started smoking again at xmas duh...
Having acupuncture has had no effect whatsoever.Yes, I know that willpower is needed as well but I cant help thinking that these "alternative" remidies are deseigned to keep you going back for more, therefore replacing one addiction for another. Any views are welcome . Thanks
