Along with the fear of quitting smoking and the fear of acupuncture in general, it takes lots of courage for a person to make the call. This is a time you can offer hope and encouragement. You can also weed out those who are not yet ready to quit. Speak personally to the person who wants to quit smoking. Explain that acupuncture is an effective tool to enable one to quit smoking by minimizing cravings, calming the nervous system and strengthening will power.
Acupuncture can only work if the person is ready to quit and willing to commit to the process.
I always mention that I've helped many people successfully quit smoking. Explain what people can expect acupuncture to do for them. Acupuncture intercepts messages sent by the brain to the body that demand more nicotine, thereby disrupting the addictive process. It can eliminate most cravings, but not the habit. Generally the treatment reduces cravings from 20 plus to only 3-5 a day.
