I have an appointment to get ear acupuncture next week. I truly want to quit smoking again (4th attempt in 10 years). I am lookin for success stories. Also, people who haven't succeeded and what happened to make you go back?
Yes it works! I was getting it 3 or 4 times a week at first. In Nova Scotia it's a free service provided by our government. I peetered down to once a week and then stopped going. I had been smoke free for 6 months. When I stopped going to acupuncture and some stresses at home occured the smoking started again. I am just resuming the treatments... hopefully it will work. My doctor suggested Welbutrin as the best option but it's an anti-depressant and I really don't want to start taking drugs that might alter how I will feel.

Hello! I was thinking about trying acupuncture to help lose weight and to help me stop smoking? I have tried searching up information about it but I am not having luck. Has anyone tried this before and if so can u please tell me what u did and how u got through it and what ur outcome was good or bad. Also if ur from Springfield Illinois and have tried this please let me know where you went and how much it cost as that is where I am from. Thanks
I wanted to thank the ones that have answered my question. I will look into those sites. Again thanks.
I personally don't trust any quit smoking method that deals only with physical nicotine addiction. I tried several times to quit using patches, gums, herbs etc but none of these worked.
Smoking is more of a psychological addiction than a physical one. If you really want to quit you must discover the reasons why you smoke and then eliminate or change these thought processes. As soon as I dealt with my psychological reasons for smoking I quit, first time and more importantly for good.
Once you deal with the psychological side of smoking it makes the quitting process easy, no matter your level of addiction.
All that is required is a bit of motivation, self belief and determination. I personally wouldn't spend my hard earned cash on acupuncture.

There is an acupuncture school in Chicago IL and Racine WI. I think that the Chicago clinic is a free one. Their website is listed below. If they are too far away from you, call them and ask them to recommend one of their graduates. 1-800-593-2320.

Hypnosis can be real effective for quitting smoking, long as you really want to, and to that I think you would succeed with it.
Cold turkey and self control. I did it.
Avon health center offers acupuncture, hypnosis to quit smoking ...
AVON —
If you find yourself wanting to eat junk food or smoke a cigarette, can pressing an acupuncture point on your body turn off those cravings?
The medical director of a health service center in Avon says yes.
Good Samaritan Occupational Health Services in Avon has started a new program to help people quit smoking and lose weight through acupuncture and hypnosis.
“It’s reasonably well established that these practices work well on their own in terms of results,” said Robert Naparstek, medical director at the facility, which is part of the Caritas Christi Health Care system. “We have already found that the combination is having a profound impact.”
