How does acupuncture work as an analgesic?

Does acupuncture work for quitting smoking?

  • After a nasty bout of bronchitis and flu I have decided to try to give up smoking once and for all. I had my first cigarette, stolen from Mom's packet (John Rolfe 30's) when I was fourteen but I did not smoke as a habit until I was about 21, now I am 32 and after 11 years I am beginning to feel the kak effects. I have tried that chewing gum but it made me sick, the patches fell off and did not work in my opinion. What about acupuncture? Does that WORK? I figure if I do not stop now it will be too late..... any advice?

  • Answer:

    Apparently the first three weeks are the worst. If you can get through that, then you are well on the way to being a non-smoker. I found this for you: http://www.helpguide.org/mental/quit_smoking_cessation.htm Good luck!

No Mj I paid R 300 and got 2 needles in my right ear, it did not work. I am on Zyban now, hopefully that will work. Have to quit smoking on 9 June 2008. A lot of people on here have also stopped with Zyban. As for the nicorette chewing gum it can cause a stomache ulcer, the patches do not work.....it is Zyban now or never....

I have watched first hand the pains and torment of how hard it is to stop smoking. My Dad had his first smoke at fourteen and is now forty. During my lifetime (I am fifteen) my Dad has tried to quit smoking several times, with Nicorete patches and stuff. None of it ever worked. When my Mum turned forty my Dad asked her what she wanted, she said for him to stop smoking. My Dad was pretty taken aback and outraged. The topic of his smoking was something that just wasn't discussed in our household. He went cold turkey. He was a complete tool for the first few weeks but has now been clean for more than five months! If you really want to quit, you can do it without someone sticking needles into you. Please try, just for your loved ones, just think of them.

Maybe Chinese Medicine can Help you Quit Smoking.

Never heard of acupuncture working, but give it a go, you might even be cured of your liberal tendencies. But seriously, I gave up after bronchitis and flu last year and never been sorry. Quit cold turkey.

It seems to work for some and not for others. I guess it depends on willpower as well. There is a new drug available from your GP called CHAMPIX - my BIL has used that and has now been smoke free for 5 months. He says it was fairly easy. May be worth trying that xxxx
