Can a Laser Help You Quit Smoking?
NEW YORK, Dec. 3 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately 46.5 million adults in the
United States are smokers. For every nicotine-addicted person attempting to
quit, another one starts and the perilous cycle continues. Now, there's new
hope for people battling nicotine addiction, and it doesn't involve a patch,
pill, or mint-flavored gum. A 30-year-old international laser technology that
virtually eases all withdrawal symptoms attributed to quitting smoking has
finally arrived in the US.
Already, the FDA has ruled the 30-year-old low-level laser therapy as a
"non-significant" risk. One patient who has used the laser therapy so far
says, "I feel great, have renewed energy and I have no more cravings or
desires to smoke. It's amazing." This progressive step by an Institutional
Review Board (IRB) makes Freedom Laser Therapy, Inc. the first full-scale
clinic approved to operate through clinical trials to treat nicotine addiction
in the U.S.
The first office of Freedom Laser Therapy, Inc. opened in Santa Monica,
California. Additional clinics are scheduled to open in Detroit, Chicago, Ft.
Lauderdale, and Scottsdale by year's end.

BACKGROUND:
Low-Level-Laser Therapy for treatment of nicotine addiction operates on
principles similar to those used in acupressure point therapy where specific
energy points on the subject's ears, face and hands are stimulated by a soft
laser light. One 30-minute treatment includes the laser procedure, education
on coping with cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and advice on remaining
addiction-free. International clinical studies have revealed success rates as
high as 85% to permanently end smokers' addictions.
