Hi

Has anyone tried the soft laser therapy treatment to quit smoking. If so, please share your experience.

My friend has an opportunity to get a nationwide franchise from a chain of leading international co which offers this treatment and has approached me for financing/partnership.

THis is basically what the treatment/therapy is

A “soft” laser is used to target specific energy points on the hands, ears, nose and wrists. It’s a painless process which generates endorphins, the natural happy chemicals in the body. This stimulation helps reduce the cravings, stress and withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting smoking. The first session takes about one hour (and includes a pre-treatment chat) and a shorter, follow-up session is sometimes (but not always) needed.

Just wanted to get some feedback in case someone has used it

Best regards and thanks

AJ

lol. I don't think anyone would actually think that would work. My friends have used those water vapor cigarettes to stop smoking and it has worked for them.

Is that the "Breathe Laser Therapy"?

A former NFL player and now sportscaster for the Vikings endorses it... I've always wondered how it works.

Any +ve studies in peer reviewed medical journals? I doubt it, doesn't mean it isn't a good investment though, people will buy any old horse **** if you tell them it tastes like sugar.

Wow. Lasers can pretty much do anything nowadays. Maybe the three sea shells were actually lasers.

Forget lasers, I've got this great opportunity to invest in a new pill that immediately ceases all nicotine cravings. It's called Placebo. What do you think, should I invest?

Demolition Man was so far ahead of its time.

I tried the laser approach when I quit smoking, but Mini Me kept humping it, so I went cold turkey instead.
