Guest Report post Posted November 5, 2004 I finally decided that after 21 yrs I was going to give up smoking. I went and got accupuncture treatment and so far have not smoked and not really had any desire to do so. It's only been 2 days so I don't think I'm over the hump yet be well on the way. Crazy how having a bunch of needles stuck in your ear will do this. Has anyone else had success with this? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lanvaettir 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2004 That's how my Mother quit 20+ years ago. Just be sure you don't find another bad habit to replace it (like eating). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted November 6, 2004 Several years ago I quit smoking by sticking myself with needles. Now if I can only kick this heroin habit... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

getholdofjoru 0 Report post Posted November 6, 2004 I quit using the patch. One way for success is to let your self really crave for one day before putting on the patch so you know that it works. Unfortunately, once you start smoking and quit, it becomes something you struggle with for the rest of your life. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joe Hard 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 The only way I have been able to quit smoking was to stay in my room and tie flies.Then I had to show them to someone and have a smoke.The only real way to quit smoking here in Nova Scotia is to go to Jail.

skeet3t 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2004 Hang in there, dude! I can imagine what you are going through. We don't really know all there is to Oriental medicine but a lot of it works. My roomie in college tried to quit- he quit three times in one day- didn't make it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
