How can acupuncture help me to stop smoking?

Acupuncture as a technique stimulates area's in the skin with the use of either pressure, acupressure, or needles, that are in area's that trigger sensations in the brain. Acupuncture is very effective in some people, for example, when they have dental work, they don't feel the pain. There are also some people who have chronic pain syndromes who, when they have acupuncture, their brain feeling the sensation of the stimulation from the needles no longer sense the sensation coming from the chronic pain area. If someone no longer feels the pain of nicotine withdrawal, then acupressure can help someone minimize those symptoms along with good counselling and behavioral therapy. The clinical trials have not shown it to be effective in everyone and it's not something recommended by the public health service as a treatment that everyone should try.
