Acquit is a company that provided laser acupuncture service for my uncle to quit smoking. And it really works. You might try to call them at 1800 228 784.

You're still healing I assume so better quit it and focus on what you need to heal first. You'll be better soon and who knows, you might realize that you don't really need to smoke that thing for your own good.

What is acuquit? I did a rapid detox in the hospital and paid thousands of dollars. Not cheap, but i believed it was the money best well spent I have ever spent in my life.

Actually, one of family has done it and it with Acuquit. The procedure only took 45 minutes with a cost of $59.25 (after health fund rebate with NIB). You may schedule an appointment with them and try this method too.

Thank you , I will check it out ..Have you done it??
Being off painkillers has made me smoke less, it seems that even the smell of cigarettes is bothering me a bit , what it never did before. I hope Im ready. Want to have a healthy life.
When I was at the detox after care, they told me about smells and taste bothering me and I guess they were right...

Try the laser acupuncture to quit smoking. It does not involve needles, instead, a laser light that is applied to acupuncture points on the body. This method is safe and pain-free, and help you reduce desires for cigarettes.

Don't make life harder than it has to be. OF COURSE you should quit smoking, but now may not be the easiest time to do it. Concentrate on sobriety and have quitting smoking as a long term goal.
