WHY ARE YOU STILL SMOKING?
Ninety percent of all smokers at any given time are thinking of quitting smoking.
This is partially due to the fact that, with all the negative media coverage that smoking cigarettes now gets (and rightly so), they have become aware of all the risks associated with smoking both for themselves and others.
If you’re one of those smokers that know the risks and wants to stop smoking –

What Ct Laser Therapy Offers:
-
I travel to your homeor office and am still $100 less than other offices that you have to travel to (price varies depending on the distance).
- Laser therapy has at least a 60-70% success rate. (Compare that to 10 – 20% of other quit smoking methods.)
- While many clients stop smoking with one treatment, I include a free follow-up treatment if the client needs one.
- For about the cost of one month of cigarettes, you can quit smoking and start back on the road to health.
Everyone has heard over and over how dangerous smoking is and how it affects every organ in your body.
For example:
- Mouth- chemicals in the smoke increase the risk of oral cancers, gum disease and bad breath.
- Lungs and Bronchi – When the hydrogen peroxide gets in the lungs, it affects the lining of the bronchi causing inflammation and chronic cough. A smoker is 10X more likely to contract lung cancer and emphysema.
- Heart and circulation – Smoking increases blood pressure and makes blood more likely to clot. The carbon monoxide in cigarettes robs blood of oxygen and leads to the development of cholesterol deposits along the artery walls which can lead to strokes.
- Digestive and Excretory Systems – The tars and other chemicals in cigarettes can lead to cancers of the throat, pancreas, and bladder. Smoking also increases stomach acid which leads to heartburn and ulcers. It also increases blood pressure which can lead to kidney damage. Smokers have a higher risk of diverticulitis and Crohn’s Disease.

Furthermore, most of you are not only aware of the health risks of smoking but also the benefits of quitting smoking.
You know that if you quit smoking you will:
- Improve your health. In fact, within the first 20 minutes of stopping smoking, your body starts to heal by lowering your blood pressure to normal. The health benefits will continue for several years until many of the risks are no longer there.
- Increase your odds of living longer – each pack of cigarettes robs you of approximately 2 hours of life.
- Allow you to retake control of your life – you will no longer to controlled by your addiction to nicotine.
- Create a safer environment for family and friends because they will no longer be exposed to secondhand smoke. Secondhand smoke poses the same health risks for them as if they also smoked.
- Allow you to have more money to spend. Not only will you be able to bank the hundreds of dollars you spend on cigarettes but also the extra premiums you may be paying for health and life insurance.

Benefits of Quitting
If you have thought about the benefits of quitting and how great it would be to stop smoking –
WHY ARE YOU STILL SMOKING?
Maybe you have tried to quit. But because nicotine is so addictive, many smokers try 5-6 times before they are successful!
You can improve these odds with laser therapy.
If you have tried to stop, did you rely on one of these stop smoking methods such as:
- Nicotine Replacement Therapies. These include nicotine patches, lozenges, gums, and sprays.
- Drugs such as Zyban and Chantix.
- Hypnosis
- Acupuncture
- Cold turkey?
With all these methods to help you quit –
WHY ARE YOU STILL SMOKING?
Many smokers quit after 1 session of low level laser therapy!
Perhaps it’s not you but the method you are choosing to help you stop smoking. Obviously, if most smokers need to try to quit smoking several times before they succeed, there may be something wrong with the methods they are choosing.
Maybe you are still smoking because you tried one of the more common approaches to quitting smoking which have many problems. Let’s compare them with laser and see how they stack up.
