Acupuncture is a powerful tool to help you stop smoking. And our philosophy at Raleigh Acupuncture is unique. We KNOW why you smoke. It’s relaxing, reduces stress and makes you feel good. So when you come to us to help you stop, we’re not going to give you a guilt trip about smoking. We WISH you could keep smoking. We wish everyone could smoke – if it were safe. It’s one of the best stress busters ever invented. Unfortunately is has too many health risks. So here we are – trying to ween folks off cigarettes who quite frankly would rather not stop.
How Does Acupuncture Help You To Stop Smoking?
We have a three prong approach to help you stop smoking. First, we use ear needles to reduce your cravings for nicotine. This is a time-tested technique, used for the past 50 years. It was originally started to help drug addicts get off heroin in New York City. Worked so well that it was expanded to help with all addictions. Cigarette addiction responds GREAT to these ear needles.
Second, we add points on the body to reduce your stress. Anyone who has tried to quit before knows that it’s very stressful. Acupuncture reduces both emotional and physical stress. This is an essential part of the treatment. When you get acupuncture to reduce stress, it not only chills you out during the treatment. The effects last. That’s because the points we use boost your body’s ability to handle stress. Acupuncture teaches your body to handle stress better. That’s a good tool for your toolbox.
The third thing we do during your treatment is address your particular physical imbalances. Chinese medicine resolves pain and cures diseases by identifying the particular imbalances that you have and then correcting them. In other words, acupuncture brings you back into balance. It’s like cars in the old days that needed tune-ups at the mechanics. We are health mechanics, and acupuncture provides the best tune-up that money can buy.
What To Expect From Your Stop Smoking Acupuncture

After your treatments you will feel relaxed and rejuvenated. You will have less cravings for cigarettes and more will power to stop.

What our Clients are Saying
I was smoking a pack a day when I started acupuncture. Within two weeks I was down to a single cigarette in the morning. I told them I didn’t want to give up the last cigarette and they said, no problem. It’s been three months and I’m still just smoking one cigarette a day. I can live with that. They didn’t try to push me or make me feel bad. They just met me where I was. I appreciate that. I recommend Raleigh Acupuncture as a practice. They are good.
I thought I would smoke cigarettes forever, until my doctor gave me the ultimatum. Tried cold turkey. No go. Tried the patch. Ditto. Just about gave up trying when my cousin dragged me to acupuncture. I won’t lie to you and say it was easy, but on the other hand I am convinced there is not a single other thing in this world that could have got me off cigarettes. That’s the honest truth. I’m sure now something else is gonna kill me, but at least it won’t be smokes!
I stopped smoking from going to Raleigh Acupuncture. The treatments were comfortable. They put needles in my ears that took away the cravings. I went from 10 cigarettes a day to 2 in the first week. It took another week to go to zero cigarettes. There’s no way I could have stopped without this. I tried the patch and welbutrin before, but it didn’t work. The acupuncture actually made the cigarettes taste bad to me. I never thought that would happen. These guys are good. If you’re a smoker and can’t quit, try acupuncture with them. It really works.
