Stop Smoking Lethbridge

Things to know before your first appointment:

• Relax. This is not a painful treatment. It is completely safe, and there are absolutely no side effects.
• Be mentally prepared to change your habit.
• Dr. Angie Dower will perform laser acupuncture on your ears, hands, knees and feet. This is done in a safe and relaxing atmosphere and will take about 40 minutes.
• Have your last cigarette 3-5 hours before your 1st appointment because the treatment is even more effective when their body has already started detoxification.
• Dispose of all cigarettes/ lighters and ashtrays prior to 1st appointment.
• Prepare a support network by letting family and/or friends know that you are quitting.
• Re-arrange any areas that you normally smoke in, for example if you always smoke out on your patio, move the furniture around if possible.
• Think of any new hobbies or activities that you’ve been wanting to try, because you are going to need a distraction.
• Have some fresh fruit and vegetables ready and available in your fridge to help with your detox and avoid weight gain.
