Smoking Success Stories

This is the best way to quit smoking. There staff is exceptional.

After 25 years of smoking and multiple attempts to quit, I tried laseer therapy. I came in 14 days ago and have not smoked since. I can not remember a time where I didn't smoke but I have spent years trying to break the habit and finally I am not smoking and it has been almost effortless. Thank you, I would recommend this treatmet to anyone who seriously wants to quit. 

I have been a smoker for over 30 years. Trying to quit the habit over the years, has never been successful. I have done absolutely everything to try and quit (Zyban, Champix, Patches, Gum, Inhalers) Over the past 6 month, the thought of quiting has become more and more meaningful. I need to quit before my health becomes on issue. Since trying the Laser Therapy and following the protocal I finally feell a sence of accomplishment and success. I will not smoke ever again. Thanks

I started smoking at 17, so I was a smoker for 20 years. Over the last year I started having health problems. I have tried the patch and gum which did not work. I wasn't able to even go 24 hrs without a smoke. Since the laser treatment my coughing has stopped, and my ulcer is gone, I am more active and spent more time enjoying the outdoors with my children and am also going to the gym 4 days a week. A feel I can finally breath again.

I went to Laser Centers on June 7th, 2017 and I have not smoked for 8 weeks now. I smoked over a pack a day and was afraid I would not be able to quit. With the Laser Therapy it was easy to quit. I had no withdrawels and I could carry on with every day activities. I have and would recomend this treatment to anyone who is struggling to quit. 

I had my first cigarette in grade 7 at the school dugout. I used to steal smokes from my Dad and hang out my bedroom window, hoping I would not get caught! I smoked for 37 years. I attempted to quit many times going cold turkey, patch and gum. I even paid $500 for hypnosis...had a smoke 3 hours later! There were times I thought I would never be able to quit and that was such a depressing thought. I started to read a book about addictions and how they affect our thought process and our natural ability to produce endorphins. I had people recommend Laser therapy to me. I was very skeptical at the time as I did not have a clear vision of how nicotine addiction really works. With my 50th birthday looming ahead, I wanted to attempt giving up income for good. I made my appointment for two weeks ahead so I could give myself time to get pumped up to give up the stinky horrible habit that always seemed to be in control of my life. 

On the day of my appointment, I was welcomed by RN Sheila Baxter who immediately put me at ease. The laser procedure was very relaxing and Sheila communicated on each step she was performing and provided extensive knowledge and tips on betting nicotine addiction. After my procedure I left with a very positive and calm feeling. The laser does work to calm the intense cravings you experience. You still have to put a bit of work in but if you follow the tips and advice provided, you WILL SUCCEED.

I can proudly say I am over 6 weeks nicotine free...no patches, not gum... no gimmicks. The thing I notice and love the most is my mind has more energy. I am not constantly thinking of nicotine. I have energy in my mind and body and I feel like a new person! The nicotine monster still pops in to say Hi some days. But I just tell him to go away! 

I highly recommend Laser Centers of Health. They have a deep knowledge, experience and understanding of addiction and a passion to help you succeed.

This is not a gimmick...It does work!

 

 

In December 2015, I had laser therapy at your clinic, Laser Centers for Health in Nanaimo, to quit smoking. I had been a smoker for 45 years and had tried quitting on my own a few times without success. In the past four years, I had developed hypertension. My health care provider told me I probably wouldn’t need the medications if I didn’t smoke. I have also had trouble gaining and keeping weight on, and was concerned about my financial health as well, since I am just a few years away from retirement.

 

My treatment was a success in all respects. I had to have my blood pressure medication reduced the first time after one week, with subsequent reductions every second week. At this point, I have been reduced to one small dose blood pressure pill a day. The medication I was on was costing me $86 per month; now it is costing me $28 per month. Combined with the savings from not smoking, I estimate that I should be saving $6,000+ per year. Looks like I don’t have to share my cat’s Fancy Feast when I retire after all!

 

I have already started to gain weight, and my energy level has really gone up. Friends and co-workers have been telling me how good I look. The only one not pleased is my pharmacist (probably due the decrease in sales potential for him).

 

Of course, I have been telling everyone about your clinics, and the great support I get from you, Sheila, and from Shanyn in Nanaimo. Hopefully, this note will encourage other people to get laser treatment, rather than trying to quit by replacing the nicotine from a cigarette with another product that has nicotine in it.

 

Many thanks!

I had been a smoker for 13 years and needed to change for both my wellbeing and my bank account. I had been on champix and had experienced all of the side effects that came with the drug including anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts as well as heightened stress and was still smoking even though it was supposed to be an effective smoking cessation aid. I went for the laser treatment and nearly a month later I am still smoke free! While the laser may not have prevented all of the cravings, the session helped me to understand the behaviour behind the habit and that smoking was really a coping mechanism for my stress and anxiety issues. The whole approach that the centre really emphasizes has literally been a life saver.*

I started smoking when I was 18 years of age and continued for 30 yrs. After a few attempts, I quit for the first time, “cold turkey”, and stayed free for 2 years. Unfortunately, I started back up smoking cigars & cigarillos & continued again for 2 years. I quit this time with the help of “Zyban”, the nicotine patch & nicotine gum. I didn’t try “Champix” because of the horror stories I had heard about it.  However, I continued to chew nicotine gum. I thought I could slowly wean myself off of the gum, but after 12 more years I was still using a lot of nicotine gum for my dependence. Then, I saw an ad for laser therapy. I hadn’t known that there was a treatment to quit nicotine gum chewing. I had the laser treatment May 2015 at “Laser Centers for Health” – a 1 hour treatment and followed with their easy instructions. Two weeks later, I had not used nicotine in any form and had no cravings. I still had thoughts after dinner but not every night and no physical cravings. I went for a “top up” treatment which helped me feel more relaxed and have had good sleeps. Two months later, I am completely free of nicotine – No cravings…not even thoughts, and I’m savings $150.00 every month on nicotine gum. Two months later, stopping nicotine has helped with my blood pressure, allowing me to be on a third of the medication I was previously on. I feel a lot better physically and about myself since quitting. I recommend “Laser Centers for Health”, if you feel it’s time to quit nicotine in any form. It has worked for me.*

November 2015 will be seven years that I went from smoking a deck a day, to spending one hour at Laser Center for Health and have been a non-smoker since. Never thought about cheating. Was easy for me☺ The best 300 bucks I've ever spent!

 

Then about four years ago, I recommended it to my 86-year young Uncle, Uldis, and after smoking for 60 years, he too stopped that day he visited Laser Center for Health.

I smoked for 15 years and I tried to quit every new year. I had actually started to believe perhaps I never would. Then I tried the LCH technique. It wasn't without tough moments, however it was easier than I ever could have imagined. I walked out of my treatment and I can finally say I am FREE! It has been more than a calendar year and I know I will never go back to smoking. I committed to the steps in the program, you have  to follow the steps, commit and you will succeed.

At first I had trouble getting over the cost, now more than a year later I realize how simple and effective an investment it is, I offer to pay for the program for all my smoking friends. It has paid me back every single month, 13 times over, and counting.  I'd like to thank the staff at LCH for saving my life, for changing my life. I honestly couldn't have  done it this easily, I never did make it free of tobacco and nicotine addiction until I walked through those doors. I tired the patch, the gum, the lozenges, cold turkey, hypnotic suggestion, you name if someone said it'd help I tried it. NOTHING came close, I smoked my last cigarrette on the drive there, and I walked out, less than hour later, feeling like I had never even tried cigarettes before in my life.

Thank you again LCH, I honestly cannot thank you enough,

Isaac,

one seriously satisfied customer.*

It is approximately 2 years ago that I came in for a life changing treatment that helped me quit smoking once and for all. I am proud to say I've been tobacco free since then! I've recommended your treatment to many, but I truly believe the individual wants to want it themselves though. It isn't pure magic, but with the techniques I was given I was able to get through some tough moments.

Thank you!!*

Laser Therapy is so different than anything else I've tried. The most gratifying thing is that I don't feel stressed without it. I even threw out my E cigs too right after the treatment. My wife and kids are so proud of me and that feels amazing! If I can quit with laser therapy anyone can, I smoked everywhere and for 31 years!!*

I was a smoker every day for 20 years and hopelessly addicted.  I spent one hour at the Center and it made me feel like i was never a smoker at all.  I have gone back for two boosters and they are helpful and inexpensive. The staff has been amazingly supportive and accessible.*

After 34 years of smoking and many attempts to quit, I decided to try Laser Therapy. Upon having my treatment which is now 18 months ago, I haven’t bought a smoke since. So to reward myself for what I would have spent smoking per month, I went out and bought a Harley Davidson.*

If you want to quit smoking then your first choice should be laser, as it is the easiest quit smoking program I have found, and I have tried them all.*

I am happy to say its been over 10 weeks and still no smoking whatsoever! It was by far the easiest quit I have ever had!! Almost no cravings for smoking. The physical was non existent for the 1^st 4 weeks!! But the mental I had to remind myself a few times that I did not smoke, but nothing major. I went to a concert in Vancouver and was surrounded by 15,000 fans smoking and I was really drunk. I reminded myself every 30 seconds that day that I no longer smoke! It was a good test and I passed with flying colors.

 

I have told my stories to many I work with and I know a couple who are going to see you guys. Worth every Penny!! I have saved 600.00 already and its only been 10 weeks. 300.00 has never been so well spent by me. Thanks again for helping me live longer. It was a breeze!!*

I am 51 years old. I have been a smoker since I was 14 years old and have tried to stop for the last 20 years. I tried the gum, the patch, Zyban, and I even tried Hypnosis and none of them worked. I had one treatment of laser and I disposed my remaining cigarette and I have not smoked since. I feel wonderful and I have no craving.*

I quit smoking and chewing tobacco, it was so easy and I never had the feeling of smashing something. I highly recommend it.*

You gotta wanna. That is the first and most important step. And if you do (wanna quit) truly, and honestly, then you will most certainly be successful with the Laser Centers for Health. Hi I am John… I quit the habit dead flat in it’s tracks after 35 years of use. I finally decided, “no more excuses!” In other words I was ready. Once you are there…ready…the rest is quite easy…honestly. If you follow the procedure be prepared:

• to feel calmed by the laser effect
• to feel astonished at the fact that you no longer have the cravings
• to feel the pleasant sensation/relaxation that (what I call the crazies of irritability and mood swings) simply and not going to happen this time
• to have a genuinely much higher self esteem and pride coupled with a sense of well being.

You will become increasingly aware of a major and massive personal victory having utterly stamped out this toxic habit into oblivion. This moment of personal triumph will be heralded by your acknowledgment that you simply no longer think of this former habit anymore.*
