Just Stop!
Quitting smoking is one of the hardest things to do; however, it is one of the most beneficial steps you can take to better your health. The “Just Stop!” smoking cessation program is another integrated approach exclusive to our Health and Wellness Center. The “Just Stop!” program utilizes Low Level Light Therapy, Herbal Supplementation and Homeopathy to help reduce stress, cravings and irritability.
Cold Laser and Herbal Remedies:
We start by stimulating specific acupuncture points on the body that are associated with cravings. The use of light triggers an endorphine and serotonin release that effectively and naturally calms the body, reducing stress and the irritability many patients experience during the first 72 hours of being smoke-free. The herbal supplement and homeopathy continue to help diminish and manage stress and cravings while also pushing the toxins that trigger the cravings out of body.
If you are a smoker, then surely you are already aware of the danger that you are putting yourself in every time you have a cigarette. Heart disease and cancer are the most hazardous effects of smoking, but there are a slew of other conditions that effect smokers on a daily basis. We won’t rehash these detrimental effects here, but we will explain how quitting smoking adds years to your life:
- Within 20 minutes after you smoke that last cigarette, your body begins a series of changes that continue for years
- 12 hours after quitting, carbon monoxide levels in your blood drops to normal
- After 24 hours, your lungs begin to clear out accumulated mucous and tar. Your pulse rate and blood pressure begin to lower
- After 48 hours, your sense of smell and taste begin to improve as nicotine is eliminated from your body
- After 72 hours, your bronchial tubes begin to relax, making breathing easier and Lung capacity increases
- After 2 to 12 weeks, circulation improves, making walking and physical activity easier
- After 2 weeks to 3 months, your heart attack risk begins to drop and your lung function begins to improve
- One to 9 months after quitting, coughing and sinus congestion decreases. Lung function improves, shortness of breath decreases, energy level increases
- 1 year after quitting, your added risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smokers
- Two to three years after quitting, female ex-smokers have no higher risk of a heart disease death, compared to non-smokers.
Five years after quitting, an ex-smoker’s risk of a lung cancer death drops 60 percent lower than for a current smoker.
Ten years after quitting, male ex-smokers have no high risk of a heart disease death, compared to non-smokers.
Smoking also contributes to wrinkled skin, impotence, and infertility; decreased sensitivity in the senses of taste, touch, and smell; and a depressed immune system.
- 10 years after quitting, your lung cancer death rate is about half that of a smokers. Your risks of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas decreases
- 15 years after quitting, your risk of coronary heart disease and lung cancer is back to that of someone who has never smoked
We understand that quitting smoking can be more difficult and more intense in cravings than those of a habitual heroin user. We are proud to offer the “Just Stop!” program and believe it is one of the best, most successful and easiest ways to “Just Stop!”.

Cigarette Facts

- Tobacco kills up to half of its regular users.
- Tobacco caused 100 million deaths in the 20th century.
- Cigarettes are one of few products which can be sold legally which can harm and even kill you over time if used as intended.
- Scientists claim the average smoker will lose 14 years of their life due to smoking.
- Europe has a slightly larger gap (46% of men smoke, 26% of women smoke), while most other regions have few women smokers. The stats: Africa (29% of men smoke, 4% of women smoke); Southeast Asia (44% of men, 4% of women), Western Pacific (60% of men, 8% of women).
- Nicotine reaches the brain within 10 seconds after smoke is inhaled. It has been found in every part of the body and in breast milk.
- Sugar approximates to roughly 20% of a cigarette, and many diabetics are unaware of this secret sugar intake. Also, the effect of burning sugar is unknown.
- ‘Lite’ cigarettes are produced by infusing tobacco with CO2 and super heating it until the tobacco ‘puffs up’ like expanding foam. The expanded tobacco then fills the same paper tube as ‘regular’ tobacco.
- Smokers draw on ‘lite’ and menthol cigarettes harder (on average) than regular cigarettes; causing the same overall levels of tar and nicotine to be consumed.
