Anyone who has tried to stop smoking will probably admit that quitting is far from easy.

Each year, over 40,000 people die in Canada from tobacco use. Nearly 1 of every 5 deaths is related to smoking. Cigarettes kill more Canadians than alcohol, car accidents, suicide, AIDS, homicide, and illegal drugs combined. Many people try gums or patches when they want to quit. The success rate with these methods is about 20 to 30%.

Omega Laser Therapy has a clinic located in the Byward Market in Ottawa and also offers a mobile unit. Their main goal is to help smokers rid themselves of their habit. The method developed by John Piche, a former two pack a day smoker, helps smokers feel more relaxed and quickly rids their bodies of nicotine.

Mr. Piche attributes their significant success to their three prong approach to treatment. The laser is used to soothe the smoker and detox their body rapidly of nicotine. Behavioural counselling during the procedure helps the smoker develop an individual plan to change their habits. Back up support is available 24 hours a day.

Clients attend up to 2 laser therapy sessions to become smoke free. Sessions combine laser treatments with educational information, encouragement, and support. John Piche states, "Many quit with just one session.

"I tried everything on the market including the patch, gum & hypnosis which unfortunately didn't work for me. Suffering badly from bronchitis and asthma, I didn't have a choice but to quit. I was gasping for air! I finally walked into a laser therapy clinic in Toronto 12 years ago. After a 30 minute treatment I walked out a non smoker and I have never looked back."

Lasers used for this purpose neither generate heat nor burn, with no significant risk of side effects, according to the FDA. Some clients say the laser makes their skin feel tingly, but say the procedure is painless and feels very relaxing like you had a massage.

The laser treatment is a lot like acupuncture but without needles or pain. Technicians apply the laser to areas of the hands, ears, and face. When the laser makes contact with, and stimulates, the body's various energy points, the patient experiences feelings of relaxation and well being.

This result is helpful because, by encouraging the release of the body's endorphins during the 3 to 5 days following treatment, patients will be less likely to notice withdrawal symptoms.

This treatment has gained wide acceptance in Europe and Canada over the past thirty years.
