"Twelve years ago I was a heavy smoker and smoked 40 cigarettes per day."

Patches and gums didn’t help me to break the habit, Piche said. “I heard about this laser treatment from a friend of mine in Toronto. With one 30 minute treatment, I broke my addiction and so did my two friends that also had the treatment", he said.

Piche was so excited about the new therapy, he opened his own treatment center in Ottawa, in October, 2005. He also offers a mobile service to Montreal, Ottawa, Hull, Toronto and 25 more cities in Ontario. He's brought the unique approach to relieving nicotine addiction to Ottawa, where he opened Omega Laser Therapy.

“We use a low level laser that stimulates energy points on the hands, face and ears, “ he said. “It virtually relieves all the withdrawal symptoms associated with quitting smoking.”

When a smoker quits he goes through a state of withdrawal, Piche said. “The nicotine is leaving the system and the body is saying, ‘I need more nicotine.’ The laser masks a similar endorphin rush a smoker would normally get from nicotine,” he said. “It helps smokers though the crucial detox period, which is the first 72 hours.”

Most smokers need seven to ten days to quit smoking, he said. Once the drug has left their blood streams, the psychological draw is the next enemy. While they undergo their treatment, Omega Laser Therapy clients speak with a laser technician who offers them tips for living a nicotine-free life.

“All nicotine urges pass within three minutes,” he said. When smokers reach for a cigarette, their mental and physical status changes, he said. “The nicotine causes a natural high, an endorphin rush that reaches your brain in seven seconds,” he said. “It’s a physical and psychological rush. In just two weeks, you can become totally addicted to them.”

While the pleasures of smoking are nearly instantaneous, Piche said the serious damage caused by the addiction is a distant future threat.

“Smoking cigarettes is like a slow bullet, he said. “Over 40,000 Canadians die of smoking related illnesses per year and this can be prevented."

Most smokers don’t think about the fact that there are 4,700 toxins in one cigarette, including 60 cancer-causing substances, said Piche. “In all reality a cigarette is just a transportation system to get the narcotic nicotine in the body,” he said. “Eighty percent of people smoking want to quit at one time or another but they feel they can’t.”

Piche said his Ottawa centre has treated hundreds of clients and nobody has come back and said the treatment hasn't worked. As long as you have the desire to quit, laser therapy works. The cost of the painless 30 minute treatment is $295 plus gst = $315.65.

"Nine times out of 10 only 1 treatment is necessary. There is no extra charge for the first mobile visit. We offer up to 3 laser treatments within the first year. If you are able to visit our clinic there is no charge for a second or third treatment. So far nobody has needed a third treatment. If you need a second mobile visit then there is a nominal charge of $100 plus gst to help cover the cost of travelling expenses.

Bring a friend, co worker or relative to get treated the same day you each receive 10% off the cost of the treatment which is a savings of $30 plus gst each.

Why not organize a group of four or more? If you have a group of four or more people that wish to quit smoking the same day at the same location then you will each save 25% which is a savings of over $75.
