AcuKick is a drug and nicotine free stop smoking plan exclusive to Turning Point Acupuncture Clinic.

Giving up smoking is one of the hardest things you will ever do. The chances are you have tried many times before but this time WILL be different. With the right support, assistance and encouragement you WILL succeed.

 

By quitting smoking you will:

  • Increase life expectancy

  • Be less susceptible to cancer and cardiovascular disease

  • Enjoy a better quality of sleep

  • Improve your circulation

  • Enhance your senses of smell and taste

  • Have fresher breath and cleaner teeth

  • Be more resistant to infection

  • Relieve stress

  • Boost your self esteem and gain control

  • Have more time without worrying about your next cigarette break

 

AcuKick comprises 8 sessions (ideally 2 sessions a week for 4 weeks) during which you will receive all the treatment, help and guidance you need to kick the habit for good and start enjoying all the benefits of smoke free living. The plan manages your withdrawal by steadily reducing the amount of cigarettes you have over the course of the treatment sessions WITHOUT the use of drugs or nicotine replacement. Smoking is both a psychological and physiological dependency. In order to address the psychological dependency we will discuss the key triggers that prompt you to smoke and the coping strategies to employ to counteract and over ride the urge to smoke.

The physiological dependency, exemplified by cravings, discomfort, stress and irritability, will be significantly diminished by the acupuncture treatment, which will simultaneously elicit a feeling of calm and well being, help detoxify the body of the harmful chemicals introduced by smoking, and strengthen your will and resolve to leave the cigarettes alone.
