Stop Tobacco TM
Quit Smoking Effectively
The Stop Tobacco soft laser treatment is a well-established exclusive treatment protocol of the Stop Centres to help you quit smoking effectively. It is based on the knowledge of conventional Neuroscience and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Basically, it is a form of acupuncture using low-level laser beam to stimulate carefully chosen action points mostly located on the outer ears.
With over 18 years of experience and in-house research and development, we are confident that we provide you with the most effective treatment to help you stop smoking. Nicotine addiction can be tough, but our treatments ease the physical struggle and smooth out your journey towards being smoke-free.
Not only for quitting smoking cigarettes, this Stop Tobacco treatment is also effective in the case of cigar and pipe smoking, chewing tobacco and even for those who had already quit and cannot get over the urge to use tobacco.
Facts of tobacco smoking
- Tobacco smoke contains over 4,000 different chemicals, approximately 70 of which are known to be carcinogens (cause cancer in humans, such as Benzene and Formaldehyde) and many are poisonous (such as Ammonia, Acetone, Nicotine, Carbon Monoxide…).
- Every six seconds, a human life is lost to tobacco use somewhere in the world. That translates to approximately 5.4 million deaths annually, and accounts for one in 10 adult deaths worldwide.
- It is a risk factor for six of the eight leading causes of deaths in the world.
- Almost half of the world's children breathe air polluted by tobacco smoke.
- Worldwide, approximately 5 trillion cigarettes are produced and used on an annual basis.
- Five trillion cigarette filters weigh approximately 2 billion pounds.

When you are butting out, you are not only getting rid of cigarettes, but also changing your way of living. No matter that you have been smoking for a few years or a few decades, cigarettes (tobacco, nicotine) are part of your life. There are always reasons for you to light up. However, there are even more reasons for you to butt out. Anxious? Hesitant? Need help? Want help? We are right here for you!
At Stop Centres, with 18 years of expertise and research, we work with you hand in hand, addressing your physical and psychological needs during the process of quitting.
Physically
Physically, Nicotine addiction is tough. Research has proven that nicotine is one of the most addictive substances in the world. It is as addictive as some hard drugs such as cocaine and heroin. Nicotine changes the physiology of the brain, (please see the mechanism of nicotine addiction.) When you quit smoking, the physical withdrawal symptoms of nicotine can be unbearable. It is not your fault. It is physiology. You may need some help. What kind of quit smoking aids can you choose from? Nicotine replacements? E-cigarettes? Prescription medications? Or pure natural, chemical-free, side-effect free approaches such as the soft laser auriculotherapy treatments, especially the most effective ones of the Stop Centres? Our unique soft laser auricular therapy protocol combines ancient wisdom, our in-house research, and state-of-the-art modern soft laser technology. The micro vibrations of the low-level laser beam stimulate selected acupoints on the outer ears and certain body parts. The stimulation activates the secretion of certain neurotransmitters (such as endorphin, serotonin, and dopamine) in the brain, which helps you regain your biological balance and reduces withdrawal symptoms (such as irritation, anxiety, insomnia, headaches) you may experience upon quitting.
Psychologically
Psychologically, quitting is a process. There are stages you need to go through to reach a permanent change. From resisting quitting to actively looking for suitable methods; from gearing up to quit to actually making day to day efforts in the first few weeks; from vigilantly maintaining your quitting status to finally winning the battle and becoming a permanent non-smoker, whichever stage you are in, you will find professional support in Stop Centres!
All our treatments include over 75 minutes of laser treatment and 45 minutes of personalised coaching. According to our experience, over 35 carefully selected ear points as well as acupoints on the head, arms, hands, and sometimes on the legs and feet will have to be stimulated.
