New Year’s resolutions don’t have to go up in smoke

Around this time of year, thousands of New Zealanders start to make their New Year’s resolutions.

And according to an AC Nielsen survey, 18 per cent of resolutions in 2007 were to quit smoking.

However, while a recent survey showed approximately 65 per cent of smokers1 in New Zealand have made attempts to quit in the last five years, most have been unsuccessful.

New Zealand’s first Quit Smoking Clinic in Auckland now offers smokers who are keen to kick the habit more chance of success.

The Quit Smoking Clinic’s pain-free and drug-free treatment works alongside the body’s own electrical signals to remove physical nicotine cravings, and has attained a 70 per cent success rate with a single, one-hour treatment thus far.

Clinic owner, Warren Pearson, offers a second treatment free if the first one-hour treatment is ineffective, with 90 per cent of his clients successfully quitting smoking within two sessions.

Bioresonance electromagnetic therapy was initially developed in Germany 25 years ago and is practised successfully in many European countries.

The therapy reverses the electromagnetic charge created by nicotine that gives smokers cravings. In a process called ‘phase cancellation’ minute electrical signals pass painlessly via electrodes from the bioresonance machine to the client relaxing in a chair. As a result, the electromagnetic charge of nicotine is reduced and the smoker finds it easier to eliminate cravings.

This $450 treatment provides those aspiring to quit smoking for their 2008 New Year’s resolution with a proven, successful solution. An average smoker can recoup the $450 treatment cost in less than three months of not smoking.
