Jeanne, 80 years old, has not smoked for 20 years thanks to the Chiapi method.
“My husband and I used to smoke so much that we no longer counted our cigarettes. So, one day I decided to stop smoking when I realised I was lighting up a cigarette while another one was still burning in the ashtray. During the acupuncture session to stop smoking, I was telling myself - it won’t be possible for me not to take any cigarettes tomorrow … And yet, after the treatment, I no longer felt like smoking at all; it’s been 20 years now and I never touched a cigarette
since.”

Thanks to acupuncture, I have not smoked for 20 years. I chose this method because it’s quicker. When you leave the practice of the acupuncturist, you are rid of tobacco! You never think about it again.

I have been smoking for 30 years and I think it’s silly. I have no pleasure anymore, each puff irritates my throat, my nose, … I get no pleasure out of it. So when a couple of friends of mine told me they’d stopped smoking with the Chiapi method, I decided to see a professional.

My father stopped smoking 30 years ago with the Chiapi method. When I felt I was ready to stop, I asked him for the address of his acupuncturist since the method was so effective; my father was a heavy smoker – at least 2 packets a day- and he stopped without any difficulty.

The first acupuncture session enabled me to cut down considerably on my smoking. I went from one packet and a half to 8 cigarettes a day. It was my first objective, since I was too stressed then and worried about family problems to stop altogether. 2 months ago, I had a second session (6 months after the first one) and I don’t smoke anymore.

I have had acupuncture 3 times in the last 12 years. The relapses are my own fault: I think quite wrongly that I am stronger than the cigarette and I believe I can just smoke one from time to time. I don’t blame the method since, after each session, I no longer feel like smoking and I can then spend months and years without any cigarette.

Being on medication for a high cholesterol level, I didn’t want to stop smoking with more medication, as did my wife. She was not very relaxed, rather nervous and restless and she put on 12 pounds … Acupuncture then seemed a good solution … Colleagues at work told me about it. They’d stopped smoking with this method 5 years ago, without any problem.
Rosalie
I started to stop smoking by myself, without any method, but it was agony. I was like a lion in a cage, aggressive, obsessed with cigarettes to the point of dreaming about it and then waking up with a start. A friend of mine told me about the Chiapi method. The effect was immediate … One single session was enough to eliminate the withdrawal symptoms which had made my life hell for nearly a
year.
