Its not just the nicotine. Its also the other 50+ chemicals they out in cigarettes. Also the main problem is habit.
We have been used to having body sensations which we translate as 'my body needs something, which we have attempted to satisfy by having a cigarette.
When we try to stop smoking, we still get these 'my body needs something' sensations, and we still feel that we want a cigarette. We have to train our body to be more selective. When we feel we need something, we have to work out what it is that we actually need.
A glass of water is an excellent substitute if nothing else comes to mind, as it helps with the clearance of the toxic substances in our body. Another good substitute is a bag of salted peanuts, used in combination with the water.
Another thing to do is to find an activity which occupies the mind or body. Go swimming - nobody wants to smoke while they are swimming. Slowly, as our body adjusts and translates the 'want something' feelings into something other than cigarettes, then the feelings begin to go away. We know its not a cigarette that the body really needs, because as soon as we've had one we still have the feeling, and want another!

The light energy of the laser is absorbed by skin and cells by stimulation of acupressure points. It triggers your body to go into a constant release of endorphins, which makes your body feel like it has just had a cigarette.
I looked it up and found the answer on a F.A.Q section for a place that does it.
If acupuncture works for some then cold laser therapy may work for some similarly.

But not everyone will respond to treatment. And cold laser may be pricey.
You need will power to stop smoking. You will get nicotine withdrawal symptoms and you may miss the habit of putting a cigarette to your mouth but with determination to be healthy and to help those around you to be healthy I am sure you can do it insha'Allah [God willing]. You may benefit from taking a herb such as Passiflora incarnata or Avena sativa. Either of these may actually help with nicotine withdrawal. Chewing gum may help also.
It is said there are over 4000 chemicals in a cigarette and over 43 of these may be cancer-causing:

It harms you and those you love. I guess you know this and that is a reason you want to stop. Reminding yourself of this every day should help in giving up the habit insha'Allah.
Good luck with quitting and I hope the transition to a new healthier you is light for you.
Best wishes.

I know several people that laser therapy has worked great for! Hope this information helps, Good Luck!
If so, how successful is it and how expensive? What contact points do they use for weight loss?
I saw it advertised on the TV. I am sorry but I have not heard of anyone trying it and what the results were. Check it out on line and see if anyone has a blog out there on it.
Sorry, not being able to help.
