Acupuncture is a therapy that originates from China and has been used since 2000-3000 years.

The method involves the piercing of very fine needles in different parts of the body which are thought to be associated with smoking and allowed to stay for half an hour. The needles are then removed and two needles are inserted in the earlobes. When the quitter has an urge to smoke he touches the needles in the earlobes which are known to stimulate parts of the body which reduce cravings. The whole treatment may last for two weeks.
