Smoking Cessation and Acupuncture Special Offer

Quitting smoking or other tobacco products will be one of the hardest things you’ll ever do – but you don’t have to do it alone. Based on years of research and experience, our quit-tobacco programs make the process of smoking cessation easier by providing the treatment needed to overcome the physical, emotional and social dependency on tobacco.

Benefits of quitting smoking

There are several immediate and long-term benefits from smoking cessation. When you quit tobacco:

• Within 20 minutes: Your blood pressure and heart rate drop.
• Within 12 hours: The oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood return to normal.
• Within two days: Your senses of taste and smell improve.
• Within two weeks to three months: Your risk of a heart attack begins to drop and your circulation and lung function improve, making physical activity easier.
• Within one to nine months: Coughing, sinus congestion, shortness of breath and fatigue decrease and you have more energy.
• Within one year: Your risk of heart disease drops in half.
• Within five years: Your risk of stroke is similar to people who have never smoked.
• Within 10 years: Your risk of lung cancer drops to about half that of a smoker, and your risk of mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, kidney and pancreas cancer also decreases.

Smoking cessation and acupuncture

Our tobacco treatment team also works with other specialists at Henry Ford to provide streamlined referrals and coordinated care, when necessary. This includes complementary and alternative medicine practitioners in the Center for Integrative Medicine (CIM). Acupuncture, in particular, may help increase your chances of quitting tobacco for good.
