Acupuncture to quit smoking?

For quite smoking should I use electro acupuncture every time? What points should I use for electro acupuncture. Like connecting Lung 1 and Lung 2. Any other suggestions would be helpful.

Acupuncture is very helpful

Acupuncture is very helpful for helping people quit smoking.  Some of the more common protocols used are found on the Acupuncture for Smoking Cessation section.  The article "ang67" recommends is also good reading as it discusses the relatively difficult nature of smoking addiction and treatment.  It is often much easier to help people with hard drug addictions like heroin, or cocaine, than it is smoking due to the many triggers involved.  In a person who is ready to quit, however, acupuncture and some minor lifestyle and dietary changes is very helpful.
