Why in the hell would someone even WANT to use LASER therapy to address an issue that is completely behavioral? I am not saying that LLLT does not work. I am saying why would someone even consider something like that? I am also completely challenging the results of this study by the BMA, specifically the success rates for hypnosis.
One must consider, however, the difference in how the government in the UK views hypnosis and how it is handled in the US. In the UK anyone can professionally practice hypnosis as therapy but you have to have a license to perform stage hypnosis. The British government has decided the hypnosis for entertainment is dangerous and therefore must be regulated but that hypnosis for therapy can be done at will. This leads me to question the qualifications of the hypnotists involved in the stop smoking study.
The only information I have to base my opinion on is real world practice of hypnosis and I can tell you without a single doubt that hypnosis is far more effective in smoking cessation that 2%.
