Calgary Laserworks ~ Your Solution to Quit Smoking Struggles
Are you tired of the never-ending cycle of trying to quit smoking without success? We understand how challenging it can be. Quitting smoking is a personal journey, and there’s no one-size-fits-all approach that works for everyone. Many individuals attempt to quit multiple times before achieving long-term success.
The key to quitting smoking lies in being mentally and emotionally prepared. You must genuinely want to quit for yourself, rather than feeling pressured by others. If you’re finding it difficult to quit smoking, it may be time to consider low-level laser therapy (LLLT) as an effective solution.
At Calgary Laserworks, we offer a safe, easy, affordable, and highly effective laser therapy program. Unlike acupuncture, LLLT doesn’t involve needles. In fact, recent trials in Scotland have shown that it is ten times more effective than patches, gum, or hypnotherapy. Our focus is on addressing the three most common symptoms associated with nicotine withdrawal:
- Blocking the need for nicotine
- Reducing stress and anxiety
- Suppressing appetite
Our goal is to empower individuals like you to overcome nicotine addiction and succeed in quitting smoking. Take control of your life today and give us a call at 403-301-3750 to learn more about how Calgary Laserworks can support you on your journey towards a smoke-free future.

You’ve heard the expression, “If you don’t have your health, you have nothing.”
All it takes is one extended bout on the sidelines of life and you understand the truth in that expression. Studies have shown that any number of things can have a detrimental effect on your health.
Smoking is a HUGE factor in the state of your health. It has been proven to cause lung disease, cancer, emphysema and coronary breakdown, to name just a few.
Stress and worry can lead to immune system breakdown and heart-related issues. Studies show that being thankful and happy can reduce stress. Research also shows that 50% of our inclination to be happy is genetic, something you can’t effect very much, 10% is based on surroundings (job, money and family), and 40% is “deliberate action”. Deliberate actions are things we can control through behaviour.
So how can Calgary Laserworks and Reflexology help with your health?
We can help you take deliberate actions! We’ll help you stop smoking, reduce stress and anxiety, and help you relax, all which can improve your immune system and much, much more.
Call 403-301-3730. You’ll be so grateful and proud of yourself for taking the steps to improve your health and well-being!

What is chronic obstructive pulmonary disease?
According to the Canadian Lung Association COPD is short for Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. COPD is an umbrella term used to describe progressive lung diseases including emphysema, chronic bronchitis and refractory (non-reversible) asthma. This disease is characterized by increasing breathlessness.
While COPD is a disease commonly caused by smoking, and there is currently no cure, you can slow the progression of COPD and improve your lung function by quitting smoking.
