Cease smoking by laser!

Professor M Zahidul Haque,Sher-e- Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka
A Saudi anti-smoking charity organisation 'Purity' has launched a campaign inspiring smokers to quit their habit within 30 minutes. How is this possible? Yes, this is possible through application of cold laser beam. A laser device is used to generate a 'feel-good' like chemical called endorphins in smoker which is generally produced by nicotine in cigarettes. Endorphins calm and relax the body to reduce nicotine craving towards cessation of smoking habit. The laser treatment is a little expensive but I am sure if introduced by charity/philanthropic organisations or hospitals (in lower rate), many smokers in Bangladesh will be interested to avail of the facility to get rid of their smoking habit.
