I’m looking for ways to quit smoking and came across the terminology “Cold Turkey exercise”. What are Cold turkey and acupuncture methods? Are they really helpful? Is there another method available to quit smoking.

    Cold Turkey exercise means quitting straight forward at once. Like just waking up after a night’s sleep and deciding not to smoke anymore.
    Ear acupuncture is the most common form of acupuncture treatment to help quit smoking. Often, small ear seeds can be placed with tape over the useful points in the ear, and allow you to stimulate these points at home between treatments. Do consult an acupuncturist or community acupuncture clinic where you can receive treatment several times per week.
    Recently, I found a site www.stop-smoking-guru.com. It has a lot of useful information regarding quitting smoking. Basically it contains an e-book describing a proper procedure for quitting smoking, and its harmful impacts.
