Quit Smoking Program in Jacksonville, FL
When you're ready to quit, we're here to help. If you have decided to quit smoking (or vaping) recently, but are unsure of exactly how to quit, we can help with our Smoking Cessation Program!
What's the Program?
Our program is uniquely powerful in that it consists of several proven interventions which includes acupuncture, custom herbal formulas, relaxation technique instruction, and ear seed placement. This program will help you quit smoking and get you through the initial nicotine detoxification phase, plus arms you with techniques to avoid returning to it. For most people 10-15 treatments are all that is needed to completely quit and recover from the detoxification process of quitting. If you feel you could use a couple more sessions beyond this program, we can continue the treatments at an a la carte rate as needed.

We have found this combination of treatments works best when combined with the actual desire to quit from the patient. You have to want to quit 100% for yourself for this to be quick and permanent. If you are on the fence to quitting, still actually LIKE smoking, or are trying to quit for someone else (family member, loved one's guilt) your success to quitting may be more temporary than permanent. Once you have firmly made up your mind that this is it, we can help you kick the habit for good.
Quit cold turkey
Set a quit date and commit to it fully. Cold turkey combined with acupuncture treatment gives you the best chance of success.
Remove cigarettes and ashtrays
Clear your home, car, and workspace of all cigarettes, lighters, and ashtrays before your first treatment.
Tell others about your goal
Let your friends, family, and colleagues know you are quitting. Social accountability significantly improves outcomes.
Visualize yourself as a non-smoker
Before your first appointment, spend time each day imagining your life as a non-smoker — healthier, freer, and in control.
How Does It Work?
Most people dread quitting smoking due to the intense detox process. Our treatments will significantly reduce cravings and physical withdrawal symptoms immediately. On a chemical level, acupuncture releases endorphins, and dopamine which are the body's natural pain killers and “feel good” hormones to keep you calm, improve sleep and reduce irritability.
We recommend having 2-3 treatments per week for 2-4 weeks. The first treatment benefit generally wears off in the first 12-24 hours. Therefore having treatments in back-to-back succession is paramount to building a strong foundation where the benefits last longer, with permanent results.
Is There a Guarantee or Refund?
In a word: no. This should also give extra incentive to give your complete participation and effort here. We have never had one person who was 100% committed to quit smoking not be successful even if short term. It may be necessary to “recommit” yourself to your decision to quit at some point.
Avoiding relapse requires two things: overcoming the habit of smoking, and implementing stress relief mechanisms that help you to deal with stress so you don't turn to cigarettes as a “stress reliever”.
Reminding yourself of the value your health being paramount. Remember what it feels like to be smoke-free. Improved oxygen intake, improved sleep, improved smell, improved taste, improved relationships. All of it. Also know that your investment will pay for itself in just 90 days of being smoke free. You can do it!

Treatment, and What to Expect.
- Treatment Side Effects
- While acupuncture treatments are painless, you may experience mild discomfort from the detoxification process. Common symptoms include body aches, low-grade fever, headaches, insomnia, congestion, coughing, and mood fluctuations. Acupuncture helps alleviate these short-term discomforts, while herbal formulas support long-term balance during the quitting process.
- When Should I Take My Last Cigarette Before Treatment?
- Acupuncture can help at any stage, whether it has been six hours or six minutes since your last cigarette. However, the best results come when you are fully committed to quitting before your first treatment.
- Supporting the Detox Process
To help your body detox and adjust, we provide a custom month-long herbal formula tailored to your needs. Additional recommendations include:
- Increase water intake to flush toxins and boost energy.
- Eat regular, nutrient-rich meals to stabilize blood sugar and mood.
- Expect cravings to peak in the first week — stay focused on the long-term goal.
- Avoid sugary foods and prepare healthy snacks like carrots, celery, and apples.
- If you slip up, don't be discouraged — simply restart and stay committed. Many patients experience setbacks before quitting for good.
Aftercare and Follow-Up
To get the most out of your acupuncture treatments, proper aftercare is essential. While some patients experience immediate relief and relaxation, others may feel mild fatigue as their body adjusts and begins to heal. Staying hydrated, resting, and avoiding strenuous activities for the remainder of the day will support the body's natural healing process and enhance the long-term benefits of your treatment.

I went to Julee for one thing and she is treating me for several things. She helped my positional vertigo go away. I haven't taken my allergy medicine in 2 months. I used to take it every day for over 30 years. Wow! the list just goes on... my neck & shoulder were killing me all the time. Now I can't even remember when it hurt last. And, I have started losing weight again. I had been stuck for what seemed like forever. I would highly recommend Health Pointe. They are very professional and make you feel comfortable right from the beginning.
