Today's side deal safely zaps an unhealthy habit: for $125, you get a smoking-cessation treatment at LaserIntervention & Wellness (a $338 value, including HST).

The highly trained technicians at LaserIntervention & Wellness specialize in ameliorating chronic pain, promoting weight loss, and aiding smoking cessation with low-level laser therapy. During the smoking-cessation treatment, a safe and non-invasive "cold laser" is applied to target points on the face, ears, wrists, and hands, working to stimulate the release of beta-endorphins (basically the body's natural pain killers) and recalibrate the body's natural endorphin-producing cycle back to a normal, non-nicotine-dependent level. In addition to the physical treatment, the expert staff dishes out guidance and behaviour-modification advice, which addresses the psychological cause of the addiction and the challenges of cessation, ensuring a smooth transition into a non-smoking lifestyle to increase the chance of long-term success. Typically only one treatment session is needed to end the addiction entirely, but this deal includes two additional "booster" sessions to be used if necessary for rare and stubborn lingering desires.
