 About : Tobacco Control
The Centres de LasérothérapiE 3001™
Science at the service of smokers!
A technique exclusive to North America
 Tobacco Control
Tobacco is not a usual subject. This behaviour, which enslaves a large percentage of the population, takes considerable amounts
of money out of the pockets of the poor. Furthermore, because of the enormous amount of tax resources it procures, it makes
governments dependent on it as well. Therefore, since 1975, certain laboratories became interested in the addiction phenomenon
in order to efficiently treat smoking cessation. Thus, it is mandatory to have basic knowledge that is scientifically validated
on tobacco chemistry.
Nicotine is a drug just as cocaine, heroin or amphetamines!
Just as these drugs, tobacco plays on the cerebral reward system (nucleus accumbens, dopaminergic neurons) common to all drugs.
It stimulates most of the cognitive functions such as attention, learning and memory. Its affective and cognitive effects
(positive reinforcement) are the roots of psychological addiction. Tolerance, which goes hand-in-hand with most addictions,
is defined by the need to increase the doses to obtain identical effects (e.g. from one to twenty or thirty cigarettes a day).
Withdrawal symptoms appear when there is an interruption intake and disappear as soon as there is tobacco intake. This negative
reinforcement is the root of physical or pharmacological addiction.

Smoker's Behaviour
The pharmacological, psychological and sociological addiction mechanisms are to analyse the strategies that are presently used with respect
to tobaccoism prevention and the means that are suggested to smokers to try and quit this behaviour.
The Centres de LasérothérapiE 3001™ propose a "Zero Nicotine" approach. To successfully complete a smoking cessation therapy,
the following three steps are necessary:
-
Smoker's evaluation
This evaluation requires accrued knowledge in tobacco control, thus, the necessity to possess a degree in tobacco control. That is the
reason why the institute was founded. It's a first in North America.
Cutting edge technology equipment is used to determine the smoker's CO content. The smoker can view the state of his lungs on screen -
a laser with a microprocessor allows to verify his responsiveness to treatment.
-
The treatment
Provide accurate information on the treatments he will receive. Also, determine what kind of smoker he is.
-
Mandatory follow-up
-
Short sessions to have the state of his lungs verified and ascertain that his health is improving.
-
Have access to phone support as well as support in a clinic, if needed.
Training of our Professionals
To succeed in giving this smoking cessation therapy, a professional training is mandatory. Franchise training of the Centres de Lasérothérapie 3001™
is based on the training given by the Paris University - l'Institut de Tabacologie Inc.
In addition to receiving a laser therapy training, the naturopaths of the Centres de Lasérothérapie 3001™ receive a tobacco control
training. Enclosed you will find the program which contains 51 modules
(french version). Therefore, you can rely on the most competent people in North America in matters of TOBACCO WITHDRAWAL. We suggest that you
avoid amateurs because of the risks to your health.
