The patient felt, that smoking sharply negatively, he was reflected in his health, but he could not throw to smoke, since with the failure of cigarette began strong tachycardia, arrhythmia, vertigo, sharp increase in the arterial pressure. The patient was conducted acupuncture in the course of 2,5 months (5 courses). However, from the first session of acupuncture gradually decreased a daily quantity of those smoked cigarette, and from the second course treatment he was passed without the smoking. In the time of entire treatment, in spite of the decrease, and then, and the total exclusion of nicotine, complaints from the side of cardiovascular system was not noted. Thus, in patient was taken dependence to the nicotine, but habit remained (earlier patient bundle cigarette he held in the pocket of trousers and after treatment he periodically subconsiously searched for in the pockets bundle).
