I gotta know...any one think (or know) if this could possibly work?

I think it's bogus, pretty much like all those gimmicks to lose weight, but hey, I'm not a smoker and have never had to try quitting smoking. What the fuck do I know? Maybe a pair of gold magnets on your ear can stop you smoking :confused:

I think it's crap.
The wife and I quit 28 days ago, no patches, no gum, cold turkey :eek:
I had 36 years of it with most of that non-filters
Everyday is easier.
Turns out smoking releases sugar, drink juice!
 
I have my ear pierced in the same place they show that little magnet. It never made me quit.
 
Certainly not Harry Potter type magic or anything physical, but surely a little shamanistic psycho-suggestion type assistance might be helpful in getting some people over the hump.
 
Quitting the smoke can be tough. And people can get stressed out about their need to quit. And anywhere where there's a need, there's a bullshitter with a quick and ugly buck in sight, who'll try and fill it.

It never cease to amaze me, the so very obviously made-up junk science that people swallow whole.
 
I'd lay odds it's crap.
What make people quit is the ability to stop lighting the damn things.

Ah, but there's no magic magnetism in the studs you're wearing on your ear, is there? :p Ha!
 
There might be something to it. I know that whenever I light up a cigarette, magnets fall out of my ears.
 
I think it's mostly a scam. At the same time, if somebody does believe it, there might be some kind of psycological self-fulfilling prophecy. Personally, I think cold turkey is the only way that works.
 
This is pure, unadulterated bunk.

Think Dumbo the Elephants 'magic feather'.

I stopped cold turkey in 1992--so did my wife.

It was rough at first--but we did it. :)

And no weird earrings either.

Yeah, but think how much easier it would have been with the magic feather...er...ear magnets....

Nah--they would have pulled the iron filings in my brain in two directions.

Then I would have spent the day singing the score from 'Oklahoma'.

I rather chew 10 sticks of gum and bite my pencils in half. :)
 
Its total bunk, but you can't blame the manufacturers, thousands of idiots will buy this shit just to say "I tried everything, even acupuncture in my ears and nothing worked" and thousands more idiots will buy it for someone they love. Three or four people will actually stop smoking with this, but they stop smoking everytime they buy some new scam. There will prolly be some people who quit smoking and become addicted to needles in thier ears. So money will be made, and thats the bottom line.

People are still shooting guns in the air here in texas, almost an hour past midnight on new years eve, idiots don't believe that bullets fired in the air can kill when they come down. People that stupid should be shot, have needles rammed in thier ears and a lit cigarette shoved up thier arse.

I can certainly blame the manufacturer. Just because some people are suckers doesn't mean it's okay to rip them off. :mad:
 
I like my pipes and have no intentions of quitting.

So I don't care if someone offers me an 'easy' way to quit.
 
See, cigarettes have their rightful place in the world.


I think I just got a brainstormin idea how to make a couple gigabizzilion dollars with the "Lisa's Burning Assapuncture Stop Smokin Method" all I need is some needles and cigarettes in butt plugs, and maybe some serious insurance protection against fraudalent, and flatulant, injury lawsuits.
