FAQS 2

So is it 100% effective?

Not totally but no system is! It is true that the treatment delivers the physical relief which is very important but you will have a small amount of work to do to control your old habits. So you have to really want to quit smoking. However, the results are far superior to currently existing methods.

So the treatment method is incomplete?

The method will always be incomplete if the smoker has not really decided to quit. After the treatment, the IQS Centres offer a follow-up support service 6 days a week and also some support products. Further, support treatments are available at no cost if required under some conditions which are indicated in the written guarantee given at the end of the treatment session. Less than 10% of the patients will require the support treatment.

How do I know that it works?

The treatment protocol of the IQS Centres has been developed and improved over a 6 year period and the statistics show that 90% of smokers quit permanently and never light up again. The urge and desire to smoke ceases which is what all smokers and their families want.

And what about those who start smoking again?

There are some and they are divided into three categories :

A) Employees forced by their employer to be treated to quit ( 60% remain non-smokers with the first treatment ).
B) Patients who live through situations of great stress in the first year following their treatment (death of a spouse, bankruptcy, loss of employment, painful separations, etc.) and who do not phone to get a support treatment.
C) Those using medicine that reduces or controls hormone production or endorphine specifically.

- 70% of the patients get an immediate result.
- 20% of the patients must have a good night's sleep to get the results.
- The less fortunate 10% (because of slower glands, medication delaying the full effect of the treatment, menstrual cycle) will obtain the maximum results in 3 to 5 days.

What about the other kinds of treatment available?
Rate of success after one year
- Acupuncture (laser or needles) 25%
- Zyban ™, with medical follow-up 30.3%
- Patches with medical follow-up 16,4%(2)
- Medical follow-up without any medication (cold turkey) 15.6%

What is the cost and what does include?
