ONE WAY TO QUIT

Anita Koper, 51, has smoked since she was 15. She went to Dr. Andrew H.B. Kim in Spring Hill to get an acupuncture treatment for back pain, and he suggested that the ancient Chinese therapy might help her quit her nearly three-packs-a-day habit. So far, so good: At Koper’s second session, she said she still had the same pack of cigarettes from her first session a week earlier. “The thought of having one makes me sick,” Koper said.
