Angelenos are so resilient. We brave Malibu fires, surf polluted waters, and unflinchingly accept the brown layer of smog that coats our wonderful, hazardous city.

But God forbid you light a cigarette.

In this town, tolerance travels only so far. Which means instead of continuing the charade as a “social smoker” (since when is a pack a day “social”?), why not just quit?

The Royal Dongguk University, L.A.’s secret address for effective and cheap Eastern health care, is determined to help you kick the habit naturally. The specialists use acupuncture and a slew of alternative medicines to treat everything from allergies and back aches to depression and migraines. The school believes that everything you need to heal yourself already exists inside you.

Like, whatever. As long as Dongguk helps you stub the bud once and for all. The initial treatment and evaluation costs a mere $30, and each treatment thereafter is only $15. That’s almost cheap enough to make you enjoy needles.

And will surely give you a very L.A. high.
