Anyway… I still don’t see what else can be worse than the bad consequences that a drug, no matter what it is, has on an addicted person.

If this worked so well, wouldn't we be seeing it "prescribed" (you can buy these devices from many sources without a script) more often. I've been combing the net and have only found spotty anecdotal information. I'm still skeptical.
