My auntie came to realise that she couldn't afford to both smoke and gamble so one of them had to go. She decided gambling was the lesser of two evils so took a course of acupuncture to rid herself of the dreaded ciggies.

She was smoking like a chimbley again not a week later but it was months before we realised she hadn't had another bet. Not even bingo.

If it works for a CHead I say go for it!
