Most people like attention, and we can be reasonably assured of a positive response to it.
I earlier cited smoking cessation, and I'd square up my take on this a bit by saying if acupuncture is done so as to insure no harm will accrue, and the subject is responding as to a placebo or Hawthorne effect scenario, I'd reserve my ire for stuff done that is actually harmful, like administering bleach to autistics.
I've had a few friends over the years respond positively to acupuncture during smoking cessation efforts. I don't really care if acupuncture is bullshit or not in this usage, smoking is definitely dangerous, and the acupuncture was accomplished with no harm.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
