Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Smoking Cessation
for Nicotine Withdrawal
Mindfulness-based approaches to quitting teach smokers to observe cravings without automatically responding to them — 'urge surfing' — rather than suppressing or acting on them.
How it works
Builds metacognitive awareness of craving as a transient mental event that passes without requiring action. Reduces automatic habitual smoking responses through non-reactive observation.
What to watch for
Most effective for people with high craving intensity or emotional smoking patterns. The Mindfulness-Based Addiction Treatment (MBAT) programme has the most evidence.
