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.
Most effective for people with high craving intensity or emotional smoking patterns. The Mindfulness-Based Addiction Treatment (MBAT) programme has the most evidence.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
