Abstract in brief

  • The study tested mindfulness training (MT) against a standard program (Frees from Smoking, FFS) to help people quit smoking, finding that MT led to greater reductions in cigarette use and higher abstinence rates.
  • Both groups attended eight group sessions over four weeks, and most participants completed the treatment, with MT participants showing sustained benefits at 17 weeks.
  • The results suggest that mindfulness training could potentially be more effective than current standard treatments for smoking cessation.]
