Quit smoking: Transcendental Meditation compared to other methods

A meta-analysis of all research studies on the Transcendental Meditation Programme related to cigarette smoking, in comparison to meta-analyses of standard treatment and prevention programmes for smoking, found a significantly greater reduction of cigarette use among those who practice the Transcendental Meditation Programme, even though this programme does not involve any guidance about change in lifestyle or habits.Ref.Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly 11: 13–87, 1994
