TMS for Smoking: evidence & results

Nicotine addiction is the main reason millions struggle to quit smoking. If you've tried to quit, you know how tough it is to fight those cravings. You're not alone—75% of smokers relapse because of these cravings.

Smoking is undeniably harmful, but breaking the habit is challenging once it's established.

Smart TMS is an effective treatment for quitting smoking. For more details, please see the results below.

According to a 2000 report by the Royal College of Physicians on nicotine addiction:

"It is reasonable to conclude that nicotine delivered through tobacco smoke should be regarded as an addictive drug, and tobacco use as the means of self-administration...
Cigarettes are highly efficient nicotine delivery devices and are as addictive as drugs such as heroin or cocaine.”

Smoking tobacco, whether through cigarettes, cigars, or pipes, quickly delivers nicotine to the bloodstream, making it highly addictive. Additionally, tobacco smoke contains various chemicals that increase nicotine's addictive effects.

Quitting smoking offers significant health benefits.

At Smart TMS, many of our patients experience a significant reduction in smoking cravings after TMS treatment, helping them quit smoking entirely.

If you're committed to quitting smoking, your clinician can discuss additional therapies that may enhance the effectiveness of TMS treatment.
