Royer, A. The role of the Transcendental Meditation technique in promoting smoking cessation: a longitudinal study. Alcoholism Treatment Quarterly 11: 221–239, 1994.
The author found that those who learned the Transcendental Meditation technique and practiced it regularly showed significantly decreased cigarette consumption, as well as increased smoking quit rate. The proportion of subjects who either quit or decreased smoking was significantly related to regularity of practice of the Transcendental Meditation program. These effects were found to be long-lasting.
