Summary

This study tested whether a mindfulness-based text messaging program, called iQuit Mindfully, helps people stop smoking. Over 500 adults who smoked regularly took part. Some received the text program alone, others also got online mindfulness counseling, and all had access to nicotine patches or lozenges. The goal was to see if these tools boost quit rates and understand how mindfulness helps.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mindfulness-Based Addiction Treatment (behavioral) and Nicotine Replacement Therapy (patch/lozenge)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer an effective, scalable way to help people quit smoking using mindfulness and text messaging.
What could go wrong
This is a completed study, but results may not apply to all smokers. Quit rates can be modest, and long-term success is uncertain.
