Summary

This study tests whether yoga can lower tobacco cravings in men aged 18-65 who want to quit. 96 participants will either do low-impact yoga or receive standard quitting advice. Researchers will measure cravings and relapse over three months to see if yoga is a helpful addition.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
yoga
What this could lead to
If it works, yoga could become a simple, low-cost tool to help people manage tobacco cravings and support quitting.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early feasibility study with only 96 men in India. Results may not apply to everyone, and yoga may not reduce cravings more than standard advice.
