"FACT: 50% of smokers quit smoking 2 years into #TranscendentalMeditation https://twitter.com/hashtag/TranscendentalMeditation?src=hash. That's 3 x higher quit rate than with therapy."
Hmmmm.....from Wikipedia In the U.S., for example, the rate of unassisted quitting fell from 91.8% in 1986 to 52.1% during 2006 to 2009.[16] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_cessation#cite_note-ReferenceA-16 The most frequent unassisted methods were "cold turkey https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_turkey";, a term that has been used to mean either unassisted quitting or abrupt quitting [16] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_cessation#cite_note-ReferenceA-16 and "gradually decreased number" of cigarettes, or "cigarette reduction".[17] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smoking_cessation#cite_note-17 The tweet is meaningless without understanding the details. Fifty percent of all smokers? By age? By gender? How is "quit rate" defined? What kind of therapy are we talking about? Group? Nicotine replacement? Other? I'll stop here and leave you guys to it. For those that do, I have no idea how you swallow this stuff without questioning....I'm guessing it takes a TM Village. :) ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <hepa7@...> wrote : https://twitter.com/TMhome_com/status/918833955750547460 https://twitter.com/TMhome_com/status/918833955750547460
