Randomized trial comparing mindfulness training for smokers to a matched control. Mts mindfulness training for smokers 7 weeks. Ffs free from smoking 7 weeks (emphasized relaxation vs. meditation) Good internal validity confidence that both treatments were matched so only difference is mindfulness piece. Almost too closely matched with mindfulness scales being closely scored between both groups. Quit day retreat is 5. 5 where a lot of people didn"t stay (1/3 dropped out) Participants have been smoking 25 + years and the age is 40+ years. At 24 weeks, mts had numerically higher rates but p-value 0. 35. Not significant between the two groups (mts and ffs).
