Researchers with new method to quit smoking, relief to 26 crore Indians if study is successful

Smoking is the biggest public health threat that takes the lives of millions of people around the world. According to the World Health Organisation, about 8 million people die every year due to smoking-related diseases. More than 260 million people are addicted to tobacco in India alone. Now, researchers have started a new study to investigate the potential of yoga and meditation in helping people quit smoking.

Researchers say that although many effective drugs have been found to stop regular smoking, there is a possibility of relapse. Yoga and meditation have been suggested as a solution to this.

The study includes two groups. One group will be given medication alone. The other group will be given medication along with yoga and meditation. This approach aims to assess the role that yoga and meditation can play in quitting smoking. The researchers say that if the study is successful, it will attract international attention.

Despite trying to quit smoking, many people quickly return to the habit. Researchers are hoping that yoga and meditation can help control the urge to smoke. Experts say that yoga and meditation can help improve oxygen levels in the body, reduce stress, and increase self-control. This can gradually reduce the urge to smoke. Researchers say that if the study is successful, a new, scientifically based, natural treatment method for quitting smoking may be available in the future.
