Smoking

67. 
Journal:
Preventive Medicine, 28, 28-32.

Title: Smoking cravings are reduced by self-massage.

Authors: Hernandez-Reif, M., Field, T., & Hart, S. (1999).

Conclusions: In a study of twenty smokers assigned to either a massage therapy group or a control group, those receiving massages were taught to do self massage to their hands or ears three times a day for a month. By the last week of the study, those in the massage group were smoking fewer cigarettes per day than those in the control group. They also reported fewer withdrawal symptoms, less anxiety, and improved mood.
