More than 5 million deaths a year are attributable to tobacco smoking, but attempts to help people either quit or reduce their smoking often fail. in comparison with Relaxation Training, 5 h of IBMT produces a 60% smoking reduction, 30% quitting and a decrease in craving even in those smokers without intention to quit. This behavior change is accompanied by greater ACC/medial PFC activity associated with self-control network.
