Do you have a loved one addicted to smoking cigarettes? Have you heard of people trying several different techniques to quit this nasty habit? Well, researchers have found an easy way to kick this loathsome trait! Basically text messaging distracts your brain from having the urge to smoke a cigarette.
Research groups from University of Oregon, University of Michigan, and UCLA got together a study and performed it on 27 heavy smokers in Las Angeles. The participants were in a three-week smoking program and all received eight texts a day to monitor their moods, cravings, and cigarette use. The study showed that texting or other hand held devices help the human brain forget about their craving sensation. If you want a friend, family member, or even yourself to stop cigarette smoking try sending a text!
