Cigarette craving usually occurs with unpleasant feelings, including stress. Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) may reduce level of cigarette craving and/or withdrawal symptoms.
The study reports on a study investigating the acute effects of a one-time application of progressive muscle relaxation on craving for cigarettes in smokers who were instructed to abstain from cigarettes for 3 hours.
