Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)


Effectiveness: up to 55% (1 in 2 people quit for 12 months or more)

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is an psychological approach to dealing with smoking. Smokers continue to smoke throughout the treatment which consists of rational logic and evaluation of smoking.


The process does not dwell on the ill effects of smoking but on the actual behavioural aspects of smoking including the triggers that make people smoke. CBT effectively changes the way smokers think about smoking and often leads to a complete change in attitude towards smoking.

CBT can be obtained from specialist quit smoking centres which will be available in your area or smokers can simply read about this method for quitting smoking.

There is one downloadable resource on the internet for cognitive behavioural therapy to quit smoking, found on the EasyQuit System website. Click this link:
