Anyone who has struggled to stop smoking is an appropriate candidate for deep TMS. Most typically, individuals will progressively escalate the interventions needed to stop. So perhaps starting with a simple statement to oneself, “today I am going to stop” will be sufficient. For others, a more extensive understanding of their triggers and learning tools for managing stress and anxiety might be sufficient additions to quit. Others might do well with nicotine replacement such as gums or patches. For many though, none of those interventions work. That is typically where one would start to consider interventions such as deep TMS. However, there no specific guideline and TMS can be tried at any point along the journey to a nicotine-free life.
