Want to quit smoking? New study shows brain stimulation and exercise can help

A new study finds that combining transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with aerobic exercise significantly reduces cigarette cravings and smoking-related brain activity in chronic smokers. The combination also boosts motivation to quit, offering a promising path for future smoking cessation therapies.
