TMS for Smoking Cessation

If you’ve tried to quit smoking but keep falling back into old habits, you’re not alone. Nicotine addiction is powerful—not just because of cravings, but because it rewires your brain’s reward system. That’s where Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can make a difference. At our clinic, we offer non-invasive, medication-free TMS therapy to help you finally quit smoking for good by targeting the source of the addiction—your brain.

How TMS Helps You Stop Smoking

TMS therapy is FDA-cleared for smoking cessation and works by stimulating specific areas of the brain responsible for habit formation, cravings, and reward processing. Repeated magnetic pulses are delivered to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)—a region shown to be underactive in individuals who struggle with addiction. Over time, these pulses help rewire your brain’s circuitry to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

Unlike nicotine replacement products or prescription medications, TMS does not involve chemicals, patches, or pills. It works on the neurological level, making it ideal for people who haven’t had success with traditional methods.

What to Expect During TMS Treatment

TMS treatment for smoking cessation typically involves daily sessions, 5 days per week, over a 4 to 6 week period. Each session lasts about 20–30 minutes. During the treatment:

  • You’ll be seated comfortably in a treatment chair
  • A magnetic coil is positioned gently against your scalp
  • Magnetic pulses are delivered to targeted areas of your brain
  • You’ll remain fully awake and alert with no recovery time needed


Throughout your course of treatment, we’ll monitor your progress, track your smoking habits, and provide ongoing support to help you stay smoke-free.

TMS therapy is ideal for adults who:

  • Have tried to quit smoking without long-term success
  • Are looking for an alternative to medications, nicotine patches, or e-cigarettes
  • Want to avoid the side effects of drugs like varenicline or bupropion
  • Are motivated to quit but struggle with cravings and habit loops


If you’re ready to take control of your health and quit smoking once and for all, TMS therapy offers a powerful, science-backed solution.

While TMS is FDA-cleared for smoking cessation, insurance coverage for this indication varies. Many insurance providers currently cover TMS for depression and OCD, while smoking cessation treatments are considered cash-pay at most clinics. We’ll walk you through all payment options, offer flexible financing, and ensure there are no surprises.
