Canadian researchers unexpectedly found out that people who destroy cigarettes in virtual reality are much better to treat from nicotine dependence than those involved in some neutral matter. After examining a group of 91 people, divided by randomly into two parts, one of which for four weeks of genocidils of cigarettes, and the other – unknown balls, scientists then compared the results. The first group of thrust for cigarettes was significantly lower than that of the second. And even six months after treatment, 39% of the fighters of virtual cigarettes abstained smoking. In another group, this indicator was two times lower.
