What the study is about

Smoking remains the single most preventable cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States, accounting for approximately half a million deaths every year. The current study will investigate the efficacy and mechanisms of change of a novel smoking cessation intervention. The current study will thus provide essential information regarding a treatment that has the potential to enhance the efficacy of existing smoking cessation interventions, thereby having a beneficial impact on the public health of the United States.

Being studied: cognitive-behavioral withdrawal regulation strategies; relaxation strategies; early withdrawal exposure

Conditions: Tobacco Dependence
