Counseling
Participants engage in psychosocial counseling at Day 0 in preparation for the quit attempt and throughout treatment at weekly study visits. Counseling is brief (~ 5 to 10 min per session) and consists of understanding triggers, dealing with cravings, adjusting to a smoke-free lifestyle, cognitive restructuring, changing routines, and how to manage lapses. Trained research staff deliver counseling using a guide developed for topics to cover each week.
