Study Summary

Adult daily smokers motivated to quit smoking will be randomized to extended-release guanfacine (6mg/day) or placebo and will enroll in an 8-week treatment period combining medication with brief behavioral support. The investigators hypothesize that the active dose of guanfacine compared to placebo will increase rates of prolonged smoking abstinence at the end of the 8-week treatment phase.

Primary Outcome

Prolonged smoking abstinence defined as no relapse in week 3 to week 8, in participants with available outcome data during weeks 3 to 8.
