Study Summary
The purpose of this study is to learn more about self-control and adults who smoke cigarettes. It has been suggested that people can improve self-control by practicing tasks that require the use of self-control (such as delaying cigarettes or sitting up as straight as possible). The goal of this study is to learn about whether scores on self-control and other measures will change after one week of practicing self-control tasks at home. We believe that adults who smoke cigarettes will show better self-control after practicing tasks for a week.
Primary Outcome
Participants were instructed to squeeze a hand-grip exerciser as long as possible and research staff used a stopwatch to time the length of time that the hand-grip is squeezed.

The hand-grip was held before and after a thought suppression exercise that was meant to diminish self-control in order to control for indiv
Interventions
