Study Summary
The purpose of the study is to see if a behavioral intervention known as retrieval-extinction training (RET) might affect craving in response to nicotine cues (e.g., pictures, videos and objects) and smoking behavior in men and women who smoke cigarettes.
Primary Outcome
At each visit (baseline, intervention sessions, and follow-up test sessions), participants will complete a Craving Questionnaire survey at multiple timepoints during each visit (baseline, and after each cue exposure). The craving questionnaire is the average of four statements about craving for cigarettes (e.g., "I have an urge for a cigarette"), and the participants rate how they agree with the statements at that moment on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 = strongly disagree and 5 = strongly agree).
