NCT00349687

Brief Summary

The proposed study will investigate the role of self-control in smoking cessation and whether interventions that improve self-control can help reduce the risk of lapsing among smokers who wish to quit. Our model predicts that the regular practice of self-control should lead to a building of strength and a general improvement in self-control performance. Hence, smokers who practice self-control prior to quitting should be more likely to succeed in their cessation attempt than smokers who do not practice self-control
