Brief Summary
A majority of smokers who quit return to smoking within three months of their quit date. This study is a randomized trial to investigate the effectiveness of hypnosis versus behavioural counseling to promote maintenance of abstinence or relapse prevention in quitting smokers. The hypothesis is that hypnosis will be at least as effective as behavioral counseling in preventing relapse to smoking in smokers who are able to quit for at least three days.

Hypnosis for relapse prevention
EXPERIMENTALThe hypnosis intervention was conducted in two face-to-face visits with hypnosis recorded for home practice. Learning, practicing, and employing hypnotic skills in resisting the urge to smoke are core components of this intervention.
Behavioral relapse prevention counseling
ACTIVE COMPARATORIn the behavioral relapse prevention counseling, participants were taught coping strategies for resisting the urge to smoke. This intervention focused on relapse prevention (i.e., maintenance stage of change) and was based on the theoretical concepts and treatment procedures advocated by Marlatt and Gordon and recent smoking relapse data.
