Brief Summary

The innovative nature of this project lies in the combination of three types of intervention: tobacco addiction treatment, music therapy and therapeutic education. Three disciplines that work together.

• working with the music therapist to create a personalised 'soundtrack';
• identifying situations in which music can help them manage withdrawal symptoms;
• using music independently in their everyday lives. The music therapy protocol will be proposed in this study, the soundtrack is co-created by the music therapist and the patient based on the patient's musical tastes and needs. The fact that the patient can use the musical tool independently also gives them significant leverage in their withdrawal process, allowing them to act on withdrawal symptoms and the main factors contributing to relapse.
