The research is based on a chronic disorder model of cigarette smoking which suggests that
long-term treatment targeted to prevent relapse may be useful. Based on this model, the
investigators have developed a relapse prevention treatment to intervene on five areas
important in relapse prevention, including fluctuating motivation, depression, withdrawal,
weight gain, and social support. This treatment protocol has produced high long-term
abstinence rates when implemented in a clinical research setting. The current study will
evaluate the treatment model when implemented in a medical outpatient setting.
