Summary
This trial is testing whether two methods - behavioral activation therapy and nicotine replacement therapy - can help people quit smoking.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adult cigarette smokers who smoke at least 5 cigarettes a day, want to quit or change their smoking habits, and can follow instructions in English. They must be the only participant from their household and have contact details. People with uncontrolled high blood pressure, certain neurological conditions, or using specific medications cannot join. Pregnant women or those not using effective birth control are also excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether combining behavioral activation therapy (a method that helps people react differently to triggers) with nicotine patches helps smokers quit or modify their behavior more effectively than other methods.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects may include skin irritation from the nicotine patch and typical withdrawal symptoms from quitting smoking such as increased appetite, mood swings, frustration, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, restlessness and cravings.
