Summary
Attempts to quit cigarette smoking are often accompanied by negative mood and problems in attention and memory. These effects, in turn, may contribute to smoking relapse. This exploratory/developmental project examines the effects of a novel medication, GTS-21, on individuals interested in smoking cessation. It is hypothesized that GTS-21 will reduce negative affect, improve cognition and/or reduce smoking relapse in healthy adult men and women who are chronic cigarette smokers.
