Summary
This clinical trials tests whether a new treatment designed to help smokers prepare to quit
smoking by practicing quitting several times helps more smokers quit and stay quit than
standard treatment with nicotine patch and smoking cessation counseling. The practice
quitting treatment being tested involves quitting for progressively longer periods of time
tailored to individual patterns of smoking. This clinical trial will also test whether
non-nicotine cigarettes can help smokers become smoke free after slipping during a stop
smoking attempt.
