Study Summary

This trial evaluates how exposing smokers to positive future events can help reduce cigarette consumption. It uses stimuli to activate brain regions involved in planning and future thinking.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for cigarette smokers who smoke at least 10 cigarettes daily, do not use other tobacco products regularly, have a smartphone with texting ability, and can vividly imagine visual images. People using nicotine replacements or certain medications, those who've used drugs of abuse recently, or live with someone in the study cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The trial tests if active episodic future thinking (EFT)—imagining positive future events—can help smokers cut down on smoking compared to recalling past positive events. It also assesses how well participants engage with this method through their smartphones.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since the interventions involve behavioral techniques and smartphone usage rather than medication, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience frustration or lack of motivation if they struggle with reducing cigarette consumption.
