Summary
This study looks at how a beta-blocker (propranolol) and nicotine patches, alone or together, change brain reactions to smoking cues in daily smokers. About 80 healthy adults who smoke regularly will have MRI scans and report cravings. The goal is to understand the brain mechanisms behind smoking urges, not to help people quit.
