Summary
This study looks at whether cytisinicline, a drug used to help people quit smoking, can change how the brain responds to seeing smoking-related images. 64 daily smokers who are not trying to quit will take either the drug or a placebo and have their brain activity measured with an MRI. The goal is to see if the drug reduces craving and brain reactions to cigarette cues.
