Summary
This study tests whether adding music therapy to nicotine patches and gum can reduce tobacco cravings in student smokers aged 18-25. 120 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either nicotine replacement alone or nicotine replacement plus a digital music therapy tool.

Music therapy (digital tool) plus nicotine patch and gum
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, low-cost way to help young smokers manage cravings and quit more successfully.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study, so results may not be conclusive. The music therapy tool is digital and untested in this context, and the study only includes students, so findings may not apply to other groups.
