Brain training boosts Quit-Smoking success in new study

This study tests a new way to help people stop smoking by combining standard quit-smoking programs with a computer task that retrains unconscious urges to approach cigarettes. About 300 adults who want to quit will be randomly assigned to one of three groups: standard treatment plus the brain training, standard treatment plus a sham version, or standard treatment alone. The goal is to see if the brain training helps more people stay smoke-free long-term.
