Summary

This study tests a technique called episodic future thinking (EFT) to help smokers reduce cigarette use. Participants imagine positive events they look forward to in the next year, like a vacation or family gathering, and receive smartphone prompts. The goal is to see if focusing on the future lowers cravings and carbon monoxide levels. The trial involves 104 adult smokers who want to quit within 30 days.
