Effects of Smoking Environment on Craving and Smoking

Participants will be presented with an unlit cigarette of their brand and an opportunity to initiate ad lib smoking at any time during the 60-minute task. During this period, participants will be allowed to read books or magazines, but will hear a tone alerting them to view cues (standard smoking environments) for the final minute of each 6-minute period. A monetary reinforcer will be provided for each 6-minute period that a participant resists smoking. Once participants stop the task they can choose to smoke as much or a little as they want for the next 30 minutes. Participants will be provided with a smoking tab. Each cigarette they light will cost them from their tab.
