Measure
Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Participants may receive 8 group cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) sessions and eight weeks of transdermal nicotine patches (TNP) \[21mg (4 weeks), 14mg (2 weeks), and 7mg (2 weeks)\]. Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: The four-week CBT protocol includes 4 sessions during week 1, 2 sessions during week 2, 1 session during week 3, and 1 session during week 4. Sessions may include a functional analysis of smoking patterns, environmental cues, and motivation for change, and cover nicotine addiction and withdrawal, health consequences, benefits of cessation, stress management, negative affect, alcohol use, triggers, coping responses, cognitive restructuring, social support, decision making, weight control, and physical activity. Transdermal Nicotine Patch: Participants will be prescribed up to 8 weeks of transdermal nicotine patch therapy, including 21 mg for 4 weeks, 14 mg for 2 weeks, and 7 mg for 2 weeks. Dosages will be adjusted per manufacturer recommendations.
General Health Education
Participants may receive group general health education (GHE) sessions and eight weeks of transdermal nicotine patches (TNP) \[21mg (4 weeks), 14mg (2 weeks), and 7mg (2 weeks)\]. General Health Education: The four-week CBT protocol includes 4 sessions during week 1, 2 sessions during week 2, 1 session during week 3, and 1 session during week 4. Sessions may include didactic information on tobacco-associated morbidities, such as heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. Content may include Power Point-delivered lectures on the prevalence, etiology, basic pathology, symptom patterns, and treatment of the conditions, and discussion questions designed to facilitate learning and interest. Smoking cessation specific topics will not be addressed, and coping skills will not be provided. Participants will be allowed to share feelings regarding smoking (if they mention them) and general questions will be answered, although no specific behavioral quitting advice will be provided (i.e., they will be encouraged to adhere to the TNP protocol). Transdermal Nicotine Patch: Participants will be prescribed up to 8 weeks of transdermal nicotine patch therapy, including 21 mg for 4 weeks, 14 mg for 2 weeks, and 7 mg for 2 weeks. Dosages will be adjusted per manufacturer recommendations.
