Summary

This trial will compare the effectiveness of MORE and CBT in reducing smoking behavior.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who speak English, want to quit smoking, and have smoked for at least two years. They must be able to see well enough (with glasses if needed) to do tasks and tests. People can't join if they're pregnant, claustrophobic, use certain drugs or psychotropic meds recently, have major neurological issues or untreated illnesses, or any psychosis.
What is being tested?
The study compares the effectiveness of Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), which combines mindfulness with behavioral therapy to change reward processes in the brain; and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps understand how thoughts affect behavior on quitting smoking.
What are the potential side effects?
Since MORE and CBT are non-medical treatments focusing on behavior modification and thought patterns respectively, they typically don't cause physical side effects but may lead to emotional discomfort as individuals confront their smoking habits.
