Brief description of study

The purpose of this study is to evaluate brain responses to food in smokers during a short smoking abstinence period compared to smoking as usual.

Detailed description of study

Smoking participants will be asked to complete an Intake Visit to determine eligibility, a Baseline Visit to collect measures and two 4-day study periods: one while smoking as usual and the other while not smoking (even a single puff) for the entire period. During these periods you will be asked to complete phone calls to discuss your eating and drinking activity with a trained staff member. You would be asked to come to our Center on 4 consecutive days of each period for a monitoring visit; on the 4th visit of each period you would complete an MRI scan session. The MRI scans will last approximately 1 hour and take place in a standard, closed MRI scanner where your brain activity will be measured using a technique called functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The entire study will take approximately 6-8 weeks for you to complete.  Participants will be compensated for their time and for travel.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Smoking,smoke
