Behavioral Interventions to Target Self-Control in Abstinent Nicotine Dependent Smokers
Low self-control has been associated with a number of unhealthy behaviors with low treatment
success. Alternative non-pharmacological approaches have the potential for enhancing
self-control. This pilot study will investigate if the practice of yoga and/or health and
wellness education improve self-control in the context of nicotine addiction, and will set
the stage for larger clinical trials using behavioral interventions to supplement or replace
existing treatments and increase the rates of recovery from disorders in which low
self-control is a susceptibility factor.
