In the current study, 34 smokers were treated in a smoking cessation program that involved either a scheduled smoking procedure, or a minimal contact self-help treatment control. The interval smoking program consisted of baseline, cessation, and relapse prevention phases. During baseline, subjects self-monitored smoking and the total hours spent awake. During a 3-week cessation period, the scheduled smoking group progressively increased their intercigarette interval, thereby gradually reducing their total daily intake of nicotine. Smokers were expected to quit on a target date set at the end of this period. Cognitive behavioral interventions and relapse prevention training consisted of behavioral rehearsal of nonsmoking skills in a relapse prone environment. Control subjects were given the American Cancer Society "I Quit Kit", and provided subsequent discussion of its use. The results showed that 53% and 41% of the scheduled smoking group was abstinent at the 6- and 12-month follow-up points, respectively. Controls averaged only 6% for the same periods. Scheduled smoking may be a useful addition to a multicomponent treatment program and further study appears warranted to determine the saliency of the treatment features.
