Session 2 increase motivation by offering an option to quit in those who decided to stop. Session 3-4 currently acting to quit smoking and for those who quit smoking. Phase 2 follow up 4 times within 6 months.

Results:
There were 19 people who quit smoking, and the another 26 people who reduced to 5-10 cigarettes/day. Those who didn’t quit we found to be because they were addicted to high levels of nicotine, high craving and withdrawal, and had stimulants such as drinking, having smoking friends, using amphetamines, therefore we increased relapse prevention skills by individual counseling and considering medication to help quit smoking. ACT: Introduced a revised program to continue in the group therapy.

Conclusion(s):
The results of the study were that 42.2% quit smoking, 57.8% reduced smoking. The program was able to help people with mild to moderate nicotine addiction to have motivation to quit. The people who couldn’t quit were addicted to high level of nicotine addiction.
