Extract

The procedure of cue-exposure response prevention has been successful in reducing subjective urges and overt behaviour associated with a number of compulsive disorders. Despite this it has not been systematically applied to the problem of smoking cessation. An individual case is presented which demonstrates the successful decrement of urges to smoke as a result of cue-exposure response prevention. The relevance of such a procedure to relapse prevention is discussed.
