Contingency Management (CM)
Condition provides contingent monetary reinforcement for smoking reductions (first 5 days) then for smoking abstinence (subsequent 14 days). Expired carbon monoxide (CO) levels will be the basis for determining reductions and abstinence. Nicotine Replacement Treatment (NRT): Nicoderm CQ nicotine skin patch: 21mg patch for 4 weeks, then 14mg patch for 2 weeks and 7mg patch for 2 weeks. This is supplemental intervention provided to all. Brief Advice: Brief Advice (BA): Patients receive four sessions of a manualized brief intervention based on NCI guidelines (Manley et al., 1991; Hollis et al., 1993) as modified for sobriety settings. This simple counseling has five components: (1) Assess smoking and initial interest in cessation; (2) Advise the patient to quit smoking; (3) Assist the patient in quitting; (4) Assess interest in quitting; and (5) Arrange booster sessions. This supplemental information is provided to all.
Noncontingent Reinforcement (NR)
Controls for receiving payments, providing daily breath samples for CO level, and interaction between patient and research staff. NR allows them to earn an amount which is matched in amount to the expected average earned in CM contingent only on providing breath samples independent of the CO level. Nicotine Replacement Treatment (NRT): Nicoderm CQ nicotine skin patch: 21mg patch for 4 weeks, 14mg patch for 2 weeks, 7mg patch for 2 weeks. This is supplemental intervention provided to all. Brief Advice: Brief Advice (BA): Patients receive four sessions of a manualized brief intervention based on NCI guidelines (Manley et al., 1991; Hollis et al., 1993) as modified for sobriety settings.

Condition provides contingent monetary reinforcement for smoking reductions (first 5 days) then for smoking abstinence (subsequent 14 days). Expired carbon monoxide (CO) levels will be the basis for determining reductions and abstinence. Nicotine Replacement Treatment (NRT): Nicoderm CQ nicotine skin patch: 21mg patch for 4 weeks, then 14mg patch for 2 weeks and 7mg patch for 2 weeks. This is supplemental intervention provided to all. Brief Advice: Brief Advice (BA): Patients receive four sessions of a manualized brief intervention based on NCI guidelines (Manley et al., 1991; Hollis et al., 1993) as modified for sobriety settings. This simple counseling has five components: (1) Assess smoking and initial interest in cessation; (2) Advise the patient to quit smoking; (3) Assist the patient in quitting; (4) Assess interest in quitting; and (5) Arrange booster sessions. This supplemental information is provided to all.
Noncontingent Reinforcement (NR)
n=130 Participants
Controls for receiving payments, providing daily breath samples for CO level, and interaction between patient and research staff. NR allows them to earn an amount which is matched in amount to the expected average earned in CM contingent only on providing breath samples independent of the CO level. Nicotine Replacement Treatment (NRT): Nicoderm CQ nicotine skin patch: 21mg patch for 4 weeks, 14mg patch for 2 weeks, 7mg patch for 2 weeks. This is supplemental intervention provided to all.
