Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this research study is to find out more about smokers in recovery from addiction to alcohol/other drugs, and to evaluate a brief computerized smoking behavior feedback session. The hypothesis is that a brief computerized smoking behavior feedback session will motivate more smokers to quit smoking than a control condition.
