Active rTMS Treatment
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Clinical Research System will be used for the active rTMS treatment. Stimulation frequency for all active subjects: 10 Hertz - Pulse train duration (on time) 5 seconds, Inter-train interval (off time) 10 seconds (15 second cycle time), Power (intensity) level 100% resting motor threshold, Total 60 trains, 15 minutes, Total pulses 3000 per day, 3000 x 5 = 15000 pulses for 5 sessions. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Clinical Research System: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Clinical Research System is a US FDA approved treatment system for depression. The treatment research system includes motor threshold TMS coil, active TMS coil and sham TMS coil.
Sham rTMS Treatment
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Clinical Research System -sham TMS will be connected to an electrical generator on a 9 V battery and electrodes will be placed over the prefrontal cortex. The regulator is triggered by the TMS machine to allow brief, microsecond, pulses of the electrical current through to the skin on the subjects' forehead. Electrical stimulation will be triggered by the TMS machine to correspond to the sham TMS pulses. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Clinical Research System: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Clinical Research System is a US FDA approved treatment system for depression. The treatment research system includes motor threshold TMS coil, active TMS coil and sham TMS coil.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 5 days

Total number of smoke-free days during a day quit attempt. Self-reported abstinence during the day quit attempt will be assessed via timeline. The maximum number of consecutive days of abstinence will be recorded. Participants who does not report at least one 24-hour period of abstinence will be recorded as "0" days abstinent.

OTHER_PRE_SPECIFIED outcome

Timeframe: 5 days

Brief questionnaire of smoking urges - brief (QSU - Brief) is used to assess smoking urges. Ten questions are included in the test. Range of scales is 1-7 score for each item. The cue craving scales include 10 items. The range of the total score is 10- 70 score. The maximum number means the highest craving that is the worst outcome. The minimum number is the least craving for cigarettes that is the best outcome.
