During the first counseling visit, you will set a quit date for stopping smoking about 2 weeks after starting your study medication. You are asked not to quit smoking before the set quit date. After your quit date, you are asked to stay smoke free. You are asked to attend all your sessions whether you are smoking or not. All participants will receive smoking cessation counseling in the form of both in-person and telephone counseling sessions. The purpose of these visits will be to prepare you for quitting and to check the effects of the study medication on your attempt to stop smoking.
