The purpose of this study is to explore how the brain responds to pictures of places where smokers smoke, as compared to places where they do not smoke. In addition, the study will examine how smoking and non-smoking places affect smoker’s craving for cigarettes and smoking behavior. Knowing this information will help us learn about addiction to cigarettes and also develop better treatments to help smokers quit smoking.
