Temptations to smoke after quitting: A comparison of lapsers and maintainers
Abstract
This study addresses whether characteristics of temptations to smoke differ for participants who quit smoking and maintain abstinence compared to those who quit and then lapse. Participants used hand-held computers to record temptations and were beeped at random for base-rate assessments. We used generalized estimating equations to compare 1,851 temptation episodes and 5,192 random assessments recorded by 151 participants (116 lapsers, 35 maintainers) over 1-23 days of abstinence. Compared to randomly sampled occasions, temptations were marked by greater negative affect, restlessness, attention disturbance, and exposure to smoking cues; participants were also more likely to be eating or drinking during temptations. Temptations reported by lapsers and maintainers did not differ in any respect, including their reported coping. The results highlight situational variance over individual differences.

“Limited previous research has indicated that happiness, enthusiasm, and relaxation, as well as anger, sadness, restless-ness, and shame are associated with tobacco use outcomes [39, 59, 60, 71].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
