چکیده
Currently, we have several effective treatments for smoking cessation including pharmacotherapy, self-help materials, counseling and psychological treatments, which are the first choice in the therapeutic approach of nicotine dependence (Becoña, Miguez, López, & Fernández del Río 2010; Fiore et al, 2008; HartmannBoyce, Stead, Lancaster and Cahill, 2013; Patnode et al, 2015; Schlam and Baker, 2013; Siu, 2015). Although several studies support the efficacy, effectiveness and efficiency of smoking cessation treatments, relapse still is a common phenomenon among those who achieved abstinence (Becoña et al, 2010; Piasecki, 2006).
