Brief Summary: The purpose of the study is to conduct an open trial examining the feasibility and acceptability of an adapted heart rate variability biofeedback and smoking cessation treatment that was using a primarily virtual remote intervention.
Detailed Description: The present investigation is an open trial investigating the feasibility and acceptability of heart rate variability biofeedback smoking cessation treatment (HRVB-SCT) for individuals who smoke cigarettes. Significant findings will also support the expansion of HRVB as a transdiagnostic treatment adjunct that alters cardiac vagal functioning to promote emotional and behavioral regulation, changing the status quo of cognitive-behavioral intervention approaches and decreasing the health and economic burden of smokers who suffer from emotional distress. The goals are to: (a) assess the feasibility and acceptability of the HRVB-SCT intervention (b) assess the efficacy of the intervention in modifying smoking behavior and emotional distress; and (c) collect additional information to inform a subsequent randomized clinical trial.
