Abstract
Financial incentive-based smoking cessation trials increased cessation rates from 6% to 16.3%. We adjusted our trial to address two major concerns regarding nicotine addiction. First, the constancy of nicotine withdrawal needs to be counteracted by a frequently given financial reward to offset cravings. Therefore, we increased the reward interval to weekly/biweekly. Second, commitment contracts produced favorable quitting rates but were not widely accepted. We created an experimental group that employs delayed rewards to mimic commitment contracts without their objectionable aspects.
