“…Unfortunately, almost all unaided quitters (95%) resume regular smoking (Hughes, Keely, & Naud, 2006), and relapse is frequently preceded by isolated incidents of cigarette smoking known as lapses (Kenford et al, 1994). Three specific high-risk triggers-alcohol consumption (Brandon, Tiffany, Obremski, & Baker, 1990;Kahler, Spillane, & Metrik, 2010;Leeman et al, 2008;Shiffman, Paty, Gnys, Kassel, & Hickcox, 1996b;van Zundert, Kuntsche, & Engels, 2012), presence of others smoking (Shiffman, 1982;Shiffman et al, 1996b;Solomon et al, 2007), and negative affect (Kenford et al, 2002;Niaura et al, 2001;Shiffman et al, 1996b)-have consistently been identified as critical postcessation precipitants of lapse/relapse. However, exceedingly few data have addressed how these triggers combine to impact cessation outcomes.…”
