Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Intervention Group	Cognitive behavior therapy	Participants in the intervention group will receive CBT-based digital smoking cessation intervention. The intervention is a set of smoking cessation methods based on the theoretical study of cognitive behavioral therapy for smoking cessation, and its effectiveness has been confirmed through our large sample of randomized controlled studies. This study plans to intervene smokers for 4 weeks after the start of smoking cessation.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Biochemically Validated Continuously Abstinence	4 weeks	Biochemical validation of 4-week continuous smoking abstinence by urine cotinine test.
Brain Structural Characteristics	4 weeks	Differences of brain structure between successful and unsuccessful smokers after intervention, which will be measured by white matter volume, gray matter volume, cortical thickness, and surface area.
Brain Functional activity	4 weeks	Differences of whole brain function activity between successful and unsuccessful smokers after intervention, which will be measured by ReHo, ALFF, fALFF, and functional connectivity (FC)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Self-reported 7-day Point Abstinence	4 weeks	Self-reported 7-day point-prevalence abstinence at week 1, 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 26 after quit date.
Self-reported Continuous Abstinence	4 weeks	Self-reported continuous smoking abstinence rate at weeks 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, and 26 after the quit date.
