The current study will examine both the feasibility and efficacy of a single session, web-based mindfulness-based intervention for smoking cessation. The study will explore (1) participants' subjective experiences of the intervention, (2) cravings and negative affect both before and after the intervention, and (3) changes in tobacco use one week and one month following the initial intervention. Further, the study will examine how often participants utilize the intervention between the initial study and follow-up periods.
