Smoking is currently one of the biggest problems of public health.
Multicomponent treatments, which incorporate three intervention stages
(preparation, quitting, and maintenance), are considered the treatment
of choice for this problem. However, the high rates of relapse after the
intervention make it necessary to incorporate more effective relapse prevention
strategies within this kind of programs. For many authors, craving
is the cause of most cases of resuming consumption. Cue Exposure
Treatment, CET, consist of controlled and repeated exposure to stimuli
associated with substance use, in order to reduce craving associated
with these situations. On the other hand, recent studies have shown that
exposure through virtual settings seems to be a more efficient strategy
to present cues than exposure using other procedures. In this paper, cue
exposure treatment through virtual reality enviroments are proposed in
order to improve smoking cessation treatments.
