• The advantages—and disadvantages—of the nicotine patch, nicotine gum and electronic cigarettes for quitting smoking.
• How meditation practice and mindfulness help smokers cope with craving, emotional distress and challenging situations.
• Opportunities for coaches to participate in research and development of smoking cessation interventions delivered in person and via smart phones.
