Conclusions: This study provides novel information about the nature of AS, negative affect, and smoking behavior during a quit attempt. Results suggest there is a need for specialized intervention strategies to enhance smoking outcome among this high-risk group that will meet their unique "affective needs." Implications: The current study underscores the importance of developing specialized smoking cessation interventions for smokers with emotional vulnerabilities.
