Behavioral self-management techniques focus on identifying and changing the specific behaviors that contribute to smoking, including the ritual aspects of smoking. These techniques can help disrupt the pleasurable aspects of the smoking ritual and assist in breaking the habit. EMDR, client-centered therapy, and "cold turkey" approaches do not specifically address the behavioral aspect of smoking.
