This study is looking for adults who smoke daily and have high anxiety sensitivity (a fear of bodily sensations) to test a new approach to quitting. It combines standard smoking cessation methods like counseling from the Texas Tobacco Quitline and nicotine patches with a 15-week aerobic exercise program at the YMCA. The goal is to see if this personalized approach helps people with high anxiety sensitivity successfully quit smoking. To join, you need to be at least 18, smoke at least 5 cigarettes a day for over a year, be motivated to quit, and have medical clearance for exercise. The study aims to enroll 360 participants, but its current status is unclear.
