This study is looking at how a brain stimulation technique called repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS), specifically continuous theta burst rTMS, affects thinking skills in adults who smoke cigarettes. Researchers want to see if applying this stimulation to different parts of the brain might help people reduce or quit smoking. To join, you should be between 18 and 60 years old, speak English, and have nicotine dependence, meaning you smoke at least 8 cigarettes a day for 2 years or use e-cigarettes at least 15 times a day for 1 year, among other criteria. The main goal is to measure the immediate effects of cTBS on cognitive control (how your brain manages thoughts and actions) one hour after treatment. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and plans to enroll 30 participants.
