Interventions
The intervention is based on cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). The intervention, in order to achieve behavioural changes, will include components based in Bandura's social learning theory and social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1986) and the transtheorical model of change (Prochaska, 1992). It has been shown that expectations and self-efficacy are behavioural predictors and that they are an effective framework for the assistance to quit smoking. This theory allows evaluating patient motivation phase and adapting the interventions according to each phase (Fiore, 2011)
