The study conducted by theInstitut universitaire en sante mentale de Montreal andUniversite de Montreal found that the brains of the smokers were more aroused by images that showed smoking in a positive light than by images that encouraged them to stop.
Williams said that the study found that smokers were also more affected by aversive non-smoking related images than by images of the specific negative consequences of smoking.
