Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

active comparator: Active noninvasive brain stimulation and cognitive training

In active condition, subject will receive stimulation during all the 30-minute stimulation period combined with cognitive training.

sham comparator: Sham noninvasive brain stimulation

In sham condition, subject will receive stimulation only during the first 30 seconds of the 30-minute stimulation period combined with cognitive training.

Interventions

Cognitive training

Noninvasive brain stimulation (active)

Neuroconn DC-STIMULATOR PLUS

Noninvasive brain stimulation (sham)

Neuroconn DC-STIMULATOR PLUS

Primary outcome measure

Changes in tobacco craving assessed by the Questionnaire of Smoking Urge [ Time Frame: immediately before and immediately after the end of the noninvasive brain stimulation ]
