Abstract
This study examined the application of the incentive-sensitization theory (IST) in a sample of adolescent smokers utilizing ecological momentary assessments of affect, stress, smoking status, and implicit smoking attitudes. Findings support IST as an approach to understanding nicotine addiction and highlight the importance of implicit attitudes in smoking cessation interventions.
