The current report presents the underlying rationale and components of an interoceptive exposure-based smoking cessation treatment for anxiety-sensitive smokers. The intervention was pilot-tested on three (female) daily smokers with moderate to high levels of nicotine dependence and high levels of anxiety sensitivity. Results indicated meaningful therapeutic gains in smoking outcome and theoretically expected changes in anxiety sensitivity, distress tolerance, and negative as well as positive affective states. Overall, the present case series highlights a potentially promising way to integrate interoceptive exposure-based treatment with standard smoking cessation treatment for smokers high in anxiety sensitivity. From a treatment development perspective, these case-series data suggest that future study of this intervention in a large-scale (controlled) clinical trial is indicated.
