ABSTRACT: One of the reasons smokers struggle to quit smoking is psychological dependence, which fosters a false belief that cigarettes help alleviate stress and anxiety. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in reducing psychological dependence on cigarettes among university students. The participants consisted of three students who struggled to reduce their smoking dependence, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence (FTND), interviews, and observations. After six CBT sessions, FTND scores decreased from high and moderate levels to low levels among the participants. These changes occurred as participants were able to modify their false beliefs about smoking and adopt healthier and more effective coping strategies to manage stress and anxiety, replacing cigarettes as their primary means of coping.
Key words: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, smoking cessation, psychological dependence
