Abstract: Abstract It is well known that when regular smokers quit smoking, their mood and cognitive performance typically deteriorate within a few hours of abstaining1,2. But do these psychological deficits, readily measured in the laboratory, cause major disruption in everyday activities, such as performance at work? Here we use a new method to address this question; our data suggest that the effects of nicotine withdrawal can indeed be detected in daily activities.
