The 3-day 3MDR-SC intervention resulted in a reduction in cue-induced craving and smoking behavior and showed very good treatment adherence. There was no added effect of the distractor task on 3MDR-SC efficacy. Further studies, including a treatment as usual control, are needed to confirm 3MDR-SC as an effective SC therapy
