本研究测试了基于互联网的方法获取客观证据的可行性。戒烟并提供戒烟凭证。四名重度吸烟者参加了这项为期 4 周的研究。参与者每天两次用网络摄像头录制自己提供呼吸一氧化碳 (CO) 样本的视频。该视频以电子方式发送到吸烟诊所。参与者可以通过在初始塑形条件下逐渐减少呼吸二氧化碳，然后实现禁欲（二氧化碳 4 ppm）来获得代金券。优惠券可以在选定的互联网供应商处兑换商品。相对于基线条件，参与者大幅减少了吸烟量，其中 3 人实现了持续戒烟。研究表明，基于互联网的代金券强化计划是促进戒烟的可行方法。
The present study tested the feasibility of an Internet-based method to obtain objective evidence. of smoking abstinence and to deliver vouchers for evidence of abstinence. Four heavy smokers participated in this 4-week study. Twice daily, participants made video recordings of themselves providing a breath carbon monoxide (CO) sample with a Web camera. The video was sent electronically to the smoking clinic. Participants could earn vouchers for gradual reductions in breath CO during an initial shaping condition, and then for achieving abstinence (CO 4 ppm). Vouchers could be exchanged for merchandise at select Internet vendors. Relative to baseline conditions, participants substantially reduced their smoke intake, and 3 achieved sustained periods of abstinence. The study suggests that an Internet-based voucher reinforcement program is a feasible method to promote abstinence from cigarette smoking.
