In the article, Differential Effects of a Body Image Exposure Session on Smoking Urge Between Physically Active and Sedentary Female Smokers, the goal of the researchers was to assess the correlation of physical activity and smoking urges of women ages 18-24 years old. The researchers were also concerned with the effect of negative body image and weight concerns on the urge to smoke (Nair, Collins, & Napolitano, 2013). The hypothesis being tested was that women would have an increased urge to smoke after being exposed to images of smoking and images of thin models.
