Give three examples of how a cognitive-behaviorist would help an addicted smoker who claims that "One more cigarette won't hurt me." How might this same problem be approached using aversion therapy?

A cognitive-behaviorist would say that this type of thinking is irrational. The therapist would try to change these beliefs, as well as the unhealthy behavior (smoking) that accompanies it by rewarding desired behavior (not smoking) and punishing the smoking; this is contingency management. Aversion therapy would try to make smoking unappealing, perhaps by having the person chain smoke until they get sick.
