The goal of this clinical trial is to reveal the role and mechanism of orexin in nicotine addicts, compared to healthy control. The main questions it aims to answer are:
Participants will be asked to do as followed:
Background: Smoking has always been a serious public health problem in my country. Nicotine is the main addictive ingredient in tobacco, the mechanism of nicotine addiction is not yet clear, and there is a lack of effective means to intervene in nicotine addiction. In recent years, the role of the orexin system in nicotine addiction has attracted great attention. Multiple preclinical studies have consistently found that orexin receptor antagonists have a significant intervention effect on nicotine addiction. Objective: This study focuses on the role and mechanism of orexin in nicotine addiction, and will reveal the neurobiological basis of orexin in nicotine addicts after withdrawal, and its potential as a biomarker for predicting and preventing relapse possible. Methods: This study will combine neuropsychology, neuroimaging, and detection of plasma orexin expression levels to explore whether nicotine addiction-related behaviors, including nicotine withdrawal symptoms, cue-induced increased psychological craving, and relapse behavior are related to plasma orexin Levels are associated, and further explore the neural mechanism of its brain network. Based on the detection of plasma orexin, it is of great theoretical and clinical significance to verify whether it is used as a peripheral blood biomarker of nicotine addiction and to establish an objective evaluation index of nicotine addiction. More specifically, participants need to finish following aims:

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| smoking cessation combining with nicotine cue extinction training | Experimental | Participants should stop smoking after 18:00 the night before the test. Combined with cue exposure therapy, nicotine addicts were repeatedly presented with nicotine cue picture stimuli for extinction training, which lasted for 25 minutes. |
|
| smoking cessation combining with neutral cue extinction training | Placebo Comparator | Participants should stop smoking after 18:00 the night before the test, they are combined with cue exposure therapy, by repeatedly presenting neutral cue picture stimuli to nicotine addicts, and performing extinction training for 25 minutes. |
|
| smoking cessation combining with fasting and nicotine cue extinction training | Experimental | Participants should stop smoking and eating food after 18:00 the night before the test. Combined with cue exposure therapy, nicotine addicts are repeatedly presented with nicotine cue picture stimuli for extinction training, which lasts for 25 minutes. |

| extinction training (nicotine cues) | Behavioral | extinction training: were repeatedly presented with nicotine cue picture stimuli for extinction training, which lasted for 25 minutes. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change from baseline in smoking craving on Visual Analog Scale of Cigarette Craving at week 2 | Nicotine-specific Visual Analog Scale is a valid measurements of craving for a cigarette. Possible scores range from 0 (no craving) to 10 (want cigarette imediately). Change= (Week 2 score - baseline score) | baseline and week 2 |
| change from baseline in smoking craving on Visual Analog Scale of Cigarette Craving at week 4 | Nicotine-specific Visual Analog Scale is a valid measurements of craving for a cigarette. Possible scores range from 0 (no craving) to 10 (want cigarette imediately). Change= (Week 2 score - baseline score) | baseline and week 4 |
| Change from baseline in orexin level at 24 hours after administration of extinction training. | Collect 5ml of venous blood from particicpants and use a detection kit to detect orexin level. | baseline and 24 hours after administration of extinction training. |

| Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependence Test | The Fagerström Test for Nicotine Dependence is a standard instrument for assessing the intensity of physical addiction to nicotine. The test was designed to provide an ordinal measure of nicotine dependence related to cigarette smoking. It contains six items that evaluate the quantity of cigarette consumption, the compulsion to use, and dependence. | baseline |

| smoking cessation combining with early lifting of fast and nicotine cue extinction training | Sham Comparator | Participants should stop smoking and eating food after 18:00 the night before the test. After breakfast at 8:00 in the morning, they are combined with cue exposure therapy, by repeatedly presenting neutral cue picture stimuli to nicotine addicts, and performing extinction training for 25 minutes. |
|
| healthy control | No Intervention | Non-smoker healthy subjects matched with the smoking group in terms of age, gender, education level, etc. were used as the control group. Those healthy participants will finish fMRI scanning task. |
| extinction training (neutral cues) | Behavioral | extinction training: were repeatedly presented with neutral cue picture stimuli for extinction training, which lasted for 25 minutes. |
|
| Time-restricted smoking cessation | Behavioral | Limiting cigarette intake within each day to a shorter interval, thus, no cigarette from 18:00 pm to 10:00 am. |
|
| Time-restricted fasting | Behavioral | Limiting food intake within each day to a shorter interval, thus, no food from 18:00 pm to 10:00 am. |
|
|
| Time-restricted fasting with food supplemnet | Behavioral | Limiting food intake within each day to a shorter interval, thus, no food from 18:00 pm to 8:00 am, then supplied with breakfast. |
