Abstract

A detailed procedure for making placebo cigarette butts or β€œbogus butts” which can be used in the observation and treatment of pica for cigarettes is described. These placebo cigarette butts have been used successfully with several individuals in a residential treatment setting.

The use of these bogus butts allows the clinician/researcher to use a stimulus object which can be safely ingested, thus permitting a functional analysis of the target behavior as well as assessment of potential treatment approaches without the possible interference and confound of a prevention procedure such as physically removing the pica material before it is consumed, limiting the length of baseline, or intervening during the baseline.
