Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Participants will discuss reasons for quitting, the model of smoking as a learned habit, triggers for smoking, and trigger management; receive brief training in how to manage withdrawal symptoms and relapse prevention counseling and receive the NCI Clearing the Air self-help smoking cessation booklet. The target quit date (TQD) session will be scheduled to occur up to 2 weeks following the pre-quit session. Participants will then meet with a smoking cessation counselor for a 15 minute booster counseling session. During the first week following TQD there will be two monitoring visits to closely monitor abstinence. Weekly thereafter for four weeks, participants will attend a brief booster counseling session.
