This study is testing a mobile text messaging program called Quitxt to help young Latino adults quit smoking. Quitxt uses bilingual (Spanish and English) messages, chat, and videos to help you change your smoking habits. It's compared to standard text messages and referrals to a state cessation program. The study aims to see if Quitxt helps people stop smoking, with success measured at 6 months. You can join if you are a Latino adult between 18 and 29 years old, smoke at least three days a week, want to quit, and have a cell phone. The study is currently recruiting 1,200 participants.
