The TEAL study is looking at two ways to help people quit smoking, especially those who are getting screened for lung cancer. You might receive phone-based support with a tobacco treatment specialist and nicotine replacement (patches and lozenges), or you might be referred to a Tobacco Quitline. The study aims to see which approach is more effective at helping people stop smoking. You could be eligible if you are between 50 and 80 years old, currently smoke, and are getting a lung cancer screening. Success in this study means you have stopped smoking, which will be checked at 3 and 6 months.
