Rural Smoking Cessation Study

This study is looking into ways to help people in rural areas quit smoking, as rural communities have higher smoking rates. It's testing two different nicotine replacement therapies: Nicoderm CQ nicotine patches and Nicorette Nicotine Lozenges. You might be able to join if you are at least 21 years old, smoke 5 or more cigarettes daily, and have a smartphone. You cannot join if you've used nicotine replacement therapy in the last 30 days, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. The main goal is to see how many participants successfully quit all tobacco products after 3 months. The study is currently recruiting participants.
