Project DEDUCE: Understanding Smoking and the Environment
This study, called Project DEDUCE, is looking at how your everyday environment affects cigarette smoking and can lead to relapse. Researchers want to understand this better by using digital tools on smartphones. All participants will receive transdermal nicotine replacement therapy (21 mg patches) to help them quit smoking. The study aims to find out the average number of days it takes for someone to start smoking again after quitting, measured over about 6.5 months. You may be able to join if you are 21 or older, smoke at least 10 cigarettes daily, have smoked for at least two years, intend to quit soon, and have a compatible smartphone. The current status of this study is unclear.
