This study is looking at how couples who both smoke can support each other when one partner tries to quit. It focuses on a concept called "communal coping," which means working together as a team to overcome a shared challenge like quitting smoking. Researchers want to understand what kinds of support truly help these couples succeed. You can join if you are over 18, smoke daily (at least 5 cigarettes), are in a committed relationship with another daily smoker who is willing to participate, and one of you is ready to try quitting. The study will measure if the quitting partner stops smoking and the level of carbon monoxide in their lungs daily for two weeks, and then again two weeks later.
