Summary

This trial will test whether giving smokers nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) or motivational interviewing (MI) can help them successfully practice quitting.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking adults in the continental U.S. who smoke daily (5+ cigarettes) and aren't planning to quit within 30 days but are considering quitting or reducing smoking within 6 months. They must have a smartphone for study procedures. It's not for those who vape daily, are pregnant/breastfeeding, or have had recent heart attacks or strokes.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether Practice Quitting (PQ) counseling, Motivational Interviewing (MI), or Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) sampling helps smokers practice quitting—trying not to smoke temporarily without pressure to quit permanently.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from NRT may include skin irritation from patches, mouth issues from lozenges, headaches, sleep problems, nausea, and dizziness. Counseling interventions typically do not have physical side effects.
