Summary

This trial is comparing two different ways to help people quit smoking cigarettes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for smokers who have smoked at least one cigarette daily for the past year, want to quit within a month, and are willing to try a digital program. They must live in the US, read English, not use other cessation methods, be open to random assignment to either program, and have daily access to a smartphone with text messaging and Facebook Messenger.
What is being tested?
The study compares two remote digital smoking cessation programs. Participants will receive support through their smartphones using either an experimental or control program designed to help them stop smoking.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves non-medical interventions (digital programs), traditional side effects like those from drugs aren't expected. However, participants may experience stress or frustration related to quitting smoking.
