Summary

This trial will test if using a smartphone app can help smokers quit by using cues to help them resist cravings.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who smoke daily and either quit within the last 3 months or currently smoke at least 3 cigarettes a day. Participants must have a smartphone that supports AR, be willing to download an app, and speak English. People with another household member in the study can't join.

What is being tested?

The study tests if using a smartphone app that exposes users to smoking cues can help people stop smoking when combined with Quitline services. Some will use just Quitline services, others will get additional support from updating an existing app.

What are the potential side effects?

Since this trial involves behavioral interventions rather than medications, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience increased cravings or stress during cue exposure through the app.
