We are conducting this research study to learn how well a new smartphone application (app) helps adult smokers quit smoking. Participants will be randomly assigned (like a coin toss) to one of two app programs designed to help people quit smoking. If you agree to join the study, you will receive access to your assigned app at no cost to you.
You will be asked to use a quit smoking app for two months, including the in-app notifications, and complete three 10–20-minute study surveys (at the time you join the study, at two-months and six-months after joining the study). Participants will receive up to $124 by mail.
You do not have to be in this study. You are free to say yes or no, or to drop out after joining. There is no penalty if you say no or if you change your mind later.
