The primary goal of this study is to use qualitative interviews and focus groups to aid us in adapting a face-to-face smoking cessation intervention for delivery through text messaging. After design is completed, the intervention will be pilot tested with a sample of young adults (ages 18-35) who smoke. Final assessments will be conducted at 7 weeks (end of treatment) and both 3 and 6 month follow up.
