Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Enhanced care	Enhanced Care	Participants will take part in an approximate one-hour health and smoking feedback session at the University of Chicago in Dr. King's Clinical Addictions Research Laboratory (CARL). The session will follow the Courage to Quit™ (CTQ) Roadmap program (developed by Dr. King with the Respiratory Health Association). This roadmap shorter version of the larger CTQ program has been specifically designed as an inpatient bedside or outpatient brief intervention guide to assess smoking cessation motivation, consequences of smoking, facts and myths about smoking, barriers to making a change, approved medications, de-bunking myths about medications or treatments without scientific evidence (e-cigarette, laser treatments, herbals, etc.), and gaining social support.
Treatment as Usual	TAU	Participants will receive the National Cancer Institute (NCI) pamphlet "Clearing the Air" and access to related online resources, which includes brief advice to quit smoking and medication information.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Smoking reduction	Past-week CPD at 1- and 6-month follow-up	Change in average cigarettes per day (CPD)
Quit attempts	Any reported (and serious) quit attempts since last session at 1- and 6-month follow-up	Change in number of any and serious (12+hr) quit attempts
Motivation to change smoking	Increases in stage of change at 1- and 6-month follow-ups	Increase in motivation to change smoking behavior via smoking contemplation ladder (Biener-Abrams Contemplation Ladder) scores. Scores are on a 10-point scale from 0-10, with higher scores indicating higher motivation to quit smoking.
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) use	Any reported NRT use since last session at 1- and 6- month follow-up	Change in frequency of NRT use
Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) knowledge	More accurate knowledge about NRT at 1- and 6-month follow-ups	Increase in accurate knowledge about NRT assessed by two items rated from a 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree) scale measuring agreement to the NRT myths, "NRT causes cancer" and "NRT is only used by weak people".
