You will be expected to: attend 6 60-minute sessions, 1 per week for 6 weeks, and practice new coping skills every day between sessions.
You will receive $50 total for completing 3 study surveys. Both programs include 6 coaching phone calls and 4 weeks of nicotine patches or lozenges at no cost. You could be chosen to participate in other project activities for an additional $50.
