Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.
